Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I forgot that the reason we own a recliner is because Tim realized after heart surgery (god damn, has that man had a lot of surgery) that the first few nights up to the first week after surgery it's easier to sleep in the recliner rather than totally flat (or mostly flat) in the bed.

What I'm saying is that I can continue to sleep all sprawled in the middle of the bed for at least another 3 nights, minimum. Woo, hogging the bed!

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

Starfish like the wind, Tep!

Re: yesterday’s Connections (was that yesterday?) I usually don’t mind or even like the wacky pictograph ones but I could not get this one.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Jesus christ, why did I even get out of bed today?

Our wings are not tired.

I was Phew on today's Connections.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery Matt! And Tim too!

Go starfish Teppy!

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

What Sophia said. Sophia, actual Mom and I have spent a great deal of time picturing all those $1 bills. In other news, I submitted to a writing contest yesterday even though I probably have no shot and have puked more than the mother in "The Help" over the last few months(and she almost dies) Somehow, I thought optimism would be cuter since everyone urges on me so much.

Nobody has posted in over 24 hours?? What’s even going on? (I’ve been chilling in small town Illinois with my dads cousins who I can’t remember how we are related for his funeral…)

Dammit, people, meara needs some chatter.

I was cooling my heels at home and feeling restless and bored so I went over to Alembic (my local bar) at 9pm. Much later than I usually do.

Wound up talking to a very interesting woman at the bar for 2.5 hours. She's a musician who just got back from Salzburg, lives in Chicago and plays ukelele in a cover band that that does The Cure.

So that was way more fun than bored at home.

Been too busy doing not a whole lot. Air show is this weekend so traffic is insane. Son is over to watch the show. We have prime viewing from our balcony.
