The most striking moment for me in Foster's speech was when she spoke to her mother. I assume her mom must have dementia? Anyway, made me cry buckets.
I thought Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were great.
Zoe: We're getting him back. Jayne: What are we gonna do, clone him?

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Go you, Lee!
I thought Jodie Foster's speech was just...weird. It seemed like she hadn't quite made up her mind what she was going to say until she got up there.
I don't think she was certain of what she'd say and really nervous which must be kinda weird for someone who's talked in front of a lot of people her whole life. But I still found it to be touching when I just watched.

That's what I thought. And, yeah, that part had me weeping.

How long are the flu shot side effects supposed to last? I know it didn't give me flu. I don't even have the immunity yet! I think I may have caught a normal cold by sitting in a room of people freaked out about flu. I don't feel like I'm going to be ready to teach in six hours. Argh. I wish I weren't such a whiner.

Mine usually last a few days. Achy and exhausted. Which, drat, I really hope the Rite Aid has more doses tomorrow. I know I need one.

Not uncommon. I am shocked I spent half a day at DMV and didn't pick up something from all of the people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been awake for far too long. Three more days of this, ugh.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hang in there -t. That's a tough schedule.
Well, I'm still feverish and my lymph nodes are swollen this morning, so I've called off work. Woes. The whole point of me staying home from the recording sessions trip was to keep the school going. Oh well, it is what it is. I will now stop stressing about it. Maybe make a drugstore run here in a bit, and then buckle down to a serious day of not very much. Oh, and I need to take out the trash too.

Took out the trash and the cold ash...-2 degrees. And dropping.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
As per my usual losing things issues, I have lost my anti-depressant prescription. Like, the actual pills. I thought they might be at work, but they are not here. I can get new ones at 11 am, but since I haven't had one since Friday, I am now at work in weird withdrawal- the brain-zap things. Everything is fine as long as I do not need to look at anything that moves or move my head. Which is kind of difficult.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Oh Sophia, I hope 11am come quickly for you.
It is 2 degrees here this morning with an anticipated "high" of 19 degrees. Glad I'm working from home but bummed that all the blankets are sealed up in the garage. I'd love to be snuggled up with a blanket while I work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's still 50 here! I had to find my spring coat!
My mind is full of vacation and I want to bug my mother for more details about our March trip, but I realize that is unnecessary at this stage. Also I should maybe be working?
