I regularly mis-saw a signal sign reading "This is your signal" as "This is your life" in a rather dank period in my life. My reaction varied between laughing and crying.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Kentucky was a border state. Mary Todd's father was a slave owner, but her family was divided over the war. She was a staunch supporter of Lincoln and the Union, but some of her brothers fought for the Confederacy.
Lincoln was always opposed to slavery, but like many well-meaning people of the era, did not know what the solution was. He supported repatriation to Africa or some type of gradual end to slavery, possibly including the government reimbursing slaveholders for the value of their slaves. He thought the main issue of the war was retaining the Union, but after Antietam, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation to weaken the South and encourage slaves to fight for the Union.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Some Israeli children and grandchildren of Auschwitz survivors are getting their parents' or grandparents' number tattooed on their arms. I'm really uncertain how I feel about this. [link]

That's a interesting article, Hil. I didn't know the tattoos were only for the workers and started relatively late.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was looking at the tv listings tonight and it seems that ABC and CBS are trying to battle for my soul.
ABC: Once Upon a Time, Revenge, 666 Park Avenue
CBS: Amazing Race, Good Wife, Mentalist
As much as I love the Good Wife, I suspect my Sunday (close to) real time shows are going to be TAR, Revenge and 666 Park Ave, and Good Wife and Once upon on a time will be watched later in the week.
Escapism FTW!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I went with The Good Wife, Revenge, and 666 Park Ave tonight, and I am pleased, if up too late. That is partially because it was too darn hot today and once it finally cooled off I had a little burst of energy. Supposed to be over 100 tomorrow, I'm thinking a siesta in front of the swamp cooler may be in order.

I'm taking a mental health day. I've been up since 5:30 (this is a monday morning thing, WHY?) and have been dithering back and forth. On one, I could do today. Other? Well, there is no other than this is one of those rare days where it won't chase after me, so goddamn it.

Should I be interested in 666?
