Yay, Laura!
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 possibly just started an argument on Facebook with a relative. I really should only post here.

I'm kinda avoiding FB today because too much is depressing or infuriating.

I am really heartbroken about Anthony Bourdain. Trying not to post/share anything because it's my mom's birthday and she doesn't need that in her feed.

I was listening to CNN in the car on the way home earlier and the newscaster was saying that every time she had the privilege to interview Bourdain she ended the interview with, "next life I want to be Anthony Bourdain", and she shares this feeling with a lot of us. She had to be rescued by her co-hosts a couple of times because she was losing it.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm on a direct news moratorium for the foreseeable future. There's enough going on in my life that I'm having trouble with to attempt to process more real world news that I can't affect directly.
flea, that's fantastic news. Thanks for bringing us happy stuff!
Laura, yay, you! That's wonderful.
See? News here is better. Although I am saddened by Bourdain.

I mowed like half the lawn and took a break to lie down for a bit and now I have a cat sleeping on me so I may be done with moving for a while.

My big brother really likes tvtropes, and would refer to it constantly when talking about writing projects, especially the one we're both working on. I finally told him the story and asked him to stop bringing the damn site up.
