Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Scrappy, I will never be as ballsy as your be-fringed friend.

At some point she also said "Nothing says Christmas like Yippie Ki Yay motherfucker!"

crying-laughing emoji!

They're doing aerial shots of Masada

I once had a dream that Satan fell in love with a girl named Masada, and her love made him compassionate, and that made G-d so angry He tried to kill them with lightning bolts but they got away by hiding inside a mountain. I don't know why I remember that dream.

Has anyone else seen this? photos of animals fished out of the deep sea

Some of those things, I can't tell where the face is. They give me the willies. The space aliens have been here all along.

I never decorate for Christmas, because we always all go to my sister's huge house and she decorates. I'm starting to feel like I want my own holiday decorations. Maybe that's a sign of the depression receding.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I went to a used bookshop once and the three books I bought had been sold to the shop by the clerk. He asked me out for coffee on the spot. (I'd have said yes but the guy I was currently seeing was with me in the shop at the time.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There's a local used book place that I donate to - they use the profits to fund literacy programs. Periodically, I'll look at the available books when I drop off a bagful ... and I keep finding myself drawn to books that I've donated (or other copies of the same ones). Consistancy?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Maybe that's a sign of the depression receding.

I *love* little signs that your brain is going, "Hey, the fog is lifting! I have an idea!"

That is an exceptionally tolerant cat. Who will probably poop in its owner's shoe.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

So I went to bed at 10 pm and slept until 11:30 am. (With a couple breaks to let the dog out and text my coworker about being sick.) Suspect this is a sinus infection: I'm just congested, not particularly sniffly.

Don't think I'm going to go into the office now. I should do stuff around the house, but perhaps I will lounge and finish reading The Obelisk Gate first. Maybe go to Walgreens for meds.

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

I turned out to be Khadijah.

Aw, that seems very sweet to me.

We have a tradition in my family that when you buy someone a book as a present you are expected to read it before you give it to them. Sometimes I don't and my mom (they are usually for her for some reason) is so surprised when I say I'll need to borrow them when she's done.

That's a great dream, Zen! You probably remember it because it's just that good.

Our Xmas gift from the Sr Director this year is a 6-piece baking set. Nice.
