I went to college with a Japanese dude with albinism, but I can't think of anyone else since then.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sean, I'm so sorry about your grandmother. All strength and courage to your friend, his family, and those who love him.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I started today out productively, and have been to the hair salon and the farmer's market and cost plus, where I bought my first two Halloween decorations. Something tells me I may be going overboard with that, now that I have a whole house to play with.
Now though, I seem to be going back to bed. Ooops

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So I'm in Chicago, and I got to go climbing this morning with an old XF pal, and the rest of the visit is solid family, including visiting the 140 acre farm in Wisconsin my brother just bought... It even has an apple orchard! Ridiculous!
So I can't visit with any Chicagoistas, but I wanted to wave hello and note how lovely the weather is...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My condolences, Sean.
I am the opposite of Lee, as I've been relatively unproductive (caught up on TDS and Colbert, finished The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, started a new knitting project), and now I need to shower, do laundry, and write the paper that's due tomorrow.

The status is NOT quo.
I am Lee. I am strongly considering a nap before resuming momentum for the day.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
So far today: Dishes, counters, recycling, water the plants, revise eBay listings, and about to take Matilda and Emmett out on a photo-taking expedition for Emmett's art elective.

And Sean, I am so very sorry for your loss. Much love to you and all your family. And I'm thinking all good thoughts for your friend and his wife and children.
Next time you end up in the Bay Area, hugs and hairpats and comfort food await you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Last night we went to the Nats game, with Strassburg pitching.(Not very well, alas) Mostly fun, though the heat and the shrieking kids behind us were annoying. Today I took the cats to the vet(see Beep Me for more), we got groceries and I went to the mall to get a new purse and some other stuff.
Tomorrow we're going to the Takoma Park Folk Festival for a while, then, in the evening, we have tickets to see Rush perform at Jiffy Lube Live.(Still think that's an awful name for a concert venue, but what can you do?)

He's done for the season, actually. That was his last start.
