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.

Our wings are not tired.

The NYT prediction page helps to calm me down when I get those feelings. [link]

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

I still feel like it's only September, it's too early to let the election affect my mood. I tend to ostrich, though.

OK, this email asking questions I don't know the answer to also went to the two people who I would go ask if I had to come up with the answers, so I can just say nothing and wait for them to respond, right?

Yeah, but that's not what Five-Thirty Eight says.

Well, I don't go look to see what they say, is how I deal with that.

I like the NYT's one since it shows the other ones too. I tend to check them all because I am apparently obsessed.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The NYT prediction page helps to calm me down when I get those feelings.

Yes, Princeton is a good one too!

Well, it is too late to take a vote, so I'll let you know later how the pumpkin pie spice worked out with my roasted cauliflower and asparagus. I used it sparingly for a first try.

Okay, those are kind of reassuring.

That sounds yum, Laura!

We have a "Hawaiian-themed Tailgate" on Thursday and the dress code is: "Hawaiian clothing including walking shorts are encouraged. " I am tempted to wear a muumuu, because when else will I get to wear a muumuu to work? But I've also got a cute Patagonia Aloha dress. So I am torn.
