I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

Ooh, more details on the prospective tattoo, please! I am pretty sure I am in favor of spending more on that. Art is always a good investment, right? Maybe not financially, but just in a general making the world a little better sense

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I have a cross on my upper arm, and I'm going to get some assorted flowers around it. Pretty! I've always thought it was too small but didn't have a good idea of what to add until now.

That’s exciting Jesse! And if it’s for someone you know is a good artist it’s probably worth it.

I woke up early, fell back asleep, made breakfast, and am sitting around. Lovely day.

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

Timelies all!

Despite the heat we went to the Gaithersburg Book Festival. Mostly we tried to keep Mr. S out of trouble, though we did get to hear part of an interview with John Scalzi. Worn out now.

Ended up going to a friends place—I wasn’t invited originally but another friend I texted about hanging out invited me (the hosts aren’t as close with me) but had a great time in our best weather of the year watching the dogs run around their yard and holding a baby and chilling. Yay!!

Our wings are not tired.

Happy birthday to Java Cat! I hope you are having a wonderful day and that the year to come is filled with joy and laughter.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hec, that is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for the family.

Took my laptop to the Apple store where it was determined that the problem is the display. It is being sent in for repairs. At least it is still under warranty so I won’t have to pay anything.

Oww. The soccer game was good but I am unused to sunshine and not only did I sweat like crazy, I got sunburnt! Ouch. Have slathered myself in solarcaine but suspect I’ll feel worse tomorrow…
