I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Good god. Apparently someone was held up at gunpoint a block from my house, for their iphone, at 12:45PM this afternoon. WTF?!?! Quiet residential street!

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

This is my shade of pink.

I don't care what meaning other people are attaching to it. It's a colour I like.

I am so fucking over everything for women* being breast cancer pink. Pink itself I don't have an issue with.

Word, Brenda.

Y'all know I work in an organization that, my office notwithstanding, has a lot of men in it. Like, the meeting I was in yesterday had 20 men and 3 women in it.

So right now they're pushing this "Movember for Men's Health" thing, where the men all grow mustaches to support awareness of men's health issues.

And it's really hard not to say, "Because nobody pays attention to men's health? Seriously?" Men are the default! Men are the ones the studies are done of! Men are the baseline.

But I won't, because I don't need a reputation.

Bring snacks with caramel in them to work as a form of quiet protest.

Caramel apples! Hot chocolate with whipped cream!

That's very funny.

Caramel popcorn. It might be easier to shave the moustaches than to clean them.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Watching the Sandy Relief concert on NBC, and I'm having flashbacks to sitting on my couch in DC watching the 9/11 telethon. My heart is breaking all over again. The devastation is mind-boggling.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I can't pay too close attention to the whole thing, because it all feels exactly like Katrina to me. The pictures, the reactions, the interviews, all of it.

It's a mashup of Katria and 9/11 for me. Combine that with the fragile state I'm in this year--I've had enough fucking loss thank you very much--and I'm tearing up and really feeling Rob's absence.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I keep tuning in and out myself.

Sometimes I can't stop looking at pictures. Sometimes I need to run out of the room.
