Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I'm obsessed with the music selections for last night's roll call.

Also by the DJ, who decided that right around Rhode Island was a good place to start rapping.

I saw an online post comparing the DNC roll call with the RNC's. A world of difference. The Democrats looked like they were having fun; the Republicans NSM.

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)

Hil, I've been watching your cousin on Firefly Lane, I think. She's good. I like the show, too, so far(Not very far in, but the algorithm did better with that than deciding I'd like "Love is Blind" based on my loving "Crip Camp".)

Day two of conference, and I am so tired from talking to people all day! Have met some great people, but, man, I am tired. Dinner tonight with our crew and then early to bed and the final push tomorrow from 10a-1p. We're one of the sponsors, so we have a booth... with a donut wall! Actual donuts people can take and eat... and chat with us. Brilliant. (I mean, if you're a germaphobe and/or not willing to eat food that's hanging on a wooden peg on a wall, I get it - I've honestly been delighted by the percentage of people who hear "donut wall" and are totally game!) Sadly, none are GF. I am so oppressed. (Er, the donuts are not GF... people probably aren't either if they've just eaten a donut.)

I went to bed before the Obamas speeches last night, so I'm looking forward to watching both of those... sometime. I've heard good things.

[ETA: I do nothing to counter the stereotype the GenX abuses the fuck out of the ellipsis, huh? Oh, well. I'll own it.]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Also, no moose sightings yet despite all the signs that claim they may be crossing.

When I drove through the Lake Superior-adjacent parts of Ontario I saw those signs all over the place. I didn’t see a single moose, though.

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

The ellipsis are our Precious.
