I'm sad about Leonard Nimoy. It does appear that he had a very full life. I'm glad to did get the opportunity to meet him on two, very brief, occasions.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

I had a really shitty afternoon. I regret leaving my other school and want to go back. I hate people.
Too bad I have to go deal with boy scout stuff instead.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The dress is blue when it's in my peripheral vision. White when I'm looking at it directly. And taking over my brain, because I can't stop finding new angles to look at it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm sorry, Kat.

I'm sorry for everyone who had a crappy day.
I finally did some onerous stuff: managed some banking stuff for dad, emailed three contractors about getting bids for my kitchen, and clipped the dog's nails. I fear this might be the last time I clip her nails: she's losing her mobility really fast. And yet she's still happy to eat her dinner and go for walks and be snuggled.

Okay, I showed everyone in my family the blue dress, and they all saw it as white and gold. I GAVE BIRTH to two of these wrong people. And now they're all angry at me because they say I am too proud of myself for being right.
Okay, Casper attests that she saw pale blue and gold, and is thus less wrong than the others.

Does anyone have any suggestions beyond heating pad on belly?
Do you have any fennel seed in the house? I find that chewing on fennel seed helps. My IBS has been behaving badly too, and that's about the only thing that eases it a little.

Kat, I'm hoping it's just coming out of the honeymoon phase, not something more fundamental.
I've got a pimple on my eyelid. I guess that's called a sty, since it isn't a true pimple. It's not amusing me.

I'm not sure. I'll go scavenge in the kitchen.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
My two favorite comments on the llama and dress weirdness of yesterday's internet, both pulled from Twitter:
Biden: WOOO FREE INTERNET
Obama: Joe, would you cut it-
Biden: SET LOOSE THE LLAMAS
Obama: CAN YOU JUST-
Biden: RELEASE NANA'S TRICK DRESS
And also:
"...and that kids, is how February 26th became National Internet Day, and why we decorate llamas in white and gold"
To which someone immediately responded:
"Yeah, but dad... Some of the kids in my class decorate their llamas in blue and black."
