We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

It's cool and dry enough outside that I threw open the windows and am airing the house out. After a month of having it shut up.

The cats are loving it, though there was a moment when the neighborhood grey cat ventured up on the porch. Pumpkin has quite an expressive war cry! Loki's is steady, but she throws in warbles and vibrato.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm watching Rachel Maddow tonight and you know how she usually has this dry ironic thing going on? Well she just channeled her inner Olbermann and gave a passionate rant about the VA Governor and San Diego Mayor for reducing the already tarnished image of public service. I kinda felt like apologizing myself, and I haven't been harassing employees or taking suspicious kickbacks.

Because books.

But I would love to know where I could get copy help like that.

I can write copy for you, you goof.

I just helped a friend title her new book series! That was fun. I haven't done title brainstorming in an age.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm watching Rachel Maddow too. I was impressed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BTW, I forget who posted it here, but there are 9K notes on the story about the people in Japan pushing the subway off the woman who fell in.

In other tumblr news, someone wrote in twice asking how to deactivate her blog. So that's nice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I'm still sad nobody smuggled a Longbottom in there (Potter would surely have been too much to hope for, but wouldn't that have rocked?).

And it had the advantage of hitting both the LOTR and the Harry Potter universes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just went to investigate why/what was making that odd noise from the garage, and it turned out Charlie was pawing at the door that leads to the back yard, so I thought he needed to go out, so I opened the door, and there was Dita on the outside side of the door.

I have absolutely no idea how she got out there either.
