Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Good news: Mom doesn't need to have surgery on her knee!

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

Yay mom of sj!

Just checking - we are all agreed that New Year's Steve is played by Chris Evans, yes?

Sounds good to me, -t!

We're staying in tonight and watching the Black Mirror movie. We might manage to stay awake until midnight, but I'm sure ltc will be up first thing in the morning. So, that might not be the best idea.

There's a Black Mirror movie? I am so out of all the loops.

I do have I Wanna Be Sedated stuck in my head today, though. Thanks, internet. I don't entirely mind, but it doesn't go well with working...

What is even happening?

Oh, sj, your poor mom. I'm glad she doesn't need surgery at least.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Besides Amazon, where does one go these days to buy used college textbooks?

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I'm not certain about text books, but I buy a lot of used books from Better World Books.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

University bookstores maybe? Nearly all used booksellers these days will list their catalogs on Amazon, though.

This getting a migraine anytime it rains or snows is getting old, especially when ltc is on vacation.

Oh yeah, I'm known to my friends as The Human Barometer.

Our wings are not tired.

Sophia! I got your card back although I am pretty sure the address is good. It was marked 'no mail receptacle'.

Good news, sj, but still an ouchy place to deal with.
