I admire people who resist the social pressure to just go along with things, 'cause I probably would have failed the Milgram experiment.

Yeah, good one.

Weekend plans: I'm currently watching the TV ( drunk Bailey is killing me!), have plans to get my nails done tomorrow (+ errands), and possibly karaoke tomorrow night.

Still a bachelorette this weekend. I WAS planning on gardening, but it's supposed to rain all weekend, so I am going to do laundry and write. Going to the movies on Saturday and have to work on Sunday. Also missing my husband.

I do understand that when you just want to get through and move on, anyone who slows things down gets an eyeroll because, ugh. But I think there's a difference between the people who are just clueless and the ones who say "No, actually, this is not okay, and here's why."

I assume part of the thinking behind the whole opt-out thing is not just to be a pain for TSA, but to slow things down so that more people will be upset and potentially complain about this, rather than blindly going along with the system.

I will be hermitting and hiding my head this weekend.

Bon, Burrell has volunteered to help me out with my med pickup Sunday. Thanks!

What are people doing this weekend?

Didn't get to any decluttering activities today so hopefully some of that. Also hopefully getting books and other things up on Craig's List or Amazon or Ebay so that I can sell stuff off while people are shopping for holiday gifts.

Rain is also predicted here.

What are people doing this weekend?

Tomorrow I start my drive down the coast, with the eventual destination of chez PixDesign for Turkey Day.

This weekend I'll be at Asilomar, in a historic lodge designed by Julia Morgan (the architect of Hearst Castle), and then down in San Luis Obispo at the crazy Madonna Inn, where every room has a different theme. I'm staying in this relatively sane nautical-themed room, but this pink option was my second choice.

Or perhaps not so much slow things down as provide an example on hand that they can object to the system and make themselves heard in a peaceful manner.

However, if they slow things down, they have done so in a highly inconsiderate manner. Flying is stressful and the screening process is bad enough. Your objections to it shouldn't lengthen it for other people. That's just fuckery, sacrificing their experience for your message.

Tom, I'm sorry therapy was so rough for you. I hope good comes of it. Treat yourself gently.

Healing-ma to you grandmother, Dana. What awful timing.

msbelle, grrrr! I want to wave a stress-reducing wand over your.

tiggy, my tumblr is owltlet.tumblr.com I would also love to check out people's tumblrs.

My onerous task for the day was calling to try to get a postponement for a court date for this ticket I got last week; Dan has the car, and we won't get paid till the 30th. The lady said the judge would just send me a letter with a 2nd appearance on Jan. 4, and I would have to pay a $10 fine. No warrant or anything.

Onerous task outcome: Positive.

I had an interview today, too. Cross your fingers for me.

What are people doing this weekend?

Everydamnthing. At least I got the upstairs vacuumed and mopped tonight. And Lokes walked. Have to do a major declutter and clean down here. And laundry.
