I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG I could not be any more gronky. I almost convinced myself not to get up, and to call in to work, especially because I'm 75% sure they won't have a full day of work for me. But no. I will go. Money is good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yay, money!

Yeah, yeah. Yay money.

Is there a way to say the opposite of "gronkier"? Because that's what I'd like to post, but I don't have the English and the slang.

For the record, I'm here on the weekend, and Sunday is a fast and I'm already getting thirsty from just thinking about it, so I may not be the right person to ungronkify a person. And "ungronkify" is not even the word I was looking for on the former sentence. Hmm. Maybe "chocolate" is the word.

Huh, that's a cool link. Oddly, for my hometown in New Mexico, they don't list "Hispanic" as an option.

Also amusingly, the median age is 40. The distribution is heavy on the 80. Which I could've told you - it's a great place to be born and a great place to die, nsm a great place to live.

Median income, $28,000.

"Chocolate" really should be a verb.

Chocolate simply should, just, well, be. In whatever shape and form and grammar. Zen chocolate, in a way.

Indeed.

OK, well, just saying hi. Long holiday weekend here, so y'all have fun and be safe. (waves)

Gronklies!

I was very gronky indeed this morning, so much so that I was just this side of dizzy. However caffeine, acetaminophen and food, and a dose of last night's Daily Show ("This Week in God" -- always a great segment) have rendered me at least passably coherent....
