I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The real shocking fact I learned is that Elvis never toured outside of the US, because Col. Tom Parker wasn't a US citizen and couldn't get a passport. (He was Dutch!)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Wow, I need to stop referring to "old, puffy Elvis" and change that to "puffy Elvis."
Also, when I went to Google "How old was Elvis when he died," once I typed out "How old was El", the autofill suggestions were, in order, "How old was Elvis when he died," "How old was Eliza Hamilton when she died," and "How old was Elton John when he died." Which made me need to check and see if Elton John was still alive. (SPOILER: he is.)
Which reminds me of how sad I am about Aretha Franklin, you guys.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm pretty much in denial about Aretha. She's eternal.

Huh. I had no idea our registration link was broken! Not that I've tried to introduce newbies obviously.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I actually made it home only about 2 hours late, so it was mostly the drama that was tiring.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Congrats, tcg!
We're back. At home for a day, then we fly out to WorldCon. I'm going to need a vacation from my vacation(s).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Review was good. The biggest criticism was that I rely on email too much instead of making phone calls. Forgive me for liking a paper trail.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This morning there was a spill from an oil tanker trunk which shut down most of downtown for several hours. About an hour after the cleanup had wrapped up there, a massive retaining wall collapsed in almost the exact same spot, so Main St is shut down again at least through tomorrow's morning commute.
Either someone is trying to open a hellmouth, or we are under attack by a supervillain who seems oddly fixated on making it difficult for people in Ossining to get to the train station. Please send Superman and/or Buffy.

Hopefully the insane storm that came through here peters out before it reaches you.... Was really surprised to hear one street in my hood got enough flow to stall out cars. It's just downhill! And no one remembers that happening before.
Headache receding; thinking it was more likely sinus from pressure change than related to the eyeball migraine. Which I guess is good? While the vision disruption is uncomfortable, unsettling & disruptive, it's not painful. Well, no more than mild eyestrain (which I suspect is actual eye strain-muscles trying to counteract the lies my brain is concocting.) & it leaves me feeling off & fragile, probably because the visual disconnect- I got the same lizard brain reaction being in total (cave) darkness for more than 30 seconds.
