I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I admit, I am pretty proud of that one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And you should be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OK, crazy thing here. Can a person develop synesthesia?

Lately I'll smell things when I see pictures of them. Not always, but frequently enough that its beginning to weird me out.

The other day it happened with Makers Mark. Just now it happened with Fig Newtons.

Now, bourbon is something I adore... but newtons, while a tasty snack, are hardly a passion. Neither are twinkies or vanilla, two other things I've recently smelled upon seeing pictures of them.

I smell it just for a second. I can't make myself smell it again. Maybe I was bit by a radioactive pregnant woman.

pontifical autonomenclature

Certainly prideworthy.

I'm going to do my level best to use that phrase in the next few days.

Maybe some day I will find out! That's an exciting thought.

I think I have heard of people developing synesthesia, Trudy, but I can't remember under what kind of circumstances.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Today, I managed to involve not only the librarians within the firm in my WTF project, but also Sparky

That was fun.

At least for me.

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

Isn't synaesthesia more like "7 is purple" and "that's the sparkliest of Beethoven's symphonies, as well as the most almond"?

It's also those. There are a lot of varieties. The colored letters and numbers sort is the most common, I think, but anything that crosses senses counts, I believe.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In updated non-pope!Suzi news, I am now in San Francisco. In a Starbucks to be exact, trying to transfer a file that wouldn't transfer over the airplane wi-fi. I'm so frustrated with this project (though it may be the key to me advancing a grade level) that I'm requesting some file-upload~ma.

Work is eating me from the bottom up. I had hoped to take tomorrow off to visit folks and old haunts, but I know I'm going to need to put in at least a half day and be a bitch about taking the other half off.

Thank heavens for the Buffistas for some sane (and insane) pope news.
