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

When you guys were talking about places in Clifton I went to google maps to see if any of those matched up with places I remember. They didn't, but I discovered that the entire block between my apartment and the campus is now empty! Taco Bell, Boston Market, and the bar we hung out in (Over the Rhine, I think) are all gone! There's just a grassy lot.

That which does not kill you should RUN

the bar we hung out in (Over the Rhine, I think)

Inn the Wood? That was by Taco Bell. And I surely spent a lot of time there. Yes I did.

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

I need to work out a way to watch that movie once a day until it doesn't make me cry any more. Or fall in love.

information libertarian

They are actually now building something in that big grassy lot - a new student-apartment complex with shops on the ground floor and parking underneath.

What years were you there, aurelia? I lived on Ohio Ave. in 1995-1996, then moved to the Gaslight.

Maybe. I don't remember. NoiseDesign might remember. eta: That does sound familiar.

I was there 96-97. I lived in that U-shaped building on McMillan right across the street from that lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

huh Incredible Hulk will not download and Iron Man is not available as a rental, only a purchase. BOO. Same with Capt. America. Netflix is totally failing me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And at some point I will post pictures

Once again from the cheap seats non-FB participating (I have an account, I just don't use it), thank you from my heart's bottom for posting picture links. Even links to FB, I can clock in, peek at pics and clock out. If you say, "pics up on FB" I won't trawl my FB feed searching, so links is good. Those who post links to other photo sites, thank you, too.

Is there a psychological condition called fear of face blindness? I think I have it. No, I know I have it. I have been afraid that I'll forget what my parents look like for decades. It's literally the most stupid thing that scares me--I rate it as more stupid than my fear of slavery and alligators. Because those could just happen, if my luck turned really sour. Face blindness would be bad luck and a brain injury. Which just seems extra.

I can't explain that quantification in the slightest. Yet it seems pretty plausible to me...

I do hope that by the time I get dementia my parents are dead, so it's not an issue. I will assume the person in the room who matches my description is my sister, and I don't really care about anyone else so much.

msbelle, we got Thor and Iron Man 2 on Netflix streaming through Roku. We had to rent Iron Man 1 Norton's Hulk, and Captain America on disc.

I think I can get IM1 and Hulk from Red Box down the street, but leaving the house was not in my plan for the day.
