I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think we all deserve a pillow fort today.

Yes please. Or a blanket fort, because that would block out more light.

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

Insurance called this morning, and she's claiming she was injured.

Oh gawd. Sorry Dana--hope it turns out OK.

Yes please. Or a blanket fort, because that would block out more light.

Cushions for walls with blankets for the ceiling. With pillow piles inside.

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

Now I want to watch Pillows and Blankets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

JFC, what is wrong with people. Tom, none of that makes sense (esp re: Father's Day not having happened yet...) and should be ignored if at all possible. The rest of the stuff (Dana, Sue, et al.) should probably not be ignored.

Pillow fort sounds like the right call.

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

So that's just me reading too much into my Mom's call.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It sounds like it wasn't about Father's Day, but I don't think that means you're reading too much into it.

To make things even better, there's a tropical storm forming in the Gulf.

No pillow fort for Tom's Mom.

Eh, regardless of specific reasons, a call from a parent to tear you down is Not Good.

In much less galling parent news, my mom called me twice in quick succession during last night's viewing of Jurassic World, which gave me a moment of panic until I could get out of the theater and use my phone. Turns out Dad interrupted her first call with a MedicAlert test, and she didn't think about what an immediate second call would imply.

Yeah, that. For what it's worth, I now picture your mother as Livia Soprano.

Actually, my grandmother was Livia Soprano. Quite uncannily, actually. She's how my Dad learned how to take out all his anger on me and my sisters. Circle of life, yo.
