Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Here's a charge on the company card I like to see - $1k at Ben and Jerry's for employee desserts.

Was just wondering what was on TV tonight, then went "Oh . . . right. Well, this is why I have Netflix." I think this is my eighth run through of Miss Fisher.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I plan on watching last night's Black Panther red carpet.

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

Timelies all!

Because schools opened two hours late(and the before care was closed), I got to work late enough to have to park in the garage a couple blocks away. Which meant walking in the cold, windy weather. I stopped for a chai latte before going to my desk.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Black Lightning is on the CW opposite the SOTU, and I am happy to direct my ratings to superheroes and away from the lying Cheeto.

Our wings are not tired.

I hadn't planned on watching anything, but I have to watch something just to divert ratings. It has been a rare occasion that I have missed the SOTU, but my health and tv screen will be better off by skipping.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Instead of the president, I'm watching The Resident, and oh my god, the writing on this show is SO BAD. I keep thinking scenes are being staged for another character's benefit, but no. It's just the writing. Still probably better than SotU.

I had a last dinner with the cousins and my aunt and uncle (who just got back to town last night) before heading out on a plane. I'm torn between looking up the SOtU now and knowing whatever bs it is I'll see it tomorrow...probably will wait for tomorrow.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I like Matt Czuchry and all, but the promos for that show looked like a MAD tv parody of one of Shonda Rhimes' shows.

I thought the show couldn't possibly be as bad as the ads, but it is worse!
