I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

It's soupy even up here, though not as hot.

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 haz a slight sad. My boss scored free tickets to a $90 a plate fundraiser for our org for a handful of us, we were going to make it a ladies' night out of it. But I can't find anyone to cover my shift, so I'm going to have to pass. On the up-side I won't have to figure out shoes for a dressy outfit.

I'm sorry you'll have to miss it, WindSparrow.

We're on what may be the second from the last 90+F days of the year around here. As I'm working from home today, I don't actually have to leave the house for anything today or, strictly speaking, tomorrow (although I'll probably pop out for an early walk tomorrow morning). I can huddle in my air-conditioned apartment and bid summer a sullen, resentful adieu.

In completely unrelated news, I'm thinking of cable cutting and getting my tv from Netflix and Hulu. But a lot of my viewing is built around home and garden shows, and HGTV doesn't seem to be a big player in streaming. Does anyone have any reasonably legal suggestions on how to have my Rehab Addict and House Hunters International without TW Cable getting a cut?

Punishingly Intricate

It is soupy and gross out. I really want to take a nap but I have so much work to do.

There's been a bunch of HGTV stuff up on Netflix but it seems to be disappearing, which is disappointing to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just as glad to be in freezing cold air-conditioning today, I have to say.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HGTV is on Sling TV.

I tried Sling TV and didn't like it, because it was mostly live streaming, with not a lot of stuff on demand, although HGTV is one of the networks that you can get on demand: [link]

What I really need is OTA plus HGTV and a Law and Order channel.
