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

Congrats on finding a house with no pool!

I think so, Jesse, but my judgment is not above reproach.

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

Wish me luck on my phone interview at 11:330 today. It's at a nonprofit which does education and support of kids with autism and LDs. I think it would be perfect until next year when/if we move.

Our wings are not tired.

Interview~ma for Scrappy!

Things you like to hear from your student dentist - "oh, you have excellent hygiene".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good look on interviews, house offers and mom health, all!

Now to the important news: Brangelina is no more.

Interview~ma, Scrappy! That sounds excellent.

I am shocked at the Brangelina news. Not as much, I am surprised to note, as some other celebrity splits, but genuinely taken aback.

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

Did This Missouri Democrat Just Make the Best Campaign Ad of the 2016 Election?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, good luck, Scrappy!

I am also kind of shocked at the Brangelina situation. And because I saw a thing that referred to parenting disputes, I really hope it's not about Brad's response to John (fka Shiloh)?

Ugh, I love a tough Democrat!

Stupid work, getting in the way of my celebrity gossip and political links.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm depressed and apprehensive to the point of nausea about the election, and I'm watching a bootleg of Assassins on YouTube. This was maybe not the best choice.
