I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Punishingly Intricate

We love both the UK and the US Ghosts! And enjoyed the Ghosts callout on an epic Dead Boy Detective Agency

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Congrats, smonster!!!

I haven't managed to see the lights. Friday night clouds rolled in before I got out of the theatre. Last night I walked over to the lakefront and hung out for a while but I didn't want to stay too late since I'd be walking back home alone. Apparently the sky activity started about 30 minutes after I left.

I think I like the US ghosts better than the UK one. The storytelling seems more focused.

Yeah apparently Friday was the night to see it. I tried driving about 30 miles out of town with a friend and we set up chairs in a park and sat there for about two hours before giving up around midnight. We saw many stars and some satellites but no aurora. Boo.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We drove out last night to a park with less light pollution and a better north-facing view but yeah, too much cloud cover to see anything.

Our wings are not tired.

Air Show just finished here so I am in relax mode. Had a few people over so I had food and stuff for them.

Family friend who went to school with the boys is going to stay at the condo and cat sit while we are in San Francisco. She is an artist and is going to paint a mural for me. Her week here will give her time to feel the space and environment for inspiration. I'm pretty much leaving it in her capable hands because I am no artist. Excited!

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

That sounds cool. Wish I could come and see everyone, but I have that thought so much, it could be like when Gmail tries to finish your thought.

"You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… Joan Crawford is dead. Good.” —Bette Davis

I drove out into farmlands surrounding the city last night in the hope of catching the aurora, but no such luck. Oh well, wasn't a high priority life goal.

I did manage to remember to wear a mask while mowing today. So far no sinus pain afterward like I had last time, so I'm going to keep doing it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Coming in late - the job’s in NC right? Whoo-hoo!

Yes, NC. Right back where I started from.

I have drafted my resignation letter. Now if only I had a working printer. May just tell them verbally and then send an email.

Just landed NOLA. Man I hope I sleep well tonight, it has been a super rough week for pain and sleep.

Very excited for you smonster! Also hugs to the several of us where this is the first Mother’s Day without ours.

I’m about to go drive over and see a friend and her toddler for dinner. Tbd if I will also later meet a different friend for another attempt at viewing aurora.
