I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's awesome, brenda.
Y'all would never hire me (scared off).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
This is the second time today I've been in the bathroom with a woman who didn't wash her hands. I guess it might have been the same woman both times.

As I was going down the stairs, I saw someone who wasn't there. They weren't there again today. I hope that someone stays away.

I love the French Republican month names: Vendémiaire (from Latin vindemia, "grape harvest"), starting 22, 23, or 24 September; Brumaire (from French brume, "fog"), starting 22, 23, or 24 October; Frimaire (From French frimas, "frost"), starting 21, 22, or 23 November; Nivôse (from Latin nivosus, "snowy"), starting 21, 22, or 23 December; Pluviôse (from Latin pluvius, "rainy"), starting 20, 21, or 22 January; Ventôse (from Latin ventosus, "windy"), starting 19, 20, or 21 February; Germinal (from Latin germen, "germination"), starting 20 or 21 March; Floréal (from Latin flos, "flower"), starting 20 or 21 April; Prairial (from French prairie, "pasture"), starting 20 or 21 May; Messidor (from Latin messis, "harvest"), starting 19 or 20 June; Thermidor (or Fervidor) (from Greek thermon, "summer heat"), starting 19 or 20 July; Fructidor (from Latin fructus, "fruit"), starting 18 or 19 August.
These are the source of titles of some important historical works including Zola's Germinal and Marx' Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Also they are pretty.

Ah, yes, that's why Germinal sounded familiar, it's the one Zola I've read. I did not know it was a month, though. We probably talked about that at some point, but there was an awful lot to discuss and that was almost 20 years ago, amazing I remember anything.

I remember it from the dates on the letters Napoleon sent Josephine. Good lord, those letters.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to comment on other stuff, but this made me laugh too hard to remember!
