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

Oo, Consuela, I'd love to read it too.

Because books.

Which is very nice on a day when I'm very anxiously awaiting callbacks from potential employers and so forth.

That's always nice! Sending job~ma, too. Hang in there.

Oo, Consuela, I'd love to read it too.

Burrell: Here is Carpetbaggers. It's fairly child-safe, with a bit more explicit acknowledgement of violence and political strife than in the original. But it's intended to be consistent with Lewis, if simultaneously a bit critical of his world-building.

I hope you enjoy it!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

And it's nearly time for the spring haircut, to get my hair off my neck as it gets hot. And it's also time for the spring argument with Hubby, where he pouts and moans at the very idea of me cutting my hair. "You could put witch hazel on your neck to cool it off!" "Or I could cut my hair and not worry about it." "A topknot! Why not a topknot?" "Because all that hair held close to my head keeps the heat in. Why don't you grow your hair long?" Shockingly, he had no reply to that one.

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

Kilimanjaro is an immensely exciting prospect!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Random awkward situations today (brought to mind by exciting travel):

The current high-up in our practice group is making noise about having our next annual meeting in Maui, a step up from this years' golf resort in Scottsdale. This is coming up because we have mounds of travel/expense money in the budget - because of the practice lead having a stroke a few months ago. Urp. He's still in rehab, not travelling obviously, and apparently there's a 100k or something burning a hole in someone's pocket?

Also, I'm struggling a bit with a sympathy card for my SIL, whose grandmother died this week. Said grandmother was good to my bro but apparently just horrid to her blood family - which may or may not have something to do with having been put to work in the coal mines by Stalin (presumbably not personnally) at the age of 10.

Also someone in our Hong Kong office commissioned a song - not an advertising jingle, but like a folksy singer-songwriter inspirational song - based on our corporate tag line. I can't even.
