Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In other, non-otter news, it's shrift's birthday today!

Our wings are not tired.

I do hope that shrift is having a wonderful birthday. It is my niece's birthday too. She is super fun and smart, so a good day for awesome women to be born.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow Consuela, that sounds awesome!

I am less clear on what to make of the Bannon-Trump bullshit, or this excerpt from Wolff's book. Droll satirical tone aside, it's depressing as fuck to contemplate.

And yes, happy birthday shrift! Much happier to contemplate

Happy Birthday shrift!

I just got back from Ouise's memorial which was lovely, and jammed packed with those who loved her. It was filed with lots of love for Louise and music, which she also loved. Afterwards Elena, her DH and I went for a drink to remember Louise.

Happy Birthday, shrift!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday shrift!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got back from Ouise's memorial which was lovely, and jammed packed with those who loved her. It was filed with lots of love for Louise and music, which she also loved. Afterwards Elena, her DH and I went for a drink to remember Louise.

That all sounds just right.

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

Oh, that's good to read, Sue.
