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

Timelies all!

Windsparrow, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing, isn't it? Show emotions, and get branded "hysterical". Don't show emotions, and get called "ice queen" or "robotic.

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.

And somehow Facebook is suddenly the place to be for dry, dispassionate discourse? Really?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Hey, there's people getting a tour of my house! Let's hope they want to buy it. (Probably unlikely with the first showing, but who knows?)

I'm still shaking my head over the fact that suddenly, we're outraged about Trump. I know it's exactly what the internet is saying -- it's an issue now because it's a threat to affluent white women. Anything he said about any other race or religion, anything about specific women that it's "okay" to hate, any insult about President Obama, they loved because he was not afraid to say what everyone was thinking.

Suddenly, we discover that he behaves like an entitled asshole with white women as well? Shock! Dismay! How dare you, sir!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tim's cousin posted a thing today about how Catholics MUST vote for Trump because abortion. That's it. She and her husband have TEN kids, and they apparently think Trump is an acceptable role model for them, because abortion. Like Trump actually gives a shit about abortion.

(I don't respond to her posts, because there's no point. She clearly has accepted that every vile thing Trump has done, said, or stands for is a totally fair tradeoff because he regurgitates the party line on abortion.)

I am sort of glad to be out of the country and only seeing news when I choose to.

Also why I love Krakow: Two glasses of wine, an appetizer, main dish, coffee and dessert at a nice restaurant on the square, and the bill is under $40.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

start watching shows or take a nap? Naps rarely work out well for me, but I am really tired. Maybe I will set an alarm and see how I feel in an hour.

So I can fit an IKEA queen bed frame into a mazda2. I'm kinda amazed.

Next up is figuring how to get the old full mattress set into the basement. I think yhats going to have to go out the front door and around the block. Certainly can't fit down the basement stairs inside.

Later.

Yes, I think it's everything, msbelle. I'm sorry.
