Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I love David Attenborough. I once told a friend she couldn't call me during certain times on Sunday evening because it was my "David Attenborough worship time" (PBS broadcasts of a couple of his nature shows).

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

Huh. I think I got to the end of my work-work To Do List. That's unexpected.

Re: registered only to read the board - I think I have a knee-jerk Don't Become a Gated Community reaction but it's not rational and doesn't really have anything to do with the reality of our existence.

Thrive to spite them

I've been wondering about what would happen when people can register for the board again.

Even if Trump doesn't have his executive order we've still gotten fairly comfortable talking about ourselves and our lives in ways I don't think we would have had the board been open to anyone to join. And how our board culture has changed since new people could join and how it will change again when people can join and what that will be like.

Oh joy. they're coming. They're 17, hang out in large numbers, are really noisy and don't think of anything but sex.

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

(I have some extremely traumatic memories of Brood X from 1986 but fortunately it looks like I'm far enough north now to avoid the swarms.)

It amuses me that when you go to the chart, the cursor changes into a sorta-cicada-bug.

I waited too long to eat lunch and hit that zone where cooking, going out and getting something delivered were all intolerable so: Triscuits, Diet Coke and Hershey's Kisses. Very brand name!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Oh, goody, cicadas again.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
