"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh no, msbelle! Hope you feel better soon. I'll keep in touch with you re: coffee.

aurelia, the fb algorithm is deeply mysterious to me, but it does seem to Marcie people for sure. Like, the more you interact, the more you see. But I dunno, and I just went through in a fit of pique and demoted a bunch of people I don't actually know that well.

First few tour dates went reasonably well, and now the SO is on his way to Texas. I'll shop, then have a few days hanging out w/ my friend at her farm before I head down to join him.

Brenda and I are off to take a boat tour to las Islas marietas. If we die, that's where we went...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I guess kids young enough to compete in a spelling bee are probably too young for Avenue Q? Because after that show, I will never misspell schadenfreude again. (In fact I was singing along as I typed that.)

Totally where I went, too!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This was the grownup spelling bee! We are all plenty old enough (and the coworker hasn't seen Avenue Q, either).

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

Schadenfreude always makes me think of the German foosball player saying "If only there were a word that describes the joy I get from your misfortune" on Community. I know how to spell it mostly from taking German in high school.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I first heard the term schadenfreude on an old episode of The Simpsons, where Lisa explains its meaning to Homer.

This makes me feel old.

I have blisters on my fingers.

I am unreasonably annoyed that an article in the Vallejo paper mentions kiwis as something you can't get at farmer's markets because they aren't locally grown when I know there is a kiwi farm in Suisun Valley. Tsk.

Because books.

Everything about workflow and assignments in my office has changed in the last two days, and we're using the crappiest, clunkiest software to manage the documents. And I have to learn All New Things.

Blech.

Am I correct in remembering that some study or other found that sleep deprivation contributes to errors in judgement and specifically overspending?

Currently tempted by Groupons for paintball, wine tasting, and "Victorian-style tea".

Eta: I'm sorry, Amy. Learning All The Things is always kind of daunting, clunky software can't help.
