You're right, it was "belieber."
So that's gross, but less offensive.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Most retweets really only has short term value for the company concerned--I'm going to be put off them, especially if this is how I hear of them.
Hmm. Twenty past eleven. I think this is a decent time to call the nurse. She's enough late for "between ten and eleven", right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The Bieber thing is just so ridiculous. Some on my twitter feed are blaming it on him being 19. I read Anne Frank in high school or jr high and I was fucking DONE. Emotionally fucked up for months. Read holocaust texts for months later. Went through a whole "human beings are terrible" phase, reading about worldwide atrocities and shit.
Granted, I was kind of intense as a teenager. But there is no fucking way I would have written bullshit like that at age 14 much less 19.
I have been highly amused at the twitter response. One person expressed regret that Gandhi wasn't alive to read his tech columns. Another made up fake quotes from Bieber like: Usher would have discovered Malcolm if he had lived.

I planted begonias and geraniums in the hanging plants out front. Alas, still no vacuum belts. That has to be remedied by next weekend.
Also got to chase the escape artist known as Pumpkin down the block. Damn, she's fast.

More evidence that I should declutter more often: discovered a 3.5" floppy disc drive for an early Macintosh. I almost feel like I should call up a computer museum or something.

Thanks, folks. I do kind of think it was the alcohol, because I felt more buzzed than I should have when I go home. But I have eaten some applesauce and a piece of toast with jam, and I feel rather less shaky.
Still, I'm annoyed: it's a beautiful day and I was going to take the dog for a long run. Bah.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Sometimes, it's how things mix together and stuff. Or you caught a bug. Either way, feel better soon. Sounds like Bieber needs to think about something besides himself and his hype.(he actually sounds like a nice guy, but I would say that teen-idolness is not the most *aware* way to grow up.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh Beibs, Anne might have been into you... until you opened your mouth.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Yeah, I like to think she'd have found him vapid.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Taxes are done, and I think we owe an underpayment penalty. AUGH.
This is not a big deal. The big deal is that the taxes are done, and in a little over a week, I will move to a place with warm weather and civilization. I am calm.
