We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

Trump can be funny, but not fun.

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.

If it weren't for my parens thing, I'd have an ellipsis thing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We finally had the IEP meeting today. Mr. S will be starting at the same school he was at last year, but referrals are being sent to non-public schools that would better serve his needs.
