Me, too! I just read that.
All the people in my Coursera class seem to have master's degrees already. I'm a little intimidated.

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.

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.
That is about the most gracious statement I could expect from a Pope about homosexuality and actually rather lovely.

I think what I like best about him is that he's matter-of-factly all about compassion and relieving poverty and suffering. After Darth Ratzenberg it's nice to have a pontiff who actually emulates Jesus instead of just using his biography to rationalize prejudice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I like him quite a bit. He seems like he actually follows Jesus for real.
Theo, that sounds like a great family visit!

You know what I am unprepared for today? Being back at work. At least I only have a hundred and some emails to go through? And many of them are just news stories I can skim and delete.

Ugh. So tired. So bored. I ran out of internet before nine!
Also, I stepped in a huge pile of cat puke this morning. Not a great way to start the week.
I have resorted to doing work related research to keep myself from dying. t /melodrama

re: my parents
They like the fiance. And it is really more my mother than anything. Everything is fine as long as no one talks about anything that makes, you know, the GAY, a reality. I think they would prefer if we just all spoke about fiance as a roommate and lalalala. I kinda don't know how I am gonna look at them when I see them next. Get over yourself and be happy for your son.
I kinda view it as my mom have a very long pout that she is not having the life she expected. No wedding of her children when they were young, no bio grand-children - a gay child, a grandchild that is a lot of work. wah wah wah.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Pope is good news for gay priests, bad news for female ones. Ah, well.
Woke up exhausted this morning, and in extra pain. I was going to tell my boss I'd work until noon, but I think the issue is more that I'm not up to starting work right now.

Matt and discount beef. My mind went to a weird place.
