"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

She and my stepdad just got back from 2 weeks in Scotland, so I feel like there's a story she isn't telling us about falling in with the punk scene in Edinburgh.

I need that story and you need some Docs!

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Last night I dreamed I was in a vacant lot in Manhattan, and I found all these Christmas presents lying around, and it turns out it was supposed to be an art installation by some other artist, who never appeared in the dream, yet somehow I knew all about him. I was arranging the artwork in the lot, and then I noticed that they were about to start construction, so I found a different vacant lot to set up the arrangement. And then people started coming in and enjoying the art, yet still I felt melancholy and lonely, I guess because I felt underappreciated.

Our wings are not tired

I very rarely remember my dreams.

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

My sympathies for stressful dreams. I hate waking up all worn out and upset after those, the opposite of rest

Yay docs! Imagining Teppy's mom combining yoga and head-kicking is amusing me

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I remember that my last dream of the night/morning was low-key stressful, but not why. I woke up with a racing heart and a feeling of "I need to get back in there and figure it out," but no memory of what it was that needed my figuring.

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

My last vivid dream was Ethan insisting fervently that we had to move to Hartford CT, and me asking him variations on "But why? What's there?" and not getting any satisfactory answers. I have ZERO idea where this came from.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Since I know dcp likes to track flights we're on DL 2054 tomorrow. Delta 9:30am SFO to LA.

I haven't packed but it's only for a weekend so I'm not worried and I've done this particular trip so many times.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Hah!

(SFO-->LAX departing at 0930...I'm seeing that listed as DL1421. Interesting.)

I'm alert to either possibility now!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Last night I dreamed about having a family get-together at an aunt's palatial estate (which she does not own in reality) where my dad, my deceased cousin, and another aunt whose funeral I just attended were present. I had rigged up a model train to carry a Godzilla doll attacking a building as entertainment for the kids.
