We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Y'all, I'm surrounded by Bawlmer seniors heading to Vegas that I swear to god are a living breathing parody straight out of Hairspray or similar Waters oevre. I just can't.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to decide between painkillers and booze.

I'd go with painkillers plus ice.

I iced it as soon as I got back, and took ibuprofen and tylenol. I may add 1/2 of a squirreled-away percocet on top of that, because it hurts around my ankle like a cuff, and then across the top of my foot. Dang it.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Person on FB just referred to the way some people think Christians are "enfilades".

I...assume that means infidels?

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

My mind went to empenadas. Which, TBH, is a place my mind likes to go anyway.

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

"A suite of rooms formally aligned with one another", apparently. I'm picturing a shotgun double, although the examples given include baroque palaces. Can't figure out how to apply it to Christians.

Also a military tactic, but I am even less confident I am picturing that correctly. Although maybe easier to apply to how some people think of Christians?

Still at work for the foreseeable future. We have ordered sandwiches and expensed them, and I have taken out my headphones and am listening to Hamilton out loud.

I'm feeling like I need to DO something to help refugees, because I'm just appalled at a lot of the rhetoric going around. I mean, I've signed some petitions and stuff. I looked into volunteering, and HIAS has programs in Columbus and Cleveland, but nothing in Cincinnati. Catholic Charities does have a refugee program in Cincinnati, and it says they're looking for volunteers for technical and clerical work, and for teaching ESL and citizenship classes, all of which are skill sets I have, so I'll look into them some more. (They also want people who can move and deliver things, which is not a skill set I have.) I think I'll go to synagogue tomorrow -- the rabbi gave a sermon on Yom Kippur about Black Lives Matter, and about how saying the words isn't enough if you don't have action to back it up, so she seems like someone I could talk to and find out what I can do.
