Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been sickish but not actually sick for a week now and am so tired of it. Definitely not flu and not strep, just some miscellaneous cold that's playing havoc with the asthma and making me a drippy, coughing, decongestant-fogged idiot at work. BLARG.

I almost hate to say this, but could it be allergies? Hate to say it because at least a cold will go away...

I was going to complain that it was early, but JZ's got it way worse.

Same!

My poor stupid cat woke me up at like 3:30 by puking straight on my bed, so that was fun. I guess I should call the vet and see what new kind of $$$ food she wants me to try. And cross my fingers that there's a way to buy a small portion of it. My cupboard is already full!

hip deep in pie

What with the young-blood infusions, I'm not quite willing to rule out Buffier possibilities. There's even a neighborhood here in San Francisco, where (alas) he lives, called Sunnydale.

It definitely a situation that calls for Buffy.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Allergies are definitely part of it. My sinuses hate pretty much every plant and animal on the planet, and wage war against them all by swelling up into a solid impenetrable mass that effectively turns all my facial cavities into concrete. Throbbing concrete.

But I'm (spoilerfont for grossness) hacking up multicolored globs, so there's some kind of actual bug in the mix too.

Good times!

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

Ugh, JZ. Feel better.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Speaking of weird and unsavory, if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.

Yeah, that's not disturbing at all.

JZ, I hope you feel better soon.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

JZ, does a neti pot help? I know it's not a magic cure-all, but adding it to the mix might help.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

if there's one thing that really excites Thiel, it's the prospect of having younger people's blood transfused into his own veins.

Studies indicate that it works, but they don't know why it works yet. I'll holding off a while before I start farming young people, but the clock's ticking.

One red bodysuit and a silly name away from supervillian.

FFS, I cannot attend your goddamned meeting if you don't send me a goddamned password. I am not driving over there with 5 minutes notice.
