Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Our wings are not tired

David I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.

Regarding mice, do traps or an exterminator (We had to deal with mice when we first moved into this house and the company we hired did an excellent job, they seal all points of entry to the house and then guarantee their work), but please make sure they are not using poison. It's a very real threat to predators like owls and hawks. We have lots of folks around here still using poison and it's heartbreaking seeing all the birds of prey that are dying from ingesting the rodents.

Ann, that's a ferret.

David, I'm sorry about your friend. He sounds like he's been through so much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

David, I am so sorry. This stuff is awful.

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

David, I am so sorry. This stuff is awful.

It fucking is.

Thanks, all. I just haven't made a lot of male friends in the 21st century, so it's hard to lose one. I just don't think he's going to survive this.

He's the guy who had me on his radio show twice and we just had so much fun geeking out together over music. My Kenyon friend, Greta, is also close with him.

I first discovered Todd through his film blog. (Curiously, Greta and I - who've known each other since Soph year of college - were crossposting on Todd's blog with internet names, not knowing who the other person was.)

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry about your friend, David.

Sucks about your friend, David. Yikes.

Took my laptop to the apple store and they were able to fix the sticky key then and there, which was great! And there was a gorgeous rainbow!

Because books.

David, I'm so sorry about your friend. I don't understand why people don't believe this virus can be traumatic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

David, I'm sorry about your friend. sj, I'm sorry about your uncle.

I've said I'm sorry so many times this year, it feels like it doesn't mean anything anymore. It's all so awful, and knowing it didn't have to happen is an extra kick in the gut.

Oh, sj, I knew I forgot something. This year has eaten my memory. I'm so sorry about your uncle.
