Dad is out of the hospital!
Great news!
He was telling horrible dad jokes to his medical staff yesterday, which is a good indication that he's feeling better.
Excellent news!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yay for Atropa’s dad feeling better and being home!
Was thinking of you today because my super awesome 19 yo coworker has goth tendencies so I played her your Ye Olde Spooky Club 1995 mix.
(And then we played my Spotify Discover Weekly and I spun an entire queer love story between a hired assassin and a shy witch, song by song all the way to the credits. Definitely a fun game.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy birthday Calli!

Hello. It's late here. I'm OK. And I owe you a funny/lighter war story for tomorrow.

Always so glad to see you Shir.
Yay for bad dad jokes in semi-inappropriate settings.

Yay, Atropa's dad! I hope he recovers quickly.

Ooh, good one, Vortex. No need for dry erase necklaces
You may recall from this morning that i needed to buy cat food on the way home and hoped I could pay for it with my phone because I left my purse at my house. Well, I could not pay with my phone. So a nice customer service person suspended my transaction and I headed home to get my purse. Except I had somehow locked my car door and while I had grabbed my ignition key when I walked off without my purse I had not grabbed the door key. So I got a Lyft downtown, went inside my house without cat food (taking my life in my hands) to grab my purse, got another Lyft back to the store, asked fir suspended transaction, was told some of my groceries had been put back but if I wanted to go grab them again I could, got back to discover they had not been put back so now I had 2, got that sorted out and paid for everything, came home and fed the cat.
So that was fun. And now I know how much a Lyft to the grocery store costs.
