"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I keep up on shit like this, and even I am skeeved out by the details thus far. You need to give it a wide wide berth.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Glad your mom's surgery went well, Dana.

It's raining here. Again. It's also on the cool side. Who would have thought we'd get an extended April, instead of the May we were expecting?

Because books.

The Cleveland thing is so weird. I can't imagine how no one knew they were there for ten years, and what happened yesterday to give the one woman a chance to get out.

Today was awful, for values of awful that include no one dying or sick or houses burning. Two people got fired, one totally justly, and the other not at all, and the atmosphere in the office is essentially "hunched over, waiting for the next blow."

But that was MY day. Stephen had a great job interview and is going back for a second, and Sara loved the Friends school where she'll probably go next year (my mom works there). Yay.

This is the first chance I've had to open the board since first thing this morning.

information libertarian

I had one of those public library days where it seemed like every other person I worked with was mentally ill. Many of the rest were just jobless and/or homeless. I'm glad they have the library to go to, but sometimes it makes me sad to see so many people not doing that well.

Fuck yeah!

That's great!

Thanks, Hec!

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

Woo hoo! Rooting for Stephen (I have only known a Steven and can never get anyone else's ph/v's correct, other than little Stevie Beauregard (he was ten years older than us when we met him in Montreal--no real idea why he hung with the kids, but hello rapid education!).

I am in a mood to post all my old friends full names all over the place, so let me banish that urge by saying here COLIN FERGUSON COLIN FERGUSON COLIN FERGUSON. Hopefully that'll dampen it.

I drew a picture I really like (and it's even getting notes! my stuff is generally tumblr-unpopular), I had way nicer sushi than I was expecting for lunch (also less, but I can work out the value proposition here--it's nice to know a good place nearby, I guess, even if it's not lunch material), and I got more of the random work discounts at Staples (more than 50% off the file jackets! That's an office supply orgasm right there! No, I will not join your paltry Rewards Club-bow before my discount which is apparently better than the sales clerk gets--I am so screwed...).

But I've had three lie downs with H2O2, and still blocked. Do normale people do preventive maintenance and I slacked off? Or should my body be taking care of this? My right ear feels fine! But so did this left one yesterday...

That's a fantastic post. Jesse, I agree!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I swear, it's like I have a tumblr bat-signal. I can't seem to reblog it from my phone, but will get to it tomorrow.

Go, Stephen!

I am staying with my father again, and am so tired. I wonder how early I can get him to go to bed...
