I look more rad than Lutheranism

Riverdale: I'm kinda bored with

Well, you don't have to be bored with that any more! How hilariously bad is a detention center's security when 5 teenagers can break an inmate out? (I guess I mean the security *guards*, not the security at the detention center, since the empty-pool fight club was happening in a different facility.)

And yeah, paranoid Jughead is the best. Although it's shitty that he didn't help break Archie out of juvie.

Because books.

Riverdale: I was surprised by the warden doing himself in. Especially knowing he was playing the game. I just hope this all makes some kind of sense in the end.

The snow here was insane this afternoon. Like, pop-up blizzard! And now it's been sleeted on and iced over and it's getting warm and it's all just a big slushy mess.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I subbed a 4th grade class today, and the sheer joy they had in taking recess during a snowfall was delightful beyond measure. They were so excited to go out in the snow!

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

I kinda love the idea that Jughead's game had to go right for the escape to work. Riverdale is exactly the right amount of off the rails right now. Eldervare!

That sounds amazing, Scrappy!

It really was. It was a great bunch of kids and the whole day was a treat.

That's awesome, Scrappy! Fourth graders are also -- usually -- a lot less belligerent than middle-schoolers.

-t, I also love that idea! The tie-in was really emphasized, too.

Herding cats for fun

Well all righty then. Four mice down so far. Who knows how many more I will end? Those snap traps really do the trick. I did feel a little sad when I saw the soft fur and teeny toes, but I am determined to win back the premises for my own use.

All schools in the Bay Area will be closed Friday due to Very Unhealthy Air. From San Francisco to Fremont, Berkeley to Pleasanton, they will be closed. San Francisco State is taking a day. Interesting times. I personally feel like I am dying with gritty eyes, sore throat and mental haze, so I am moving very slowly. I promise to be thrilled next time I get to breathe good air.

Go go Katerina Bee!

The news from Paradise is just so fucking heartbreaking. Over 600 people are missing.

Aww, scrappy that sounds adorable!!

I used my ATV scooter and went to a happy hour thing at the gay bar! But it was super crowded and hard to navigate or hear people talk, so my friend and I didn't stay long. But the ATV scooter is definitely better on sidewalks than the other one. That said, I've got annoying super painful spots where my scar is (and maybe some hardware?) and so far nothing is fixing it—ice, painkiller, different positions...grr

Oh: peppermint merengues at Trader Joe's. Highly recommend, but do not recommend eating 3/4 of the box at once. My tummy is in sugar shock.
