Happy birthday, Suzi!

The problem with going to California in winter is that it's sunny and in the 30s here in Chicago, and normally I'd call it a heat wave, but now I'm all woe is me it's so cold I was eating lunch outside in a T-shirt just the other day whiiiiine.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Happy birthday, Suzi.

I was in a short-sleeved top the other day and now I am wearing silks under my yoga pants.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I shoveled the front door and sidewalk clear, so go team me!

Yeah, I still have to go up to the parking space and do something about the car, but that's enough for today....

I put on outside pants and went to Target to buy a lamp, which I shall assemble now!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthday, Suzi!

Google ads based on my email are often hilarious because of rehearsal/performance reports. There have been times when ads following me around the internet after I've clicked a link here have prompted me to clear out cookies.

I still have aol because I can't convince my mother to stop using it. I did strip my address book after I got hacked once and now it's the one I use for stores that like to send out special deals daily.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I put on outside pants and walked to the library, where I even checked out books.

Then I came home and fell asleep, instead of doing laundry the way I should have.

Aurelia, do we still have a words with friends game going? I could have sworn we did, but the game is telling me we don't.

Lamp: assembled!

Now I shall make stuffed shells and then watch some Person of Interest.

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

I have to admit--I signed up for Hotmail because of the ad--I wanted to see what their offering is. For all the Gmail addresses I have, though, I rarely see ads--I don't use the web client so much--I read it on my Mac in Mail, or on my Android devices. Any time I log in to a Google account, I do it in a private tab, and don't browse with those cookies extant. I'm not sure when I caught Liese cooties...

Kidding. I do have the big cookie infection. I understand why corsets are following me around. I find it irritating, because that usually happens after I decided I don't want to buy the whatever, but I'm really really wondering why that cookie system leapt right ahead and tried to sell me dildos on a browser I swear I hadn't been doing that on (I also segregate accounts and identities into different browsers--Safari should give me XXX ads all the time. Opera should be reasonably well behaved...

For reasons I don't understand, though, when I signed up for Hotmail it assigned me a .co.uk address, and I couldn't make it not. So, booyah to all that tracking technology.
