Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
My father-in-law is on the phone, telling us we are nuts for having given the IRS our banking information, in order to pay our tax bill (which was pretty low this year, woot). Because they lose things and get hacked.
Well, he's not wrong. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
Between Target, Anthem, and the OPM, we've already got our personal information spread out to god knows where. And if you send the IRS a check, isn't your routing number and account number already included?
Most things in my life are not sparking joy. I think that's an excessively high bar. If we are doing joy as a criteria, the only thing I might have left is my pillow and new mattress, my letter from the President, and some tights. I'm not sure I'd survive my own joy criteria.
My wife just told me that she thinks what I really want is just to live by myself and just work and write.
Well, wanting to write and getting it done are two separate things. That seems like a pretty passive aggressive comment. How did you respond?
Somedays, I just want to run away and join the circus, or go live in a hotel for a month, or barricade my door and spend the rest of my life streaming Netflix. It doesn't mean I do it, and it doesn't mean I should be criticized for these occasional thoughts.
I like sparking joy as a criteria but I think I am more easily sparked than most people. Or have a low bar for what constitutes joy. Something.
Most things in my life are not sparking joy. I think that's an excessively high bar.
Agreed. In fact, I'd say you have a surprisingly long list of joyful items. Let's see I got: vanilla oolong tea and... uh... stretch class and Tai Chi. Do those last two count or does it need to be an object?
Most of the stuff currently in my life sparks joy. Working Sunday will be an exception to that, however.
I stopped by the office tonight to feed the office cat and close her up in a room where she won't set off the motion detectors. She jumped up on a box my co-worker covered with a carpet sample for her, rolled around, and fell off the side into her water dish. Aren't cats supposed to be graceful?
