Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was saying, I, personally, don't even tread on things that are legal, much less things that are not. I like my tax exempt status!

Heh. Yes.

The woman she was talking to, born here, but from a Mexican immigrant family, said she was voting for Romney because "he is for Israel and the Bible says God tells us to support Israel."

Oh, sure -- Four years ago, my very socially liberal Modern Othodox Jewish coworker was seriously considering McCain because of Israel.

I mean, I can sort of understand single-issue voting, but am still slightly mind-boggled when your single issue is abroad.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Technically my single issue is abroad: warfare, but it's being carried out by my students in poverty, so it's a personal domestic issue as well.

In ridiculous news, ads that say Nashville is "Wednesday's #1 new drama" actually aren't all that compelling. How many more new dramas could there be on Wednesday??

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Does new-to-Wednesday count? Because you better beware of the Supernatural juggernaut!

And I swear I was reminded of either Tuesday or Thursday's #1 new show too.

I have decided that my instructions to people who cut my hair will be: "As long as I'm not bald, it's okay."

What? Muffin checking time already? But I just sat down!

Jessica,

how did your talk with the neighbor-mom go?

How terrible for your son. That's biting really really hard. I'm not sure I can bite someone that hard through a shirt.

Loki was so cute and cuddly until he saw I was awake and started prodding me out of bed. By toe nipping. Not so cute.
