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

Thank you for going, Tom.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And the mosque that burned down in Victoria, which is not that far from where I used to live, has raised $250,000 in 12 hours.

Good on you for going, Tom.

In much more minor tragedies, everywhere I went today I ran into someone I know. Which is only tragic in that I really wish I'd washed my hair this morning. More tragic is that I failed to prevent one of those people from buying this coat: [link]

Wow. That is something else.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sweet Jesus. That's...why? What? Why?

At the neighborhood swap meet, where I was unshowered and wearing no makeup, with my hair in a ponytail (because I have a damn migraine), we ran into Tim's ex-wife. Like you do.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

but we finally ended up settling on Ypsilanti/Pittsfield. Lots of cute bungalows in very nice near at a price we can afford. Aimee lives there, by the way!!!

Aimee proximity is key, but don't forget that Ypsi's favorite son is Iggy Pop.

Why would anyone think that coat is a good idea?

ION, I can't decide if I'm more reassured or horrified by the Voldemort administration's apparent incompetence. The only actual lawyer to review the immigration memo may well have been Jeff Sessions, who never met a civil right he liked. But thank God for the ACLU, National Lawyers guild, and so forth.

This is only going to get worse, I fear...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

So church tomorrow might be interesting. My FB posts I think are giving my mother high blood pressure.

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.

It wouldn't even work for a Muppet.
