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.

OMG, some people are all worked up over how Wills and Kate put the baby in the car seat: [link] Keep reading until you get to Diana references.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The good news is that Charlie was concerned about Dita's welfare.

Awww, Charlie has her back!

I have a sentence diagramming question:

How would you diagram any piece of dialogue?

For example, "'I cannot fathom why anyone might care,' she said."

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

My brother just stopped by for a brief visit. He's convinced he's got cancer and complained the whole visit. Really? I mean, I agree he's not healthy, but now seems like a great time to let go of his imaginary cancer.

It's chilly this morning! I'm not running the a/c and my house is cooler on every floor than it has been in a month! I'm unreasonably giddy. And possibly need to put on more garments.
