I just went to see Brian Stokes Mitchell perform. That was incredible. I was sitting in the third row, so I could see all his facial expressions clearly, and it was just him and a piano player, and it was fabulous, and now I don't want to have to come back to the real world.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh msbelle, I totally feel your pain on the homework front. Franny did manage to salvage her grades for this first trimester, but So. Much. Work. For both of us. I do not have time to retake middle school!
I have a student who is driving me crazy. I can't even go into detail here about it, as I will just go crazier. But suffice to say, demanding, lazy, grade-grubbing student is crazy making!

Yeah, that's different from NC, where the ads against the Democrat boil down to, "You know she agreed with Obama once, right?"
Ah, that would be the New Hampshire senatorial race. I really want a stake through Scott Brown's career the way I want one through Mitt Romney's.
Or, you know, just ASCEND ALREADY!?!?!?!?!?!!!!

Dinner was had here [link]
It's very good. And was just barely warm enough to sit outside wearing a light coat or sweater.

Thrive to spite them
Most of the political ads I've seen are either for NY or NH races. The only one I remember for Vermont is the Shumlin pushed for GMO labeling.
The Dems in NH have been running "too extreme for the Tea Party" ads about Marilinda Garcia. From what I can tell she's against abortion, wants doctors to go to jail for performing abortions, wants to abolish the Dept of Education, voted against the Violence against Women act and something else.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
In IL it's all about painting the other candidate as the most corrupt. Rauner blames Quinn for 100 years of corruption and Oberweis tries to conflate Dick Durbin with Nixon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In Brooklyn all the political ads are over and done with because the real battle is over the Democratic primary. *holds liberal bubble tight and never lets go*

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Most of the ads I see (although I try very hard to ignore political ads, so my perceptions may be way off) are for or against propositions rather than candidates. California.
