And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My polling place wasn't crowded, but then our district isn't that big so it never is.

The final word on the tuna/cinnamon bagel thing is that when my husband got home, he said he didn't see the problem with tuna salad on a cinnamon bagel, so I guess I'm married to the next governor of New York.

Hi Gris! Hope South America is treating you and yours well!

I don't want to be awake. I'm very tempted to call in sick to work but I don't think I can because half the staff is evacuating (company is based in Wilmington NC) and if our clients who are not there need us I need to be available. Grr.

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

Huh, Journey and Def Leppard are touring together? Did not see that coming.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Is a time rift involved? Does buying a ticket give you the coordinates to a time portal you have to enter to see the concert?

The final word on the tuna/cinnamon bagel thing

I mean, I guess it's a flavor profile that exists in various cuisines, but I wouldn't eat it on a dare.

Coding and Sleeping

Tasks for the weekend are starting to line up. I need to fix a toilet, fix my car, make a Faraday cage, finish up making a cabinet, make a control panel, set up a web server, and do some staining. Also want to fit in some time to work on beta board migration and maybe some writing along with the usual cleaning, laundry, dishes, and cooking.

I would like the figure I had during their native time (or heck, just the face) and in exchange, I would be willing to wear an era-appropriate costume (including shoulder pads, because I have no shoulders).

However, someone else is going to have to do my hair.

What is even happening?

So my daughter transferred from Mass College of Art & Design to UMass for her sophomore year.

She is in a suite with five other girls. She and her roommate want to transfer to a double somewhere on campus.

On her transfer form, she accidentally checked off that the box stating she is a felon. (She's not. She has never even had a parking or speeding ticket.)

Now, she has to submit to a background check, in order to get that removed. There's no background to check, but it seems strange that she needs a background check to clear up a mistake she made. It's not like the University got some wrong information from a law enforcement agency. She checked a box she shouldn't have checked.

Does this sound typical?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Seemingly, the National Weather Service had an, um, interesting graphic for Florence.
