Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh ick, meara, I hate that feeling.

Thanks. I'm feeling grumpy and lonesome, but not able to go interact with people. And there is not enough internets! Make more internets, people!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sick AND bored? No good.

I just spent almost 2 hours darning up my coat pockets (do you darn nylon?) And reinforcing some stitching on my swimsuit.

Goddamn, that took a long time for maybe 8". I really need to get a sewing machine.

The internet is pretty dead. So dead that I've started the Food For Thought course on edX: [link]

Edit: Which I am enjoying!

I hemmed pants last night and repaired a pair of K's krav shorts. Tonight, I helped Grace and Noah do their science fair project. We kept it simple (how maps work) and looked at why you can't make a sphere flat without having extra space on a map.

Uhg, thought I heard what might have been a quartet of gunshots a couple hours ago. Or ice or tree branches. Checking local crime reporter's tweets, homicide is working 2 blocks north and several over, the one with the jesus victorian under constant renovation on the corner I pass everyday.

This won't make national news, not like the Columbia Mall. Nevermind it is a fairly stable residential street on the cusp, nevermind it is #19 or 20 since Jan 1. It's just Baltimore.

Mutterings mutterings.

Ugh, sara. I'm sorry.

It's just depressing, you know? This city I love, so broken in ways.

(I don't know if I need to clarify this, but this doesn't elicit fear in me. It's not that. It's the complex and sometimes toxic brew of society's -isms on display.)

Yeah, I feel you. From here in a city that people on the South Side have taken to calling ChIraq.
