I just found a snail on the coffee pot sitting in my sink.
Huh. That's a new one.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Light through a series of tubes? It's like the Internet! :)
The moon has more than once been bright enough to confuse me into thinking neighbors got new lights. But I have two story windows in my bedroom.

Huh. That's a new one.
I assume it hitched a ride on the flowers I bought at the farmer's market on Sunday, but I'm at a loss to explain how it find its way into the sink and onto the coffee pot which I used this morning. Adventure! Excelsior! Keep trucking, tiny snail.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Or pull out the garlic and butter, and preheat the oven....

It is, after all, a San Francisco snail. Needed its caffeine fix.

San Francisco snails have their priorities straight.
I'm in a downstairs apartment, so solar tubes and skylights aren't an option now, but I'm definitely adding solar tubes to my "if I ever get a house" list.
In less fun news, I found out yesterday that a former coworker has been murdered. She was one of my favorite people at my previous job, straightforward and competent in an office notable for a large proportion of . . . otherwise. I'd kinda hoped to keep in touch with her after leaving, maybe build a non-work friendship, but I never got around to making that happen. And now her dickwad ex-boyfriend has killed her in what looks like a murder suicide. I want to punch every man with a trilby* and then retire to a lesbian separatist commune.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, that's so terrible.

I did just google a page that says you could put the tube down through a closet or something, but probably not if you're renting!

Heather, I've said this elsewhere, but I am so sorry. That's so awful.
And it may not be lesbian separatist, be we already kind of live in a group of apartments that's 75% women, and feels commune-esque sometimes? (Though we do like our own spaces a whole lot!)

I always thought the commune part of the deal would be hard on introverts. So from my perspective we have the best of both.
