I was just reminded that at the beginning of this calendar year, I was being inspired by meara and others to think about sending out a photo card myself. Well, then 2020 happened. Would it be funny to take different pictures of myself in my apartment and send that out as a card??
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

oh, as usual, dear ... my organization is running a virtual conference, so I've been fielding calls from the frantic, the irate and the just plain confused. In between, I've been doing bits and pieces of work, as possible, and I've gotten hooked on YouTube videos of Say Yes to the Dress. One I was watching, the bride declared she wanted to be naked with sparkles, "vajazzled". They tried her in a dress that was actually too naked ... and she said "exposing my Pikachu" (which made me laugh ... luckily, there's no one around to hear).

I think that will depend on where we are Jesse? It could be super funny! Or a depressing reminder of our reality.
I don't remember cutting my or anyone else's hair but remember cutting Barbies hair.

San Antonio and the rest of the county seem to be running around 45-48% have done early voting, which I don't think counts mail-ins. Depending on how many registered voters don't bother, we may already have more than half the votes in!

I think so!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I love the phrase "scissors privilege."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I voted today! Went to a different early voting site than the one I went to Monday. Got there around 8, and there was no line.

Agree that "scissors privilege" is a great phrase. I know I should have mine revoked from time to time. Or just "holding things" privilege, because sometimes I don't manage it very well.

We have BOTH a long length of plastic pipe AND a trebuchet. Actually we have TWO trebuchets - one classic one, tabletop size, and one 4 feet tall that is more of an automated sling shot kinda thing. Maybe Halloween will be saved after all!

ION I am plastering in the sun porch and am making up a very nice romance novel while I work. The heroine is a cake decorator who realizes that she has the exact same skills as a master plasterer and the profit margins are much better!
