There is a squall directly over my house right now. Holy shit it is loud!
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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

Hubby took me driving around alternate routes to work that don't go anywhere near the freeway. There's a whole bustling commercial area just down the road that I had no idea about! An insanely easy-to-get to supermarket that I can easily pop into on my way to work, and it's in a fancy new development, so they'll have better stuff than the branch in my neighborhood that knows its primary clientele is students adn poor people. All sorts of places to grab breakfast if I don't have time to fix it myself. And the roads are new and wide and don't have too many stoplights. This will work.

Connie, do you feel like you drove through a portal or an invisible wardrobe door?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Too cold here for my taste, but at least the sun is out. Snow or something like it is supposed to show up Sunday night. End, winter, end!

... and apparently they're going to meet my original salary request, but it's still a tossup whether the client is going to agree.
And because my life isn't complicated enough, a firm that didn't even give me an interview last fall now wants to know if I'm still looking for work. I'm tempted to sneer at them, but with my luck, the Former Employer gig will fall through if I do that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm finally listening to David O. Russell on Fresh Air, and it's so good!

No, just over the hill and around the curve. Apparently that's where all the people who have alledgedly been moving into my area have been going. Unfortunately, ten years ago it was wonderful undeveloped meadows full of wildlife on the edge of a national forest.

Fair enough. Whenever I find myself in an area that I didn't even realize existed, part of my brain suspects I went through a portal.

I keep having dreams like that, when I open a small door in my house and discover there's a whole other, nicer wing to the place. Or the basement is furnished and I never knew.
