"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Or maybe a little sad that things are at the point where basic human decency is a thing to get weepy over...I don't know.

I have Revlon's Orange Pop [link]

I had that and gold glitter last month. It looked like I'd dipped my hands in sunshine. And smelled nice too!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think I look better in orange than I would have expected. I get compliments when I wear it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Peach is as close to orange as I get, and I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear it. I'm a summer/winter mix--I can wear most pastels as well as jewel tones and black.

My mom's an autumn. She doesn't wear orange, either, but she looks terrific in yellow, gold, and brown, all colors I cannot wear at all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So recently, for work, I've been forced to read Twitter accounts, and I have discovered that part of the whole climate change denier thing is that they believe scientists have made it all up so they can get buckets of money to study it.

Because...there's so much money to be made in science?

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

Well sure. Why else does one go into science if not for the eight-figure salaries? (The drugs and girls too, I guess.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hello, Natterers!

I'm back from my annual 6 week disappearing act. I arrived home from northern MI early this week to discover that my home internet is not working. I suspect I may remain somewhat scarce until that is taken care of.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

This morning was complete adult FAIL that seems to have turned into a WIN.

As I was cleaning house last night I came across my vehicle registration post card (seriously, a post card) which showed my reg expired in May. Two and a half months ago. Total fail.

This morning I went to DMV to pay the fine and get things fixed up. Found out that while the post card said "No emmissions test required", my certification had run out between when the reg was due and now. So I paid for a 10 day permit and went to get the emissions test. Paid then $25 fr the honor. Then back to DMV to get my stickers.

And now the fun part. Adding up the permit, emissions test, late fine, and registration which adding 3 months to bring me current, I paid about $188. Looking at the post card, adding the reg cost on that plus the emissions test (which I would have to pay with my next reg anyway), and 1/4 of a year's worth of reg, I come up with $180. So I only paid an $8 fine for being two and a half months late? I'm confused. Happy, but confused.
