I just ordered a Nanoleaf Gem bulb so that I can see how well it dims. If the curve from 0-10% is smooth it could be acceptable for theatrical use.
I also just purchased a Phillips wake-up light that I'll pick up later today.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just need to keep my house clean until Tuesday. We have a cleaning lady come once a month, and she came Friday morning. And I have at least a dozen people coming on Tuesday night for election watching...
Also, my friend finally came clean to me about her lady drama. Which is highly dramatic OMG. She's been kind of AWOL the past couple months and I thought she was mad at me. But no, she had just been trying to hide her secret girlfriend. Ugh. Which everyone was gossiping about ANYWAY. But apparently it's now all become a complete shitshow, because M1 was dating M2. And then A became friends with M1. And moved in for a month while she was between apartments. And at SOME point, M1 and A started dating. And M1 broke up with M2 (...I didn't ask details of that timeline). I knew about M1 and M2 breaking up, but the M1/A thing was on the DL. BUT apparently at some point A dumped M1....and started dating M2!!!!!! Secretly, of course. But now it's all drama and lies and hurt feelings and I'm just like "jesus people there are other fish in the sea"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are there, though?
(Yes, there are.)

I'm wearing a pantsuit Tuesday, although I've already voted. Also, there's a "secret" FB group called Pantsuit Nation for Hillary supporters who want to post about it without stirring up family strife. If anyone's a FB friend and wants in, let me know. The posts are nice. Among other things, it's how I learned that 1980 Independent presidential candidate John Anderson is a) still alive and b) campaigning for HRC.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I still want to know how Princeton Consortium has HRC's odds at >99%, while 538 has them at 65%. I know that Nate Silver has kind of lost it, but that's such a HUGE difference. (And I'm going with Princeton Consortium.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hm, I could maybe approximate a white pantsuit with jeans and a blazer. I think all my actual suits are skirted.

I unfriended someone on FB this morning after she made a pro-Trump post followed by an anti-Hillary post saying that criminals would celebrate if she won. Bye bye.

The only white clothes I have are shirts, but I could do at least that. Plus Madam President on my nails!

The only suit I have is black and very late-seasons Scully.
