ION, is it weird that I think I'd rather come into the office on Monday than bring my computer and stuff home and work there?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I don't think so. I find working from home more onerous than coming into the office, usually. Home is where I don't work!

That's what I decided. Especially because then I'll spend Sunday thinking I should just get it over with, etc., when instead I can just plan to go at X time on Monday. Done!

I keep forgetting Monday is a holiday for some people. I'm not a fan of Columbus, but I could sure use a holiday in October.

I went out to run some errands, and being as it's a Who Gives a Damn day, I wore my black leather newsboy cap with a black t-shirt with a wolf on it. I went to Red Robin for lunch, and my waitress was hipper than usual, with a discreet piercing and a bandana around her head. I'm not sure what particular vibe I was giving off, but after I gave her my usual order, which didn't require checking the menu, she grinned at me and said, "I like your style." I don't think anyone's ever said that to me before.

That's cool, Connie.
OMG I have so much TV to watch! I don't know where to start.

In DVD news, did anyone else know that Jonathan Pryce played Sherlock Holmes in a movie from 2007 called I Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars ? I got a DVD catalog today with that in it, and I'm tempted. $10 with shipping.

Word. It's really great timing, halfway between summer and Thanksgiving.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have survived midterms week. Now I really want to sleep all weekend, but I actually have to spend all weekend cleaning my apartment, which is kind of approaching disaster zone levels of clutter.

Mom update: She's still staying with me and doing a LOT better.
She is planning on going back to my stepfather after the weekend, which I have very mixed feelings about. That said, I think the rest/recuperation she's had is giving her the space to figure out how to handle the situation. I just hate the idea of her going back into something that can be so unpleasant for her.
Strix, I'll definitely be reaching out to you about those resources once I've had a chance to recover my own faculties a bit more. I've spent the past several days feeling like I've had iron bands around my chest, and I've barely been able to eat.
