I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I am not looking forward at all to the torturous school placement process of the SFUSD.
OMG, I remember when you were in the midst of that with Emmett. AND NOW HE IS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Unrelated to anything, I'm reading a newish Laura Lippman, with a pretty unflattering depiction of the people involved with a tv shoot, which I think is kind of funny, given that she's married to David Simon. t /random

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I called a guy out recently on repeatedly using queue as a verb. It was really weird coming from someone with an American accent. He said he'd lived in Amsterdam for a couple months. Which explained...nothing.

OK, new tropical storm forming off Africa. Name is Igor. Such a name brimming with good omens.
If NC has to get hit with a hurricane this year, I hope it's named "Igor." Hurricane Fran caused problems, but the name suggested sassy waitress more than 37 deaths and millions of dollars worth of damage.
