'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Margaret Thatcher died.
Thatcher had dementia for a long time, which is kind of sad, but I know there are still a LOT of people in the UK who loathe her and nearly everything she did when she was in power. One o my old friends, who grew up in Manchester in the 1980s, always swore she would dance on the woman's grave.
As a child, I was terrified of Grover because he sang a song called "I'm So Blue", and it made me too sad. So my favorite is Snuffaluphagus. Even thought I think he is a girl, which is part of why he is my favorite.
I don't know about the muppets- possibly Miss Piggy. Or Beaker.
I don't know what those pink things were that sang the back-up in Mah-nah-mah-nah, but those are also favorites.
Brenda - I am setting up an interview for tomorrow with a Ms. S.K. ../
that's the flaily hands symbol, yes?
OH, and one of the internal jobs, they are actually talking to me about it. I have a call today to set up a face-to-face.
It is the less good of the two internal jobs, but I figure any consideration buys me more days here.

A bit like Reagan. I wonder if they'll end up with St. Maggie syndrome.
maybe.
Grover is my Sesame Street fave. Elmo is the little red menace.
Aurelia is me.
Eeeeeeh, interview this afternoon! I don't know for what position.
Kermit arms!
I do remember noticing that people my age without kids tended to hate Elmo, and people my age with kids were so fucking grateful for his influence that they liked him. I don't know how pervasive or durable that attitude is, but one of those hints that I probably wasn't going to be raising kids.
Along with the multi-million others. Not really a close call, that.
I loved Thatcher at the time because she was a woman and in charge. Didn't take that many years for me to feel that wasn't enough. But I am still defensive of Indira Gandhi for pretty much that entire reason.
I am dead this morning. It's hella windy (cafe employees are mocking the hair on people walking by, but not mine!), enough that you can smell the ocean from here, and you're not supposed to. Doors are hard to open, and you're actually leaning into the wind.
Interview ~ma to msbelle and -t! With extra Kermit arms!
