There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And don't take it as a vacation day!

Already processed as such due to our timekeeping system, but the next two days I take off are not going on the books.

Looks like Trump is making a comeback. I wonder if it's because Hillary coughed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Got the stuff out of my old, soon-to-be-ex, car. For some reason, I thought I kept my car's title in the glovebox, and had a bit of panic when it wasn't there. (It was in my desk drawer at home)

I thought the taco truck comment would be good for her numbers, but they've been dropping, and it unsettles me.

Our wings are not tired.

Still looking at all the experts, including Vegas odds, it looks very good for Clinton. When I hear the media talking about the neck and neck race I flee to the pollsters.

More ~ma for the Mom would be good. Back in the hospital with pneumonia again. I think medically they will fix her up again, but I don't want her to get too discouraged and just give up. Life is not a whole lot of fun for her lately. The whole not being able to breathe, or eat without choking, or walk without fear of falling thing is getting real old for her. And I want her to see a woman president! She will find development a delight.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What I saw the other day was that Clinton's numbers went down but Trump's didn't go up.

Quite a lot of people that study this stuff seem to think his ceiling is pretty fixed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I definitely wanted to work until 8:30PM the day after a long weekend, when I've been back home for roughly 24 hours.

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.

Good luck, sue!

I'm feeling a little out of it. Well, more than a little. My old college roommate (or possibly her husband, they have a joint Facebook acct.) replied to where I shared the Paul Krugman NYT piece about reporters raising questions about the Clinton Foundation possibly being used for quid pro quo, and none of them accepting that the answer to those questions is no. Roomie replied to the effect of "depends on the meaning of no". When we were in school together she was a history/poli-sci major. We used to have epic arguments (the fun kind) on every thing under the sun; we have yet to put to bed the debate on whether Basil Rathbone or Jeremy Brett was the better Sherlock Holmes. My instincts say Do Not Engage. I just do not have the energy. But part of me wants to reply simply "cit. needed".

I'm so resentful of this 9:00pm meeting I have tonight especially since I need to get up at 5:30am tomorrow morning to make another meeting.
