It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

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

One thing is absolutely enough. I get feeling like it is not, though. I am often hit with the "I have so much to do I might as well not do any of it" whammy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yeah, I meant to say -- I often do no Things other than work! Working all day is plenty. It's a good thing I'm happy to have the same thing for dinner days in a row, because I can just heat it up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I ate too much fried food for lunch, and now I feel icky.

Mmm, fried food. Sorry for the ick.

I'm picking up a French Onion soup and tuna salad sandwich for lunch. Comforty comfort.

Ow. Wtf. I felt fine when I woke up and then suddenly half an hour ago out of nowhere a terrible headache (or toothache? Hard to say) started. I have been known to clench my teeth at night and wake up to a headache from that, but not get one all sudden-like! Argh.

Zen, I hear you. And I am worried I will waste away the time I'm taking off and not get anything special or different done. But I need the time off, I was so annoyed and frustrated yesterday I wanted to scream.

meara, if all you do with your time off is get yourself not annoyed and frustrated it will be time well spent.

Can I get a grant to keep saying this stuff to people? I'm not good at all about living it, but I can say it all day long

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm editing yet another article about opioid overdose deaths, and it uses the term "opioid treatment program" and abbreviates it "OTP", which is giving me the giggles every time I see it.

Oh shit, I have one more review tomorrow that I forgot about. In addition to my own, which I wrote, but have to discuss with my boss.
