Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The right ankle's sprained pretty good, but not so much that I can't function. I've got the ice pack here at work and an ankle brace on.

Naturally, I have rehearsal from 5:30 to 10 tonight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Not working in an office during the RNC means I have no one to vent with face to face. I have resorted to -- for real -- telling Kato to bite Trump's butt and whispering to the sleeping kitty that Trump is not a friend to the cats.

And so far, neither of the pets has risen up to defeat Trump. Slackers.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Neither have ours. Shocking.

None of my three dogs have either. I think the beagle might even be pro-Trump. He's a total narcissist too.

Beagles are sketchy politically.

Just had a kid hiding in my office during a game of hide and seek. I didn't give her away.

I'm not quite sure what I did wrong this week, but I take it back, I swear. My parents (thankfully) emailed from Munich to say they were okay.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I can't cope with the U.S.'s insanity infecting other places.
