Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Here is the obituary for my dad's best friend. I will be coming out for the celebration of life next week.

One of my favorite memories of him was backpacking with my dad, Sandy, and his son (who is about my age) into Yosemite and camping out. We were sitting around the fire cooking dinner when I looked past Sandy and saw a bear. I said "a bear" very calmly and no one reacted, then I was a bit more emphatic and they turned and looked. The bear was maybe 10 ft behind them. The son and I got sent to sit on a rock in the river (cause bears would avoid the river???) while they banged pots and pans to scare the bear away.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Last load of laundry (towels, natch) in the washer.

Do I have breakfast and lunch for tomorrow? No I do not. Oops. Oh well, I have credit cards.

I'll decide tomorrow whether I'll try to make tomorrow's showing or not, I guess. It might be more convenient than Wednesday? Hard to say.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just saw Frankenstein with JLM as creature version last week. Two years after I saw the other version. Contrary to popular opinion, I enjoyed this version more.

I didn't see both versions, so I'm not qualified to compare them, but the version I saw was JLM as the creature, and he was astonishing. Absolutely loved him.

I saw Dear White People as a breakfast movie this morning ($6.50 before noon). Though the Oprah CHAISPIRACY continues--once again I bought an Oprah Chai, and then after I waited for them to make it for like, 10 minutes, they suddenly were all "oh, we uh...don't....have a pump for that. Sorry." What???

Then I went to a friend's pumpkin-carving party. Now my roommate has something that smells good in the crockpot...and she is apparently in the ER with a foot injury from football.

What did you do to Oprah that she would deny you her chai, meara!?!

I suspect that Oprah chai doesn't even exist.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It does exist and it is delicious!

Jesse, are you part of the Oprahspiracy?

YES I AM I mean, NO I'M NOT.

Jesse is totally part of the Oprahspiracy.

I suspect that Oprah chai doesn't even exist.

It DOES and it is DELICIOUS. Which is why DENYING ME MY CHAI is so MEAN. Especially when they get my hopes up by first taking my order and my money, and then waiting ten minutes before saying NOOOOO. For weird bullshit reasons like "we don't have a pump for that" What???
