Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ah yes, the French cousin of our humble Maine Coon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The kids on tonight's Jeopardy had a couple of the kind of mispronunciation that comes from only reading a word, and it was cute. (Albu-quirky, for one)

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

Hm. Should I change Miss Kitty’s name to Mademoiselle Chat? I don’t think I can count on being able to spell that consistently. I’ll stick with claiming it’s a Gunsmoke reference.

Shrift I have been there before, wondering if I’m the crazy one but no.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Feeling good that my first available colonoscopy appointment was 3pm on Monday July 31.

The July part of that is actually great--mine have all been in January or February, and one time I was worried I'd have to reschedule after I'd already started prep hell the night before because of snow, but fortunately a friend and neighbor with AWD was a complete hero and was willing to be my chauffeur.

shrift, there was once an ad where a guy insisted that Phoenix should be pronounce pa-hoe-nix

Our wings are not tired.

I learned how to pronounce desultory last week. I’ve been saying it out loud for 40 years. Ha!

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

My aunt thought "misled" was pronounced "myz'-zld" and it was very hard to convince her otherwise.
