Because books.

Didn't need to say it twice.

ita, I think I am not interested in cluttering my google voice account with my own voice memos.

I don't mind having a separate number.

not your mom's socks.

The wolf hoodie. And then we had to go back to Beyonce of course.

as one does. Entirely logical. I've done the same.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I guess the nerdiest thing I've done today was attend a talk about "Forgotten inventions of the Victorian era" at Darkovercon.

Wow, that wolf hoodie is frightening.

I had decided that since I don't have to attend any Christmas parties, and it's not a big eating holiday for my family (as in we don't have a big traditional meal I want to gorge on, though we'll probably have a nice one), that I should re-start my diet and exercise plan tomorrow. This is in peril due to finding speculoos spread at Trader Joe's. I want to go buy it. WANT.

In other news, I sent a drama-provoking but possibly necessary and totally awkward email to my umfriend who visited. It was not the most awesomest visit ever, and I'm unclear if that should be a "ok, tried that, failed, let's give up" or a "let's try again and be better at being more awesome". And I know I can't unilaterally decide the latter, and I'm not so sure the former isn't a better idea anyway. But I'm loathe to give up on possibility.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I am not interested in cluttering my google voice account with my own voice memos

So you have a number dedicated to voice memos?

I only dictate them so I can have the transcribed text in the cloud, NSM the audio.

We need to do that with our cable bill.

Cable bills are a bitch. Who's good at that? Vortex? I don't think I've ever gotten shit, and now I realise I don't remember when my HBO introductory period runs out. I need to go back into my files/the TV listings and see when I signed up. Starz was just ridiculously expensive. I should keep an eye out for a special there.

Kat, do you think if Noah were older he'd make Grace play and be Vader? Or am I just a bad person for thinking that? Because I would totally make my sister with a trache be Vader *all* the time.

If you're a bad person so am I.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Playing Vader is a privilege not a punishment in our household. I do love that Grace's halloween costume was Darth Vader.

My favorite thing is that when she wants to sign Darth Vader, she signs brother and then does this intense, heavy breath through her trache.

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

Cable bills are a bitch. Who's good at that? Vortex? I don't think I've ever gotten shit, and now I realise I don't remember when my HBO introductory period runs out.

I think it might be Vortex and I need lessons although technically I am supposed to be dropping cable now that the racing season is over. But lessons might help me get a good deal when all I want is one ridiculously specialized channel. The rest is just baggage. Occasionally awesome baggage but baggage.

Kat, do you think if Noah were older he'd make Grace play and be Vader? Or am I just a bad person for thinking that? Because I would totally make my sister with a trache be Vader *all* the time.

I'd be a bad person too. Grace would be excellently evil and she could boss her brother around!
