Congrats, Strix! If you can make it through this year sober, you're all right.
In semi-related news, my niece gave me a jug of small-batch hard cider, knowing I like the stuff. It's 12% alcohol. I almost choked on it. My regular hard cider is 5%! Apparently I'm a super-lightweight now.
Richard Adams and Carrie Fisher and George Michael. Damn it. Four more days to go in this ferocious year. I'm staying up until the ball drops on NYE because I want to watch 2016 leave.
I'm hoping there's a fire pit at the NYE party so I can burn my 2016 calendar while alternately sobbing and shrieking "Die in a fire, motherfucker!"
Twitter is full of lovely stories and memories and affection for her, and I just can't right now.

I'm trying to figure out what medium I can make a 2016 from so I can destroy it on NYE. I'd like to blow it up, but that might bring the cops. So I might just draw it and then burn it. (Tim suggested we add gunpowder, because of course he has random gunpowder.* But that might bring the cops, too.)

The citizens of Cincinnati sleep easier knowing Pyro-Man is on the job.
I like to think his crime fighting identity is a mermaid.
And he does have a sidekick named Kato.
Oh man, the idea of Tim out fighting crime is a really excellent one.
And Strix, you should totally wind up a superhero. Plus, what Plei said.
Thinking about you and yours, Consuela, and sending love and strength.
The urge to hide until this year passes is really strong right now.
And he does have a sidekick named Kato.
That's partly who Kato is named after. But also the Pink Panther's Kato. Our dog is more Green Hornet!Kato than Pink Panther!Kato.

Always good to go with the less homicidal choice.
