Tell him to put down the duckie, Sheryl.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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

Ugh, the way people have been piling on more work while simultaneously delaying getting me what I need to *do* it in the lead-up to leaving on vacation, I'm torn between making a pinhole viewer for the eclipse or a black sword I can wave around while shouting "BLOOD AND SOULS FOR MY LORD ARIOCH!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I vote for the latter, Matt. Way more interesting. And memorable!*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If I have enough marker to make a sign for counter-protesting tomorrow, what should it say?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
It sounds like the KKK was a no-show, and the counterprotesters had a dance party instead.
Because Durham! I love this region.

That would be a good one! But more elaborate than I can now deal with. I'm thinking just "RESIST."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, that video was delightful! So many celeb guests!

Just had a lovely visit with FauxSon and his daughter, who sat and nearly resisted the urge to roll her eyes as her father and faux-grandma gossiped about the people we know. I got lost in who was seeing who and which divorce they were on and how they were managing to live in the same house with an ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend and an ex-I'm-not-sure-they-were-ever-really-married. And the ex-wife and ex-husband are still very good friends and do things together.
Oh, and a guy who had been a very good friend but who had a major falling-out with Hubby (and where he goes, so goes my nation) is also diabetic but he'd been utterly ignoring it and he lost part of his leg because it was his leg or his life.
I don't understand people who seem to thrive on drama (or not thrive).
FauxSon reminded me yet again to stay in touch so he doesn't have to keep track of me on Facebook to make sure I'm still alive.
