Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jesse, FWIW, my dentist said I'd have to have a tooth pulled to get my teeth straight. The Invisalign orthodontist said, pfft, no problem. All my teeth remain in my jaws and they are straight now. I was absolutely opposed to pulling healthy teeth. So if you haven't seen a dedicated Invisalign orthodontist yet, I'd suggest doing that before you make up your mind.

tommy, nobody in our old-fashioned town came to my mom's funeral in black, not even us. I think you're fine in a dark jacket.

I had never heard of Party Girl. I knew of Funny Girl, but I've never seen it. Princess Bride forms a certain amount of my vocabulary.

Our wings are not tired.

Also, I think if you have a nicer pair of trousers, you could get away with just buying a dark blazer to put over a dress shirt and tie.

Absolutely. I wouldn't get something you wouldn't wear again. I went shopping for something to wear for my dad's funeral and ended up with a yellow and gray dress. He would have liked it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, she said they would be straight and all there, just not directly on top of each other. And I have to decide today if I'm putting a crapload of money into my FSA, hence all of the dithering. Without a timeline, I just wait until the decision pops into my head, which it usually does, eventually.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I have to stop watching/reading stuff about Michael Brown.

But I'll make this observation: I think Chief Wiggum is more competent than Ferguson's police chief.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Tommyrot.

Yeah, my twitter feed is full of angry skepticism.

I am going to pack, and then spend 3 hours driving, during which I will listen to podcasts about ancient history, which is less depressing than current events.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Agreed, Teppy. Wiggum looks like Commissioner Gordon by comparison.

It's just...5 days, and suddenly they pull a rabbit out of their hat and say he was a suspect in a robbery? (In different shoes, according to the photos from the convenience store.) Seriously, 1: why couldn't they have said this right away [not that shooting an unarmed suspect is how you deal with shoplifting], and 2: after 5 days, that was the best story they could come up with?

The robbery story is so clearly total bullshit, it's not even funny.

After 5 days, the *best* cover they could come up with was something that makes the let's-build-a-wall-to-keep-out-kaiju plan in Pacific Rim look smart.
