Dangit, Florence Henderson died.
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh no! Not Carol Brady. Dang.
I got my pay stub and it included a very generous Reward and Recognition about. Which is very nice, but I have no clue why. I'm missing the Recognition side of the equation.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We had 11 for Thanksgiving and (as is traditional) food for about 30. So we're having a Please Come Eat Our Leftovers party tomorrow - but in the mean time, today is for chilling in our (temporarily clean) house with crafts and video games and a deep sense of appreciation for each other and good friends and the fact that we neither travelled or had to deal with family bullshit this holiday.

Bargh, this cold is awful. I woke up coughing and happily found some Mucinex in my sister's cabinets. But I'm still in my pajamas and the dogs are not getting walked today. At least I have chicken soup on the stove and five more episodes of Stranger Things to watch.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, Consuela. Chicken soup and Stranger Things sounds like an excellent treatment, at least.
I have yet to get going today. It would be very good to get some stuff accomplished if I can, but sitting on the couch reading has its merits.

Winona Ryder is my barrier to entry with Stranger Things. I watched the first ep. and part of the second, and when her character came on in the 2nd episode, something in me went, Nope!
I am also having that issue with Cherry Jones character in Transparent.

She is kind of OTT, it is true, but OTOH I can see how you would get there, given the circumstances. And I'm just grateful to have any adult women being full characters on the show.
There's an essay by Barbara Kingsolver on the Guardian today, and one of the things she talks about is how as a society we don't look at elderly women as leaders or heroes. [link] And she's right. As I get older, I become more & more aware of how rare it is to see women over 50 in pop culture, especially women doing anything useful and not being there just as comic relief. Or as mothers being sensible but ultimately useless.

This is something they definitely corrected on Legend of Korra. Never saw so many middle aged women badasses.

Yeah, I loved that the Bei Fong women generally kicked ass all over on that show.
