It's just depressing, you know? This city I love, so broken in ways.
It makes complete sense to me, Sarameg.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

mazda.com informs me my car is due for its 10K service.
I haven't broken 2K yet (will shortly, but...) Heh.

My dad should be going home from the hospital. They did a cardiac inversion which seems to have gotten his heart going in a rhythm that works. It's -16 below at their house today.

Oh yay, Kat!
Why Somerville, which is just as diverse (economically and culturally) and dense as you can get doesn't have these kind of problems, I have no idea, truly. I just pray that whatever "they're" doing they keep doing.

A downside to having shortish hair: when I don't want to wash it, I can't put it in a bun. I can't figure out any way to hide it, short of wearing a scarf over my head all day which I don't think I can quite pull off.

I'm glad he's headed home, Kat.
This weather pattern just blows.

-t -- on the other hand, with short hair, you can sprinkle on some corn starch or talcum powder and brush it thoroughly through and out. That works surprisingly well, at least for a day.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I walked to the train station in the supposedly -35 windchill. I got kinda warm, so I guess I overdressed. The face mask made my glasses frost over so I took it off. Aside from that I was fine.
Eta: oops, windchill is only -26. That explains why I wasn't cold.
