Buffistas

Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Discussion Threads

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.

This too shall pass.

I literally did. In my defense, I was 18. (That's not much of a defense, but it's better than Trump's defense.)

Snort

I'm grateful I can just listen to music and books on the way to NY instead of being on verdict watch. Hoping to leave super early morning. We shall see.

Ah, guilty verdicts on 34 charges. It’s a nice day. Sentencing is scheduled for 3 days before RNC, so there are some nice optics for ya.

Punishingly Intricate

Just trying to enjoy this moment!!!

some covers are bad, too.

Yeah, I wondered what part of the book discussion Tom was reacting to...

Guilty is good. I'll enjoy it in the moment, though I have scant hope that anything will make a difference. I'm a poop head. Ignore me.

I'm currently sitting in the Warner Theatre about to see a live recording of the Stuff You Should Know podcast, which is one of the very first ones I started listening to. I find the hosts goofily soothing.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Tim loves Chuck and Josh SO much! He's going to be jealous!

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

Timelies all!

Guilty! Woo-hoo!

In other good news, my mom is back home. Hopefully one of the doctors she'll be seeing in the next few weeks can figure out what's going on.

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

On the book thread - I once encouraged a friend to read "The Game of Kings" and she hated it. Compared Lymond unfavorably to Wesley Crusher. Needless to say, I don't do that any more.

I used to rec "A Year On The Killing Streets", like, always. But everybody doesn't think that story about Jay Landsman and the slow leak is funny--to say nothing of the one with the pogo stick.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Aims, what are specials? Need to figure out if I need to add specials to my day...

Specials is Unified Arts - art, PE, music, Spanish, and science. All things everyone should have every day!

6 more days, y'all, AND THEN I AM FREE!! And for the first time in 10 years, I am not working this summer. I'm happy to say it's because I have travel and family stuff basically the entire month of July, but I'm trying not to freak out about money. Even though I get paid throughout the summer (I'm on the paycheck spread) (heh) and I do just fine during the school year.

And also grad school. I have classes on campus this summer. But there will be copious amounts of pool lounging.

And it's nice having an adult daughter who makes things like cheesy-bacon mashed potatoes.
