I did indeed order Totoro and Catbus planters. International shipping is a lot, but the heart wants what it wants.

If there's a dystopian future ahead, China will collapse well before the West does.

That's so interesting, billytea. I knew something about the pollution, but not the rest.

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

It is stupid cold in my office. It's not raining on the inside of the windows like last winter, but I think that's only because it is too dry...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not sure what to make of it cropping up in both books. It feels a bit Japan-in-the-Eighties, which isn't entirely comfortable.

Yeah, I don't know what the word is -- the opposite of jingoistic? -- but there's definitely something there.

It always amazes me that elites don't seem to realize that they drink the same water and breathe the same air as we plebians.

I forgot my goddamned lunch and I *really* don't want to leave the building if I don't have to!

Buffista Island!

Is... that still going to be there in 30 or 40 years? It looks really small, and really close to current sea level...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I finally was able to get ltc to take a nearly hour long nap in crib after checking on her 8 times and flipping her back onto her back each time to try to convince her it was not tummy time. This might be my new exercise program.
