Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think what Ginger thinks.

And, interestingly enough, I am drinking bourbon which, iirc, is what Ginger DRINKS.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That reminds me that when I was looking at vintage flatware on eBay, a LOT of the listings said the pieces had no disposal damage. Which kind of made me laugh and also feel better about my own disposal-damaged flatware!

I keep a hair-catcher-type drain cover over the kitchen sink drain to keep flatware from falling into the disposal. The idea of having to reach into a disposal to fetch out a spoon? Scary. Nuh-uh.

Work is eating me from my bottom.

"I've thought about the issues you described, and have some ideas on a plan of action, if you are interested.." Start talking, at some point pull out your 'notes,' maybe?

Disclaimer: My last real interview was 16 years ago. Everything else has been in-house handwavium.

Pumpkin is snoring.

Now that there's no Devi (sob) curled up behind my knees, she's taken over the spot regularly. Also, when she was being a creeper-cat, hanging out on my neighbor's deck and windowsills and staring inside, the Punk was TALKING with me. Made me cry a bit, but also, aw. Devi and I totally had a call & response conversational-nonsense thing that would go on and on and on, but P&L pretty much only converse with me when they want something. AKA demand/whine. And while I knew that, I didn't realize how much I'd miss the stupid nonsensical convo. Which I have. And tonight, yeah, thanks Pumpkin.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, Pumpkin, good kitty.

My folk band people sell albums that way. I was all, "I have this cash from your merch sales. Where is your lockbox?" And they were all, uh, see this tin can that we usually just leave out?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So did I mention I have a student who wrote a paper on Buffy? It was a good paper too, although I might be a bit of a pushover when it comes to Buffy. She knew the show, knew what she was talking about--A, right?

Great minds and great drinkers....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds right to me, Burrell. That's so cool.

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

OOH, I have bourbon!

You know, I had this whole list of things I was going to get done this week, like cleaning, and weeding, and a Home Depot trip, and actual cooking.

I didn't even take a shower today.

Hell yeah!

She's a cool gal too, I like her.

So tonight's nit count was higher than I'd like. But on the plus side, mostly empty egg sacs, plus three nymphs. Ick! I wish I weren't so well versed in how to take care of lice. Then again, times like these it's useful.
