It's a real burden being right so often.

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

It's so tiring. I always feel like I'm running interference for my mom at those things.

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

Why are there fireworks, neighbors? Is this a custom I am unfamiliar with?

Seems to have stopped. Maybe someone just found a Roman Candle lying around and set it off because it was there...

Maybe the Antifa revolution finally started.

Hello there, first-cousin-once-removed-of-Jesse, my name is Tom, and I will be Jesse's designated hugger for the evening. Jesse sincerely accepts your condolences."

Lol, sounds like many people could use a Tom scola at times!

Japan continues to be pretty freaking cool (see photos on my Facebook and Instagram). Tomorrow we head to Kyoto. Will try not to go crazy on my traveling companion though she was makin me a bit nuts today. Reminding myself that if we want we can go totally different places and spend all day apart, in Kyoto. (The next two places on the itinerary not so much, as we have Plans, but Kyoto I could avoid her for three days if desired!)

I'm already feeling anxious about coming home and having to deal with work, though :(

Ugh, got waked up at a quarter to 4 by the building fire alarm going off. The one none of us can shut down—the tenants and the fire dept. had to wait on my landlord to show up with a key to the alarm system. At least we know it does work in the event of an actual fire, I guess.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

At least it was on extra-hour-of-sleep day?

Which brought my grand total up to three. It started going off again about 20 minutes later, at which point I got up for real.

Our wings are not tired.

I love my extra hour day dearly, but would be fine with losing it if it meant no more silly DST.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Toddlers do not understand DST. No extra hour here.
