It’s been an enraging day. 8pm bedtime might be good for me too. Maybe I will be able to navigate all this better tomorrow
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That’s sounding real good right now. Of course it’s just after eight already and I just made dinner. But in theory, I’m with you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Blacksmithing and glass blowing both sound awesome. I suddenly realize that the boring trip with my grandparents to the craft booths at Silver Dollar City when I was a tween would be fantastic now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I would go to a glass-blowing bar.
In New Orleans, in the Warehouse district, there's a big glass arts building with multiple furnaces going and you can stand in the mezzanine and watch them work. It's fascinating.
FaceTimed with Matilda today. (Technically she was speaking from tomorrow.). She managed to handle her own difficult scheduling situation (they had shifted her classes so she was completely isolated from everybody in her program, and all of her friends at the language school), so that's a big adulting win for her, and a helicopter parent email I don't have to write.
Tomorrow she is going with friends to Nara which has the famous deer park.
She mentioned that she and her friends were talking about doing a weekend trip to Tokyo (of their own accord - not a school side trip) and I was totally down with it. She's 18. She's got the money. They know how to use the trains. They just have to find a hotel. And she won't be traveling alone.
I've been busy with various social schedules and have a few pending RSVPs to consider. So I've been fine without Matilda here. (And in truth, I barely saw her when she was here since she was downstairs with her friends in the Garden Apartment most of the time.).
I've been on a really good streak of striking up conversations with people at the bar lately. Being the gregarious bastard that I am, that's like bonus points socializing.
Last week I had a friend visiting from Rochester, NY so I cleaned the house rather thoroughly (which it needed). Also got to do Happy Hour with JenK which is always a treat.
Right now, aside from some onerous tasks, I just need to plan my trip to LA for my friend Josh's Celebration of Life.
