I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Just bought a ticket to see Audra McDonald in concert in October. Woot! I love being somewhere where things happen again.

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

The Klein article is all the mindfuck I think I can handle at this juncture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

someone should be able to keep their butt in the seat for 5 hours straight

Don't they know that sitting is what is killing us all?!?!?!?!?!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The 8-glasses-of-water-a-day thing was never real medical advice, FWIW. I think most people drink when they're thirsty and do just fine.

Our wings are not tired.

I drink a lot of water, well more than a lot. This may be related to living in a hot climate and sweating a lot. It would not be unusual for me to go to the restroom 5-6 times a day at work. It is at the opposite side of the building so I get a bit of walk in too! So with the whole being an old female and drinking gallons of water, the person keeping track of my restroom breaks would need a long sheet of paper.

I'm thirsty right now and I have a carafe (half full) a bottle (2/3 full), a mug (1/3 full), and a cup (3/4 full, marvel at my variety) and I'm not drinking anything because I also want to pee and don't want to get up.

I am probably not the most stupid person not drinking right now, but there might be clamour for second best.

Barring extenuating circumstances which may complicate matters, I think most people drink when they're thirsty.

Because books.

That was a topic for writers consider on our white board for a long time: SITTING KILLS!!! Written just like in bright red marker, too.
