Vortex is that for L?
Yes! It's just me and J for dress shopping, so only we get prezzies. Bad Wolf for me, Caffinate for J, and Nevertheless for L. Yes, it's extra, but have you met me?
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary's alarm is just a buzz. On the occasion that I need it(Gary's away, I have to get up earlier than usual)my alarm is the local classic rock station. I always get up when the alarm goes off since my brain won't let me ignore it.

I'm very glad I picked this apartment complex. Yes, the fixtures are out of date, but they maintain the shit out of this place. The first summer I was here, they resurfaced the parking lot. The next summer, they replaced the roofs on all the buildings. This summer they're painting the exteriors. This past winter, they resurfaced the swimming pool (which I've never used, because it's always packed with kids). If I put a call in for something, it's dealt with. There are quarterly inspections for leaks (and for a glance around the place, I'm sure, but I don't have anything out that I won't admit to). Rent increases have been reasonable, and I'm happy to be here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I hear that, Connie. My old apartment complex was on top of plowing the lot and shoveling the sidewalks when it snowed, which I sorely miss.

When there's a snowstorm here, the parking lot's plowed before I leave for work. When I thank the guys doing the work, though, they look embarrassed. I keep thinking of making cookies to leave for them in the office, but I don't know if that's weird.

I have work to do that I brought home, but I have some massive I don't wannas.
Sadly the interwebs are not entertaining me, so I think I will turn on the tv machine and plug in the work laptop and do work while watching stories.

Watching the debates. I always do, so here I am. It will be easier when there are a lot fewer candidates.
