Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I mean, that lines up with the "dehydration" the other day, but FUCK.

Oh yeah, this all doesn't sound good. I mean, it's already not good, but I hate this stuff.

So all this Prince outpouring stuff is just bringing to the fore that we, as a family, haven't been able to properly mourn my uncle or really unpack any of it, tied up in my aunt's recovery. And I'm finding myself resenting everything (except my family) for that. It just is what is.

And I realized I never installed the OS X upgrade back in October, and there's an update, so I have to download the whole damn package again.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Oooops: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Liese, wow, that's a huge transition. Sounds like you both know it's time. I hope it's a relatively smooth and easy move into the rest of your wonderful lives!

Prince, I'm just gonna keep believing it was pneumonia.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Liese, I hope the changes and move go smoothly.

Bowie was a bigger part of my history than Prince, but Prince was still pretty big. I'm sad he's gone, whatever the reason.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Liese, that is huge! And exciting! I'm glad you and the SO have made a decision that feels right for you. And potentially moving to Nashville!! Although we have humidity like whoa.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Love to you, Liese.

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

Oh, wow, Liese. It sounds like you two are doing a lot to make it a smooth transition for yourselves and other people, and that's great. And mailing labels causing a meltdown is, yeah, I can see that. Hugs and love, my friend.

I hope Lee is going to get her VW bought back.

From what I heard on the radio driving home from the grocery store, that's the general deal (plus some money for the trouble) so I hope that gets settled soon!

and now it is being reported it was drug related.

I feel super confident that that is speculation and, frankly, discount it entirely. Well, not entirely, pneumonia is rarely the whole story, but I'm not gonna know the whole story and this particular piece does not add much of importance to my understanding.

I'm sorry, sarameg. That makes sense and it sucks for all of you.

Punishingly Intricate

That's exciting and scary, Liese. And exciting!!!

I'm sorry, sarameg, that must be really hard.
