I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

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.

Speedy healing~ma for your goddaughter, Jilli.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, is it a migraine? If it doesn't go away, you might want to go to a doctor to get something to break it. A shot of Toradol used to work for me sometimes, but the past two times I've needed a steroid pack.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Today feels like a "run away and join the circus" day. I'm having a real hard time getting started.

Though at least we get to go see Wait Wait Don't Tell Me tonight.

I wasn't able to sleep last night. It's going to be a rough day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that's fun, Dana!

I'm trying to decide how best to subtly have someone to walk to my out-of-the-office meeting with, because I still feel awkward walking into place alone.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh! Enjoy Wait Wait! One of my favorites.

I got an Ancestry DNA kit and am sending it off today. We know just where Mom came from, but have no clue on Dad. DH has a completely different mix from me, and son's GF has an entirely different mix! So my potential grandchild would be Irish, German, English, Russian, French, Cuban, and Scottish! (and likely a few other varieties)

Thinking about cars from yesterday. There are some cars I don't understand.

The Acura ILX. I've been in one and it really feels like a Honda Civic that just costs a whole lot more.

The entire GMC brand. Why is there a whole brand for trucks and SUVs that look almost exactly like their Chevy counterparts.

The Fiat 500L. Isn't it basically just a less good looking Fiat 500X?

Why does Jeep have the Compass, Patriot, and Renegade SUVs? How many small SUVs does Jeep need to make?

Is Ford ever going to make a new Taurus? It started with an old Volvo platform and hasn't significantly changed in like forever.

How does Mitsubishi's auto division stay in business in the USA? They have a very small stable of uninteresting and old cars.

How does Smart stay in business selling one model that doesn't have rear seat? I don't understand how the Smartcar sells either. Wouldn't something like a Chevy Spark or Toyota Yaris be better in almost every possible way?

Why does Toyota sell a Mazda 2 as a Yaris sedan?

Why does Mini have both the Countryman and the Clubman?

Does Ford have any idea what they are doing with the Lincoln brand?

Jesse I thought you were going to say because you weren't sure where the out of office meeting was!

I had friends over and drank too much wine last night. But it was good

I was double-checking my House rep, and even looking at his picture, you an tell he's an obnoxious old man Republican.

Thrive to spite them

I made an attempt to make calls but it was the same "the voice mailbox is full"
