There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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 have been to both those places! Only stayed at the former, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

When I think about it I argue both POVs in my head until I get dizzy and have to stop.

Me too. I can argue more than two sides even. It's all crazy.

Meh. I fly every week. Sometimes multiple round trips. And while I have no desire to be blown up by terrorists, I can also think of many many ways to circumvent the TSA, and figure terrorists can too. So all the security theater, which differs at every airport and every trip ("no, you can't have even a tissue in your pocket...to go through the metal detector??" "your shoes have to not be in a bin! Your baggie should be by itself!"), that someone decided I should have the choice of radiation or gropeage, when neither will save me, makes me irked.

Oh, absolutely this. I don't think the theatre makes me safer.

I just don't know which option [cat posted prematurely] of the radiation versus grope. I don't think either make me safe.

Because books.

The landlords are replacing the roof, and the roofers showed up at 6:45. They started directly over our bedroom. ::weeps::

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hope Saturday is better for Dana and Tom.

Allyson, I hope the new kitty can safely be integrated into your household, as it seems he's adopted you.

I'm feeling a bit better today, so I'll at least be making pies for the early Thanksgiving dinner I've been invited to. amyth will be going, so I could probably ask her to take them even if my fever comes back so contagion worries keep me home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Randomly, I jusr heard someone on the TV say "short lived" with a long i. Is that how you're supposed to say that??

I have never heard it said like that. Maybe if you were talking about something with a short life?

I discovered as I was about to go out and do many errands this AM that I seem to have lost my transit pass. Even if they have my pass, the transit lost and found is open 8-4 Monday to Friday. How inconvenient. By the time I could get there, the month will be over.

I'm still hoping it will turn up magically somewhere in my house...but I doubt it.

Last night I did find a receipt I had been looking for for about a week...I guess the universe is trying to keep my karma in balance.
