I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Oh, mac. Are you sure you want to be a teenager? Much drama for everybody and not a lot of fun. Give your mom a break, okay?

Jesse, try one of the arthritis creams. I swear I believe they're so much moonshine, and it's probably just the little bit of capsasin to heat and the massage to relax, but a minute or so massaging the toe can make walking *so much easier.* The last time I used it the effects lasted a day and a half. So, better than OTC pain pills. The one I use is "Arthritic cream rub" by Kroger and has 10% trolamine salicylate--polysyllabic, so you know it has to be pretty good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The last time I used it the effects lasted a day and a half.

Thank you! I will give that a shot.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Haven't spoken to my family since the previous weekend. Mum sent me an email tonight that she'd canceled the credit card I had because it had gone missing and would mail me the new one ASAP. First: heart attack that I really was being cut off financially, then relief that I actually wasn't , then JFC Christopher, really? You piece of shit.

I had a dream that she called and we talked like nothing happened, then she said things that made me feel not guilty, and I said I wouldn't stay long for thanksgiving, and it was all very nonjudgmental. I don't usually have wish-fulfillment dreams.

My dad swears by the capsacin cream. Mom too, but since it is her hands, usage is problematic (she has to wear gloves until she's ready to wash it off.

msbelle, clearly you are a horror of a mother.... I mean, pancakes for dinner? What torture.

No early voting for me tonight. Thanks, Obama!

I figured that had to be why northbound Lake Shore Drive was shut down. I decided to walk home from work today before I saw all the police barriers and the helicopters and a huge turboprop aircraft over Lake Michigan. Not having any traffic on LSD for a few miles while I was walking the lakefront path was really weird. Now I'm glad I made that choice and got exercise rather than spending it sitting on a bus in traffic.

OMG, Donal Logue yelling, "WHAT'S ALTRUISM?!" on Gotham is the best.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Northbound and southbound from Fullerton to 33rd. At rush hour. I actually do wonder how much impact that had on early voting numbers.
