Still too damned early.
And I just realized my next hair appt is the same saturday as the marathon, the one day getting south or west of the city is just stupid. And besides, I want to go cheer the runners on. I'm going to have to reschedule….
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, isn't it?
Pumpkin spice lattes are the demon spawn of Starbucks, who concocted the beverage about 11 years ago.

Can you get a pumpkin spice chai latte? And is it like chai squared?
I ought to be able to make a statistics joke out of that.

From the NYT coverage:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday denied review in all five pending same-sex marriage cases, clearing the way for such marriages to proceed in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The move was a major surprise and suggests that the justices are not going to intercede in the wave of decisions in favor of same-sex marriage at least until a federal appeals court upholds a state ban.

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

And is it like chai squared?
Nerd! No, it made me laugh, because many articles that I edit cite the Chi square test. (And it's a testament to how ingrained the style manual is that it made me twitchy to type it as "Chi square," rather than a Greek chi symbol and a superscript 2.)

No matter how awake I am, really not down with being at work before sunrise. Gnergh.
Today is my last day of the cat sitting that requires me to be at another person's house between 6 and 6:30 am and pm. Which is good because I'm so over it.
I worked with a person who went on a Starbucks run and came back with a Pumpkin Spice Latte for me because they didn't "understand" my order. I asked for coffee. Just coffee. I'm thinking that encouraging her to apply for the job in Tucson that she starts today was genius on my part. Because seriously, I asked for coffee. How hard is that?

To be fair, on Saturday I went to Starbucks and ordered coffee, no sugar or cream, and they got it wrong. So it's apparently a confusing order.

I once tried ordering iced coffee from one person at a Starbucks ... and got iced black tea.

There are some very perplexed people in Utah this morning trying to figure out how they can stop this abomination from occurring in their Mormon paradise. And this occurred the Monday after the semi-annual Mormon Conference, where the church hierarchy gives out its marching orders.
