Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I have gone shopping! Not sure how I'm fitting everything in my suitcase, but that's a Future Me problem. Other than something I need to order on Amazon, I should be done with Christmas shopping. Any shopping I do after this will be purely selfish.

I've ordered room service, so once I eat, my remaining task is writing.

Went to a party last night, and I had to flee after an hour.

I don't know why people think parties are the best. Fleeing after an hour is usually what I do.

Also had a dream about Chris Hemsworth breaking up with me. No fair, subconscious, making me go through that without first dreaming about sex with Chris Hemsworth!

Unfair!

One time, I had a dream where I was the Denisof/Hannigan marriage therapist. What the fuck, subconscious? (It was such a boring dream. My subconscious apparently only ever gives me gross and icky sex dreams, never good ones.)

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 rarely have sex dreams, but when I do they kinda' annoy me. I end up thinking, "This should feel really good, but it doesn't."

I just realized that I will be in Vegas in two months, which means I need to go swimsuit shopping. I'm wanting a tankini type thing, and I'm braving the mall tomorrow to see what might be immediately available. What/who do my people recommend for fat woman swimsuits?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

People in my office are just going to keep doling out leftover Halloween candy for months.

My coworker mentioned today that her husband believes men are discriminated against. And I have a relative on FB who's incensed that the New Orleans City Council voted to take down four statues of Confederate leaders.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My mother just asked me, "Are Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker both from Star Wars? Are they related to each other?" I'm not sure whether to answer her or go get the DVDs and make her watch the movies.

Jus don't tell her about Darth Vader being divinely conceived.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What/who do my people recommend for fat woman swimsuits?

At this time of year, your best bet may be in a large department store. (That's just a guess; I've bought my swimsuits online for the past many years.)

Good luck with the job situation, sarameg.

I hope all the overworked, over-scheduled, and overwhelmed get a good break soon.
