this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

For April Fool's, Ravelry has put little hats on everyone's avatars.

See, I like stuff like that -- things that are goofy, but not mean. (I love NPR's fake stories with a fierce and pure love.)

My avatar has a "Viking" horned helmet. It brings me great joy.

That is THE BEST.

See, I like stuff like that -- things that are goofy, but not mean.

Me too. I'm staying away from social media today and carefully curating my online experience to avoid the jackasses. I guess I'll be more productive at work, catch up on my online class, and see if Bed Bath & Beyond has a Sodastream carbonator so I can exchange my empty one.

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

I am, as I so often am, Tep.

ION, my coffee was unusually delicious this morning. Or maybe I haven't had "my" coffee (half decaf Christmas blend, half blond, beans ground by hand, french press with water from the hot spigot of the water cooler) in a while. Anyway, considering a second cup just because it's tasty, not because I really need more caffeine, for once.

You know what's AWESOME when you have a weather-change-and-lack-of-sleep migraine starting? Workmen next door using a sledgehammer to tear out the concrete front steps.

Ha ha, universe.

Sympathies, Steph.

I left my allergy meds at home. Do I drive home and get them before my department meeting, or miss a couple of doses? Hm.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh dear, Steph.

I woke up with dread, because I HATE pranks. But I do like things like little viking helmets on avatars.

I also saw that Joni Mitchell was hospitalized, but I do not know if that is a prank.

Not a prank.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My local news pranked their entertainment reporter, giving him a story about a live action Wonder Twins movie. He did his best to sell it as an awesome idea. Luckily they let him off the hook just after his story and his reaction was fantastic. Relieved, curious, more relief, and laughter that they got him.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

You know what's an underrated pleasure? Walking around barefoot on a chilly morning for a few hours, and then putting on warm socks, right out of the dryer. Mmmmmm.
