We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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

Buy more pillows? That's why I have a ton of plain white pillowcases, so I can have more than two pillows on my bed.

Or use them to dust if you really don't need them for pillows. Also can be handy for ad hoc cat containment - having claws inside the fabric and just a head poking out can be useful.

I actually had a voice in my head telling me to just go ahead and eat the pudding now (and/or the pumpkin ice cream that I bought at the same time) because my freezer is too full, but I'm not at all hungry. So it's a win for rational decision making, thawing it for breakfast.

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

I should be asleep, but my sinuses are being stupid and my ears are crackling and I don't like it. And all the medicine that I'm taking for it has made me feel kind of woozy, but not actually tired.

Ugh, do not like any of those alone and certainly not all together.

Punishingly Intricate

We were pretty reasonable on NYE but then had a blow out last night here in Reykjavik and now I'm more hungover than I've been in years. And today is going to be so long. Ugh! Bad decisions, self, really bad. At least the other 3 I'm traveling with made the same bad decisions as me so we're all feeling like hell on toast.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oooh, what are you doing today, lisah? Exploring the back country? Steam prospecting? The blue lagoon is a little touristy, but it's great for a hangover.

Floating around in hot springs does seem like an excellent treat for the hungover.

I hope the communal bad decisions made for fun times last night, lisah! Drink lots of glacier water and keep an eye out for elves.

Bread Pudding: if the serving size is 1/6 of the tray, why do the heating instructions tell you to cut it into 8 slices?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Open sing tonight. Nothing else on my agenda today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Trickery and confusion!

I'm sad because movie times don't line up well with my massage time, and need to return a couple of things in between. Or maybe before, but the timing would be tight. If I really hustle, I could do The Big Short at 4:40, but really I want to see Spotlight, and that's 6:15. I guess I'll plan for that and see if I still feel up to it when the time comes.

Oh, thanks for the reminder, seeing a movie was a thing I was thinking about doing today! I should check times.
