Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I was LDB'd. sigh

However, I offer you a claymation carol (definitely not LDB). It does show that fezes CAN be cool.

I have not been tested but do have a couple of rapid tests I stocked up on before I set out on this crazy trip. Not as good as a PCR but better than nothing.

Also weird: dog woke me up in the night so I got up to let him out and nearly fell over my ankle hurt so bad. Why? No idea! I didn’t walk a ton or twist it or sit in a weird position or anything, but I am suddenly limping like a Mf today and in tons of pain! Rude!!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My grandparents had that Claymation Christmas special on tape. I've seen it so many times. There's some little bit where a camel (or a person? maybe a goose) is wandering around singing "Here we come a waffling..."

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got tested this morning and came back negative. The line was about three times as long as when I tested in August. My university has decided to do a remote first week of classes in January, which should give holiday infections time to be caught and quarantined. I have about two more hours of work, and then I'm done until 1/4. I've spent most of the past year of work sitting on my butt, typing and clicking things with a mouse, but I still feel exhausted.

Our wings are not tired.

DH got a spam email this morning letting him know a co-worker or some such had tested positive and the handy spreadsheet attached would give him an exposed people list or some such. He read it aloud to me at the time, but the details don't seem that memorable. Still don't know who might have been on that list since I am his co-worker at this location.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

My Christmas cactus's blossoms are starting to open: [link]

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Gorgeous, DCP!

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

Very nice, dcp. My mother's Christmas cactus has been in the habit of blooming in May since she moved it back to California, but a couple of years ago it bloomed in December and we were all shocked and pleased. Yours is very co-operative with the calendar!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Very tired. Had trouble keeping my eyes open at work this afternoon.
