You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

That's why I practice Darwinian gardening. My plants just have to manage as best they can, the fittest will survive.

Man, I have an hour and half of work left and I so son't want to start anything. Sigh.

Right there with you.

Hm. Maybe I'll do a little documentation.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh yeah, I have a dream college auditorium. It has these great spaces where you have to do some creative scrambling, but you can easily navigate all the backstage areas. My subconscious is pretty hung up about backstages and knowing how to get from the front of a building to the back of a building without anyone seeing you. But in truth, a reasonable part of my waking life involves figuring this out in strange buildings too.

The one thing that I think is funny that is totally a dreamsign for me is escalators. My escalator phobia is well documented here. But their presence often means I'm in a dream. And very often they are strange escalators (that, of course, I totally accept in the dream) like escalators that take a sudden unexpected left turn, or people movers the whole length of a putt putt course outside of a hotel, or carpeted escalators. I was particularly fond of the carpeted one, that would really really never work in reality, but in the dream I was all, oh yeah, of course, this is great, it makes this hotel much easier to navigate barefoot. I'm unclear on why that was a feature.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I don't tend to remember my dreams, other that they're often quite random. Random scene changes, random people.

Art Crawl!!!

So, the iphone that I lost in December has been found.

And it still works.

It was in the spot where the university's plows pile all the snow they've plowed from the parking lots.

Given that I lost it in December or November - it had to have been at the very bottom of the pile.

That's an iPhone ad waiting to happen.

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

Sumi, wow!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's pretty crazy, sumi.

The end may be in sight for the taxes. I considered alcohol, but with still being sick, it's probably not a great idea. Tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be alcohol.

I really appreciate that this is the kind of place where I can say "I really fucked up at being an adult today," and get sympathy instead of judgment.

Sumi, I saw a Tumblr post from someone who had a similar "lost iPhone in giant snowbank" experience this winter, and it's kinda awesome to have you confirm it with your experience.

I just used "Don't start none, won't be none." in a work email.
