I’m at CVS for my scheduled flu shot and they have COVID available so I’m getting that, too.
I usually wait for October to get those, but I should maybe get them ahead of surgery (which is not scheduled yet, and may well not happen before October).
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don’t have Kaiser to tell me it’s time to get them anymore, so I figured I’d best do it whenever I have the opportunity. Which is today.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Now look here, universe, you CANNOT take away Dolly Parton and Tim Curry in the same week when there are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS still down here alive and kicking. I won't name names because I don't want to wind up on a list, but I'm just saying.

I have another 80-year-old in mind.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In my heart they're carrying on and laughing and doing each other's makeup right now.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think it might be time to get some Etsy witches involved.

Happy birthday, lisah!
Current musing on Dolly: Interesting that her style was seen as hyper femme, but her iconic looks were usually very fancy pant suits. A more bedazzled variation on HRC's boss ensembles.
Current musing on Tim: I discovered him in RHPS in the 70s. So I didn't realize how ubiquitous he was in kid's media during the 80s/90s: Muppet Treasure Island, voice work in Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Xmas (direct to video - but the best direct to video Disney sequel), Annie, Wild Thornberries, Ferngully, Captain Hook, Jimmy Neutron.
