RIP Leonard Cohen
Dammit, 2016.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!

Well, shit. I was listening to his latest when I read the news. What an awful year.

I'm still marinating in my words. Doesn't help that work is so crazy (clusterfuck this morning, then a fascinating hour interviewing a job applicant I think is a Mary sue in the best way ever, like tv show of her life and she was downplaying it, then 5 hours in a meeting with isilon contractors that seriously bent my brain with info while simultaneously discovering another clusterfuck and figuring out how to resolve it. Tomorrow. And meeting, kinda, out new data science mission head) that I emerge feeling hungovermaybestilldrunk from it.
Which is a blessing in some ways. But my decompress swim is this mad jumble and I can't get a thread or cohere an idea and, boy that makes me consistently fast and no less riding the anxiety train and I can't figure out what to do next and can't execute.
So I think I need more time. Or alcohol.
And my dad is genuinely depressed cause of the election, and that worries me.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I really need to build that wall around Sondheim.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
WikiPedia has a list of the names of the 2016 electors for every state. I'm considering writing a letter to every one of them begging them to elect Clinton because she won the popular vote, and they know Trump's a lunatic.

I really need to build that wall around Sondheim.
And make Broadway pay for it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm having a hard time concentrating. I can do OK at work, I focus on putting one foot in front of the other; I focus on the fact that I am there to serve others. That gets me through. Please believe that I love you and care about you. But I can't seem to concentrate on reading and remembering....I'm sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think the Northern California site is wonky. The main ACLU site let me donate successfully.
Here's hoping they are getting too many donations for their system to handle!
At the Art Wine and Chocolate Fair, there was a booth for a local gym that teaches a sort of mixed martial arts and their big focus is on kids, kids who are bullied and kids who do the bullying, trying to reach both and teach them how to wield their power for good. They also offer free self-defense classes for women. I should get in touch with them, take a class, see what else i can do to support their work.
Leonard Cohen is more than I can process right now.
