Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fingers crossed for Suela's Mom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching Moneyball, and really feel like I should be looking for Suzi in the crowd shots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And sounds like good weekends for both Lee and msbelle!

I would like to get a piece of the chocolate (zucchini) cake I just made, but don't want to move the cat. Oh, but he gets pills soon, so that will get him up. Pills for him, cake for me -- sounds about right.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Transition~ma for your mom, Consuela.

I'm watching Two Towers with amyth. My tree is up and mostly decorated, which was the main thing I wanted to accomplish today.

It's supposed to get very cold tonight (24F), but I have a cat on my lap, wine to hand, good company, and pretty lights on my tree. So I'm feeling pretty content.

It was 34° when I walked out of the office sans coat tonight. I like cold weather, but I'd prefer it to transitiona little slower.

I'm starting to watch Henry Louis Gates' most recent genealogy series on PBS, called Finding Your Roots. I am stunned by how dumb some actors seem to be (Adrien Grenier, I am looking at you) and how smart and charming and engaging other can be (I think Robert Downey Jr. just seduced me while discussing a Swiss ancestor who owned one cow in the census.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I've been wearing my Blackhawks sweatshirt around, and suddenly it was below freezing and I was all, huh, where is my actual coat?

It was locked out?

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

Life of Pi, Skyfall, Lincoln, Anna Karenina, or Wreck-It Ralph? Or stay in and knock some episodes off my tv queue? The 31° temp is making the latter pretty tempting.

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

I'm watching Moneyball

Ooh! I've had that DVD for approximately seven million years. Perhaps when I finally finish my second task (the first was another muffin iteration, which I had knocked out before breakfast--I love that zone with a baking research project where it feels nice and automatic--in six months it'll feel like a huge production and I'll never consider it standard again. Silly me.)

During said slacking off I did follow a lot of tangents on the web, so it wasn't not fascinating. But I can't wear knowledge to a wedding, so this time I'm really serious. I mean, once I finish dessert...it would be silly to interrupt it.
