I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

I am 50% done writing performance evaluations, but I think I need to break for dinner now.

Go shrift!

Yeah, I took a Cultural History of Early Twentieth Century Europe class during my second try at a Master's. Heavy on the fascism, as one might expect. Little details from that have been floating up in my memory and paralyzing me with fear of what will happen next at random moments for a while now. And I don't know of any models of How to Successfully Fight Fascism from Underneath, as it were.

I just started on my last one. Sigh.

Have they called the PA special election yet? I'm afraid to look.

That's my home county in that special election. Going Democratic would be earth-shaking.

And Stephen Hawking has died. Now he's free to wander the cosmos.

I have finished my last review and now I'm going to beer myself.

Fucking hell, that's a nail biter.

Edit: Shit, not Stephen Hawking!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just found out about Hawking. He had an amazing long life considering but I still am sad to lose him.

PA race is a nailbiter, for sure.

Sorry to hear about that. 55 years when doctors gave you 2 isn't bad, though, and he definitely made the most of them.
