I'm glad you have supportive people, vw.
I am so furious with Comcast right now that I'm about ready to sign usup for DSL. Or I would, if I had a working phone or internet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Tales of the public library: My coworker just fielded the following question at the desk: "Do you have any books on how to open a strip club?" (We do not. But we have a lot of books on starting a business in general, as well as classes.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
"Do you have any books on how to open a strip club?" (We do not.
I don't even know WHY I have a library card!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Second trip to the kosher supermarket yielded the things I couldn't find on the first trip. (Also helps, that it wasn't insanely crowded like it was on Sunday.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Huh. Out of spouse, stepson, brothers, BIL, father, uncles, cousins and nephews (a pretty large crowd when you add them all up), I have exactly two male relations with that last letter.

Our wings are not tired.
I married one and have a son with the same name, so contributing to the popularity apparently. As did my father and brother.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My nephew is, I think, my only male relative with that last letter.
I just used set theory at work! Didn't call it that, but in my head I knew.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I have two brothers, two cousins, two nephews and one son whose name ends in n. Though only one of them seems to fit the trend described (there's a nephew Aiden, the others all have names that peaked at least 30 years ago).

I have a confusing number of Johns (no, not that kind) in my ancestry, plus a Herman and a Ruben. AFAIK, neither Herman nor Ruben are in danger of becoming trendy. (My grandfather's brother Rube was christened Emanuel Ruben, but had his name changed to Ruben Emanuel. My grandfather was named Frank Edward, but changed his name to Edward Frank. I do not have a clue why.)
