You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Morning, all. Thank you all for your wishes. Rest of the night was quiet and I was finally able to fall asleep around 3:15am, so I guess that the other waves were intercepted over other countries.

It was amazing to see the regional cooperation last night (+ Britain, France, and if course the US). It is bewildering to know that the thing that I thought no Islamic country will ever risk, Al-Aqsa, was also targeted yesterday [link] It was also weird to wait for hours for the attack to land - we usually have 15-90 second sirens as a warning, not minutes/hours.

The tiny vent (compared to everything) that I have right now is mostly this. Because I'm tired but there's work. How. Nope. Let me rest after yesterday. [link]

And now, focusing all hopes and efforts on restraining the government from reacting to last night, and back to the hostage/ceasefire deal. This is one insane timeline, y'all.

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

Grey Sunday and I'm off to run.

The washing machine is not draining properly and we suspect the guinea pig bedding (with their concomitant hairs) is the culprit.

Another thing to sort along with my hacked credit card.

I would prefer less bullshit on my agenda.

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

Timelies all!

{{{Nilly}}} {{{Shir}}}

Not much going on here. Gary's away on a business trip. He left early Fri morning and was supposed to come back on Tuesday afternoon. Things wrapped up early, so he's flying back tonight. I also heard back from the social worker at the unit Mr. S is on, and a discharge date of Thursday has been set. Still nervous about him coming back.

Sending so much love to Nilly and Shir. My heart is heavy.

{{{meara}}} So upsetting. Sending love.

{{{Sheryl}}} It's a lot.

Ugh, David, I'm sorry you're now dealing with credit card fraud on top of everything else.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm also staying at Hotel Majestic for the memorial. Haven't booked my flight yet since I'm hoping Papa Bezos will pay for one leg (trying to shoehorn a business trip to Seattle into the same week).

I am continuing to make NYC metro area plans with Shir and hoping like hell she's able to come.

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

Okay, that was relatively painless changing my card on Venmo, PayPal and Amazon.

And I changed them all to the Living Trust account so I won't have to change them again when that account # is changed.

I’m at the Stanton Park Hotel, I guess I’ll have to console myself that I’m next door to the Pinball Hall.

Our wings are not tired.

Stanton Park was full when I checked. Pinball Hall? This sounds like a Brendon thing.
