Every few years there's snow for about 2-3 days. For tonight we might get an inch of snow on the ground. An emergency that requires closing work places and schools, apparently.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

International people of mystery! So exciting.
Sorry about the preemptive layoff, Gud. What a bizarre situation.
I def did not notice an earthquake this morning, but I probably wouldn't have, looking at the maps.

Sumi really? I mean, for a while office sure, but for just me that seems inefficient.
Will consider caffeine for lunch.

I'm on day 2 of baby shark earworm and I might murder someone.
ION, after a test run yesterday I can confirm that I would adapt well to a life of free time consisting mostly of movie watching and running errands, so if I could get a grant for that or a funding stream or a patron, that would be keen.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Gud, I'm sorry. That's fucked up and infuriating.

My daughter was just in a car accident, but it sounds like she's fine. Car is a goner though. From what I've heard it wasn't her fault. She called me, but I was in the middle of a phone interview so I didn't pick up. So once again I let down the family. Oh well, the important thing is that she is okay.

You're not letting the family down entirely if you're in the middle of trying to get a new job to support them all.
Why couldn't she call her mother if she couldn't reach you? That's just one of the reasons that having two parents is a good idea.
Roommate has been mooning around, reading paper books instead of watching endless episodes of Law & Order/CSI. She was supposed to speak to a bank-type lady on Monday, but hasn't said word one about what happened, not even if she actually spoke to said lady. She did leave the house for a while yesterday.
I don't know if I'd make the situation more fraught if I asked what happened. Her original date to give me the late rent was last Monday. I got some money out of my IRA so I could make the mortgage payment (Xmas driving is very sparse) so I'm a bit miffed.

Yeah, that's no good, Theo. I hope she communicates with you soon, at the very least, and pays up before much longer.

Yeah, that's some understandable being miffed.

Glad your daughter is ok, Gud. Sorry about the car. I wish you were easier on yourself, not being available was not your fault.
