Jesse, did you end up getting flowers for your mom?
I did, which was nice, especially since my father was not having a good day and she was already crying when I gave them to her.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, man, that must be hard.

Yeah, it's hard because he's so up and down, and she just whipsaws from great to terrible.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Ugh. Cars are a pain. Tim's car is in the shop getting his brake lines repaired, and last night, driving back from his nephew's graduation, MY brakes got REALLY soft and spongy. (We wondered for about 5 seconds if someone tampered with both of our brake systems, and then we remembered we both drive really old cars.) So he walked to work this morning (it's about a mile and a half) and is going to borrow a truck from work so I can get my car up to the repair place and get myself back home. Boo.
We need to get a new car, but aren't really planning on doing that until later in the year. And these repairs aren't going to change the timeline, because I really don't want to rush into buying a car just because of repairs. But it is lousy timing. And it means we are technically car-less today, which is weird.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
And I just learned that it's "Math, Science & Physics Day" at Six Flags on Friday. Not something I'm going to go to, but what a good idea!
My physics class went to that when I was in high school. Lots of fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are there any other of you nice peeps that are going to look through my dA collection? I'm going through and making the two recs print-ready ( [link] and [link] They don't allow the sale of fanart, but I'm cheating. It's not exactly complicated.

Anything here that SFW (I think you have a login which means you can see the naughty stuff) is up for grabs. I think everything's big enough to print--the one msbelle recommended turned out to be massive. Go me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember the "high elf"?
An Exclusive Interview With The Elf Who Dropped Acid and Jousted a Car
“Morgoth got the best of me,” he says from Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Beaverton, Oregon, where he is undergoing psychiatric evaluation after being arrested last week.
A self-described rogue assassin, the 30-year-old Portlander made headlines after he rushed into a busy intersection and began jousting with a woman’s car using a sword. Loaded up with armor and psychedelics, McKane told cops that he was a “high elf engaged in battle with the evil Morgoth.”
“That woman was totally bad-vibing me, and I guess I just took it to the next level,” McKane says in an exclusive interview with Vocativ. “I wasn’t in my right mind. I was still rocking my new pair of elf ears.”
...
The fun ended when McKane found himself face-to-face with a red BMW, which he admits he mistook for a shape-shifting demon. The driver, a northeast Portland woman, had stopped in the middle of the road and was blasting her horn. A fearless McKane sprung into action.
“I hopped on her hood and tried to pierce her tires with my master sword,” he says. “I was trying to prove a point. Don’t mess with a dark elf.”
He says he suffers from hypomania--hopefully he's getting treatment.
Much more at the link. Including a picture of him in his elf gear. I love that he's using a hubcap as his shield.
