It's horrible. I can't seem to look away. The TV is reporting smoke bombs but twitterer are saying it's tear gas.
I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

For a little cheer at the end of bad week, I offer Steven Brust's bit of flash fiction, which he refers to as 46% of a drabble.

“But why?” she said. “Why? I can see you’re attracted to me, and I’ve been throwing myself at your head. Why won’t you kiss me?”
“You don’t want me, baby,” he said. “I’m bad news. I’ll just hurt you.”
“Oh,” she said. “Good reason. Okay. Bye.”

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Eating lunch in the ExCel Center. Somehow I have ended up eating a variation of a cheese sandwich everyday.

Hilariously, I was in bed and asleep before midnight last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We just swapped out! I now remember why I stopped staying up late -- it's not about staying up, but now I've slept til 10, so will have a hard time going to bed early tonight/waking up early tomorrow/etc.

Day-um. I slept for 9.5 hours last night. Haven't done that in a while. Like, a 35 years while.

When I do oversleep -- which isn't often -- it feels like I get my best quality sleep between 6-8 AM, which is just WRONG.

It was great. But now my sense of time is way off. It feels like 9:30 local time, but really it's nearly 11:30. Luckily I have no time-sensitive tasks today. Just getting in a walk, taking the cat out for a bit, and trying these odd gourd things in a zucchini bread recipe.

My neighbor is very lucky I took a break from vacuuming. I therefore could hear him yelling for me.
He'd accidentally locked himself out on his deck, but the second floor balcony was unlocked, so I could go out on mine and into his house to let him in.
He's now off to Ace to make spare keys for me and Teresa ( neighbor on the other side.)
