Thrive to spite them

I'm not sure what "scrunchie time" is but the only image I have is Hillary putting her hair back in a scrunchie.

Our wings are not tired.

flea, ha! Joanna (Simkin) laughed at me when we were in NYC because every third word she said I was like "um, hang on now chica, I gotta look that up on urbandictionary.com!!"

For some reason, Kim Severson (NYTs writer) follows me on Twitter and she just RT'd my latest Tweet about my love for Hillary. What's interesting is that Obama was definitely the cool cat a few years ago and Hillary was largely seen as kind of staid? And seen a bit through the prism of being married to Big Dog. So it's really fun to see this Tumblr kind of inspire peeps to see her in a different way. It makes me very happy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Apparently, Zimmerman has left Florida.

Uhrig told the press that, if people are trying to find Zimmerman, they should “stop looking in Florida” and “look much farther way.”

How is that NOT person of interest, fleeing jurisdiction?

Is he on the run from the cops, or hiding from the press? Or is there a difference?

ION, I spent weeks last year writing a white paper on the program I administer, a FAQ statement for the public affairs guys, so they could answer questions from the public, or even provide the FAQ itself.

It got reviewed and reviewed again here, and then sent upstairs, and my Big Boss loved it, and it went to Miami and then finally to Washington, and it was reviewed and commented on again, and then... it stopped. And someone finally called me today to let me know that Someone didn't like the idea of sharing information with the public about the program.

And that's it. What a frelling waste of many people's time. Everything in the document was stuff I have said to the press, to members of the public, to other organizations, and to politicians. But god forbid it be written down anywhere.

MERF.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The alarm has gone off a half-hour earlier than usual the last few days so Gary can get to work for meetings at 7:30. Sleepy cat is sleepy.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Could someone do me a favor? I (er, finally) am getting around to deactivating my OKCupid account. I haven't looked at it in years -- pretty much since the day M and I got together -- but I never deleted it (I feel like maybe I tried and couldn't figure it out?) and I keep getting the occasional email and those Quiver emails. So I just logged in for the first time in years and disabled my account, but I want to make sure it worked. Can someone who has a current OKC account look me up (my username was risingtide, or possibly risingtide80) and let me know whether or not my profile is still showing up?

Thanks! (I'm about to head home from work but will check in later tonight.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No one by either of those names!
