I'm kinda avoiding FB today because too much is depressing or infuriating.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Just told the tvtropes story to someone at work. Hold me?
(It's a nerd company, and we were talking about fridging, and someone posted a link in the hipchat, and...)
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.

It is storming here and the dog is as close as physically possible to me while leaving the keyboard in my lap available.

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

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I haven't had to tell the story yet, but I've had to step out of a couple conversations on the Ao3 tag wrangling chat when they're hip-deep in links.
In other news, I just saved the theatre $400 a year that we were spending in possibly the stupidest way possible (paying for redundant services that we almost never use anyway is great business sense)

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Thanks, Kat. It's just always in the back of your mind when you're a disabled parent. It was also TCG's first thought. People are very judgementsl about adaptions I have to make as a parent. It's not uncommon for ltc to get pitying looks for having me as a parent.
I am sorry if I came across as dismissive... I was more thinking about how often we've had people in and out of the house with evaluations for Grace. It's hard not to feel like I'm being judged all the time, and if I worried about it, it would be crazy making. We too are familiar with the pitying looks.
