I've had a strange relationship with music ever since my trailer in Arizona got broken into, twenty years ago or so. The burglars took most of my CDs, and it kind of broke something in me. While I have bought more music over the intervening years, I can no longer simply listen to music the way I used to do. I can have the radio on while I am doing something, and a lot of music that I used to love, I hear it, recognize its aesthetic value, but can't bear to listen.
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

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.

That's awful, WS. Stealing your CDs is bad enough, but stealing your joy in the music they contained is even worse. I hope the thieve's favorite foods turn to ashes in their mouths.

Granola with fresh fruit: Is anyone else watching the Oscars red carpet? I'm liking the top to bottom pleats on Trudy's, Sting's wife, dress. I also like that Sting hasn't traded her in on a younger model.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Goddamnit, I think I might be getting sick. I have a week and a half before I fly out for a con, and this will have to be over by then.

Which con are you going to Dana?
My role for Denver Comic Con keeps expanding. I'm ok with that, but I'm going to be BUSY from now through July 3rd. Anyone wanna come out here and be one of my liaisons and work five 12 hour days with me? I'm still looking for 2 volunteer liaison captains.

Escapade, a small long-running slash con.
This Oscar-nominated song is not very good.

Yes! That was the one Oscar win I had every finger crossed for, as I'm resigned to La La Land winning Best Picture.

So now we can say "Oscar-winning motion picture Suicide Squad."
