Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I think that if I saw any alligators even if there *weren't* any flooding, I wouldn't mess with them. Just to be sure.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Presumably that's the sensible course, but this is Texas. (Also, the alligators may be in unexpected places, like streets.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

This made me laugh SO HARD.

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

Too bad "don't mess with alligators" doesn't rhyme

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

Timelies all!

The power went out here at some point last night, and was out for long enough to mess up my alarm clock, so I overslept. I should have realized something was wrong when I looked at my clock the first time Nova woke me up, it read 3:00, but the sun was out. Instead I went back to sleep. Ugh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, I just remembered the flash flood warning that made my phone go nuts after 11 last night. WTF.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Filling out a job application, I almost accidentally put my major as "Liveral Arts". Which would be awesome if I were applying for a job with Hannibal Lecter.

Puke in the pool? EW.

I gave up and went home with my work computer. So now I'm working and waiting for a period break in this Blackhawks game to make dinner. And the Blackhawks game is super not relaxing because if they lose tonight, they're out of the playoffs.

High of 52 today.

Man, we got out in the nick of time!

Hey, speaking of recent Jeopardy champions, here's a great thing about the UCSB shooter from Arthur Chu

That was awesome.

The news is warning that if you see any alligators around thanks to the flooding, not to mess with them. Or snakes.

That seems about right.

We don't open till 8. We make the appointments for 7:45 because no one shows up on time. I don't know if the doctor will be here right at 8.

Wait, are you in New Orleans? That seems more New Orleans-esque than Utah.
