Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

ION, Dana! You know who she is! Admit it!

I was going to say that if she's writing these days, it's very likely C-drama, but not if she was on LJ back in the day. Hmmmm.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Such awful news about the deaths in Israel. Has anyone heard from Shir?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I heard back from Nilly -- she and her family are all OK. And I heard the same from my Israeli cousins.

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

That's good, Hil.

Not sure if I said earlier but Gris that is both excellent and ducked up that your wife is flying to New Orleans to get a vaccine!! I mean yay that she can, but boo that she needs to? I hope you can get vaccinated soon too and that her trip goes smoothly!!

It is back to raining again here. I don’t mind so much, in the morning, it feels calmer. But mostly I’m just always happy once we are at >12 hours of sunlight so...yay!

Plus it’s Friday. Thank god. I have a crap ton of emails in my inbox about the parts of my job I like least, which I have been dealing with a ton lately, so that’s stupid.

But also yay fanfic writers being big shots!

What is even happening?

Half my Twitter feed now is Jews in mourning, and the other half doesn't even know what happened.

I saw brief coverage of the stampede during the Lag Ba'omer commemoration on MSNBC, this morning. It's heartbreaking. I'm glad your cousins and Nilly are okay.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Hil, I'm so very sorry, and it's good to hear that your family and Nilly are safe.

Dad's home and wearing a heart monitor for 30 days; the doctors said "Whatever happened, it definitely wasn't a heart attack, but you had a quad bypass not THAT long ago, so you get to be Two-Phones Parker for a month". He said that he was vexed that they would not put the sirens on for his ambulance ride. I am very grateful that he was at a friend's when he collapsed, and that said friend was a retired police officer living next door to two paramedics, none of whom put up with Dad's "No, I'll be fine in a minute".

Our wings are not tired.

That was excellent timing there, dad of amyparker! Good to hear he is home.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I continue to hate iTunes. I thought matching up the "lost" songs with the iTunes player was going faster if I just played the song directly from the file, but when I refreshed everything it now shows THOUSANDS of duplicates in the iTunes player.

I already tried closing it and restarting.

Seriously BAD interface.

Anyway I am down to about 630 "lost" songs and they all seem to be on albums that at some point got filed into the Various Artists file.

Super exciting Friday evening here.
