Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Oh, that all sounds really good! The transit sounds similar to when I took summer classes in Berkeley commuting by BART from Lafayette, but faster, and that was quite pleasant and felt so much more grown up than when I was just walking from dorm to lecture hall during the year.

Oh, Hec, that sounds just amazing! I am so thrilled for her. I can't wait to hear tales! Do you suppose she'd maintain a blog just for the Buffistas? (Kidding. Mostly.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm so excited for Matilda! What an incredible experience she'll have.

If I haven't mentioned it yet today, the basement/foundation repair company is still at our neighbors' house. I'm beginning to think that they aren't repairing a hellmouth; maybe they're trying to conjure one.

lol, I don’t know how many of you are on TikTok, but it’s been pretty funny all the “welp, it’s been a good ride, where to next?” Today I saw one that said “y’all this is how the firefly universe starts—we all migrate to RedNote and learn Chinese swear words from regular people!”

Aw, man. Laura made a point of asking me to come here to wish The Nicest a Happy Birthday yesterday on her actual birthday, and I completely blew it! So...

Happy Birthday +1, msbelle! I wish for you a fabulous year ahead, filled with all kinds of good. May the good you do in the world come back upon you a thousand-fold.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Yes, Jen, exactly. On both fronts....
