"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I survived, but it was ugly.

The plane hit at a busy and perpetually backed up intersection, but amazingly no one on the ground was hurt. It reportedly clipped a semi and debris damaged some cars. Whether by chance or design, the plane apparently hit the wall between the east- and westbound lanes. It immediately burst into flames, and very little was left of the plane. I heard a woman being interviewed who said the man in front of her blocked an emergency lane and got out of his car to take pictures with his phone.

Connie, I'll be having a transfusion roughly every other week until that glorious day when I start making red blood cells, whenever that may be. I can't possibly express how weary I am of this.

Always Anti-fascist!

I wish I had a root and some freedom.

I am now looking for travel deals for Ireland, because I think I need to go to there before I make the decision to move there.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I also would move to Dublin for a couple years if I had the chance. But yes, mayhaps you should check it for yourself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's a good call. I'm not sure if my coworker's husband spent any time in Istanbul before he got his new job there, but I know she hasn't! So she's going next week, but still.

So I'm not sure how much The Internet/NSA follows me around, but I just got an ad for Dublin on another site: [link]

I got plane tickets booked for a summer thing this morning (somebody else booked them) and I got the confirmation email from the airline in Gmail. So I popped up my calendar to enter the times and they were already there. Gmail read my email and put them on the calender. Which was sort of both nice and creepy.

Dear NSA,

Um, if they don't do it that means I have to. No thanks. Carry on, NSA!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My car's been complaining about needing an oil change and a new key fob battery, so I'm getting that done now before driving to Madison. It's nice not having to keep track of this stuff myself.
