The word "just" is so horrid, ChiKat. That's so hard.

Podcasts: I just started listening to Compulsory - a podcast about people who make stuff. it's about the right length. spilled milk is a shortish & non- serious food podcast I enjoy.
What I've noticed is that often podcasts are shorter at first and then gradually get longer.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
It was horrible. On several levels.

If I only had a brain...
I highly recommend the BBC Friday Night Comedy Podcast, which is British political/news-based comedy. The podcast rotates between two BBC Radio 4 shows: The News Quiz, which fills the same evolutionary role as Wait Wait, hosted by the incomparable Sandi Toksvig; and The Now Show, which is sketch satirical comedy, hosted by Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis. I often gasp at the pointedness of the humor. It helps to know a bit about British current events, but reading the Guardian occasionally should do you; even without that, you should be able to get what's going on.

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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Huh. So "Friends" is the origin of BFF?
Thank you, Netflix. I think.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, Chikat. So hard.
A friend insisted on knowing "what was up with me" this afternoon, and wouldn't accept "I lost a friend." Do I know him? Or her? Is she local? Where do you know her from?
Guys, I had to explain ita. And yes, the board, which is hard but doable. But ita, NSM.
Kat, and helpful others, I was looking at the top of the page here, where the quote is. I see no link or button there. Nor is there one in the sidebar, just Buf links and Buf filk, plus the FAQ, how-to, etiquette, map (which works now, thanks!), about, and admins. Which, you know, I can find the dive, it's just she said button, and there's no button--reportage, not complaint.

I keep remembering ita reporting in along her drive from Michigan to LA. One of the highlight stops was the accursed Precious Moments headquarters and museum. She took pictures and made us look at them of the hideous PM fountain in front of the place! So mean. So ita.

Holy shit, Bev, I was just thinking about the PM visit today. I was trying to find the photos.
