Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Argh also really annoying: booked a haircut a few weeks ago, stylist just canceled on me. Not the most important thing at all but once I really wanted to deal with and have done and was glad I’d managed to schedule.

I feel like Force Majeure would have to be a villain?? But totally should be.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But Major Force sounds so positive and strong!

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

I guess I could tie some onions to her belt.

Always a solid reference

There was a Force Majeure on the Venture Brothers! [link]

You're half-right, Jesse! Major Force

Looks like the aliens have been here all X-Files style: [link]

I did not have credible whistleblowing about visitations by non-human intelligences on my 2023 bingo card, but sure, why not?

I just hope the aliens are hot. It's what we deserve.

The good news is, they are hot. The bad news is it's something they call "lava dick."

Our wings are not tired.

Lava dick does not sound like a good thing.

Air quality is sucky here in the Adirondacks. Canadian wildfires are causing a haze of nasty. People wearing masks and complaining of sore throats. I went out for a bit and it is kinda gross.

Lava dick is a bit of a deterrent, true.

I didn't think the wildfire haze would reach us, but it has, and our air quality suckity sucks. The haze makes the sky look cool at sunrise and sunset, though.

i But Major Force sounds so positive and strong!

A villain and a hero—twins, separated at birth, and raised with very different value systems.

Sorry about the card fraud, Steph.

Sorry about the smoke, Laura.

Things are fairly nice here. I have my windows open, a tomato on my plant is starting to ripen, the cats are being cuddlesome. But I'd love a week at a lake, with nothing but books and shoreline rambles on my agenda.
