Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I can see why they call it Black Diamond, that was spectacular, and it's so lucky that no one got seriously hurt!

Gonna be a fun day at work tomorrow -- I'm driving a van full of residents from our sister Assisted Living over to the Museum of Fine Arts. There's a new driver there, only two days into the job, so she'll be along to learn routes and what little insights I have with vans. She in fact has driven them before, so possibly she knows more than I do.

So far having Covid is just boring. I’m ok if it stays that way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Boring Covid is the best Covid.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am so bored with my cause of the plague, OMG.

As a kid, 'boring' is the worse thing ever. As an adult, you've had enough exciting things that 'boring' gets a lot more desirable.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

This year more than ever.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

True dat.

I think some of it may be an age-related change in attitude to sleep. When I was little I often fought sleep with every fibre of my being. As a middle-aged adult, any time with nothing to do is time I can nap!

Our wings are not tired.

Tested yesterday, just a cold to punish me for not masking on my flight, still just as boring as Covid, but good to see one line.

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.

I'm just going to sit here and cry for a minute.

(Coming of age in Utah during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic was a personally historic event - a lot of the queer kids on campus hung out with the weirdos in the science fiction club. The irony of this being announced on Pioneer Day is not lost on me.)
