Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yes, please. I would like that checkbox too.

Looks like Kavanaugh will be confirmed tomorrow. I doubt they would have advanced things if they didn't have the vote.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is awesome. Is she not interested in meeting internet axe murderers yet?

She's met me and Emmett!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Week, Laura! Glad that worked out with nobody and nothing broken!!

I am flying to New York tonight to go to a k-pop concert with a friend from the internet I haven't met yet, and Casper's continuing attitude towards me meeting friends from the internet remains hilarious. This morning's gems included, "Mom, if Chuck [her nickname for my internet friend] turns out to actually be a guy who is catfishing you, and you end up murdered, just know that I loved you."

Lol! Does she not know you've already met a bunch of us internet axe murderers? And SO HAS SHE! Mwhabahahah! (Is she jealous you are going to the concert and not her???)

Because books.

This made me laugh. And yet ...

I'm listening to Lucero and eating the most delicious plum (it was not in the icebox, though) and thinking about getting ready for work, although I would rather not. That's all I have today, except for how Caspar is adorable and I'm glad Laura is okay after her morning's adventure!

information libertarian

Casper was not jealous when I bought the tickets (this group is popular with "basic girls" and she likes feeling superior) but is rather jealous now that it's actually happening. I have promised her if her fave group comes to Chicago this year (which could happen) we will go.

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

It's my co-workers birthday tomorrow, so we have a spread of cookies and pastries to celebrate. So that's an improvement to the day, for sure.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Because I probably shouldn't post this on Facebook (it's not cool to post things about articles I edit before they're actually published) -- can I just say how this week is NOT THE TIME to assign me an article titled "Intimate Partner Violence, Sexual Assault, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder among Midlife and Older Women: Prevalence and Impact on Menopause Symptoms"?!?!?!?!?!?

That said, I suppose this is a damn good time for us to publish this article (though it won't be online for about a month). So it's needed, but god DAMN, do I not want to edit it. Jesus.
