It still makes me very angry to have to check a "single" box on any form. It is not how I think of myself.
This. So very much this.
What makes me sad is having to check the box marked "widow/widower." Just keep rubbing it in.

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

That picture of Leonard Nimoy ... he looks kind of weird without the pointy ears.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I enjoy that, in a dark way. People look at it and flinch, and I like seeing people be disturbed by contemplating how it feels.

From what publicly available info I've seen, Nimoy seemed to have a good, long life. I'm glad he shared his Spock with us. May he rest in peace or move on to an even groovier stage in the universal cycle.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
OK, have applied coffee, tea, Flonase, Nasalcrom, Claritin, Aleve, miso soup, shirred eggs, and chocolate covered espresso beans and have gotten the headache I woke up with to recede. Time to get this day underway.

I'm still in Puerto Vallarta, but everyone else has left and I'm just killing a last half hour (and one more beer) before heading to the airport. It was a great week and I'm not really looking forward to going back to work on Monday--glad I have the weekend at home to prepare. Also not looking forward to going back on my diet, but definitely feeling like its a good idea to do so.

I always think of Conan the Barbarian when I see the word Nasalcrom or any cold remedy using the syllable crom. Perhaps it comes from Conan invoking Crom when he has a cold.

Even with the slider, I still see the light color as periwinkle or ice blue.
Once, when I shared an office a couple hours a week with a man who spoke on the phone, very loudly in SPanish, I crawled under the desk and plugged my ears so I could answer the phone and talk to customers without being distracted.
