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

So, I have to say this somewhere and where better than here? Joe Biden is turning into Jack Palance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh. Sigh.

I am just avoiding working and having random thoughts, so: My mother the English major claims to have never heard of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery! What?!?!

I can see it.

EDIT: Biden, I mean. I've never read The Lottery but I've certainly heard of it.

I *really* want to see the push-up challenge happen. Is that wrong?

(Look, in this hellscape we're living in, I'm taking my entertainment where I can get it.)

Jesse, that is bizarre! Has she heard of Jackson at all?

I was about to say maybe she was an English major before it came out but then googled and it was published in 1948 so....???

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not even The Haunting of Hill House?

Whoa, that is shocking, Jesse!
