Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Oh my good god, SNOW. This town is so unprepared for storms like this. There's just not enough *room* -- the borough dates back to the early 1700s, when you were parking your horse in a stable, not your car on a street.

That's it for winter, right? We're done now?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's it for winter, right? We're done now?

I believe that it's up to Mr. Groundhog to decide, next week.

Given the host of this mtg has not appeared and is under the contract with admin leave, I think this meeting is not happening.

Punishingly Intricate

Whatevs, you showed up and can charge the time!

I went out and shoveled for a while, then walked the dog. There's not actually that much more for us to shovel to connect up with what the construction company has plowed in the perpendicular alley. My arms/shoulders/back aren't up to doing it though! Other neighbors are out there, though, and Bob will be after his last meeting and teamwork will get it done!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

if I can't see it, it doesn't exist

I've always been that way. I can erase entire rooms full of stuff from existence by just not looking through the door. Observer-created universe, baby.

I feel better today. But it won't last. Maybe a couple days. I usually get two-three depression-free days a month. I'd like an solution to this better than "hormones" and a vague hand-wave.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

The bad: my alarm switched time zones on me and went off at 5am because it's a hateful electronic, I skinned my thumb once I got to the office, and I'm covering for people out of office so the next few weeks are going to be rough.

The good to know: I just learned there's a Goodwill donation spot down the street for the next time I cull my wardrobe.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

We're going to have to sell our house, because it smells like a GIANT poo. I am looking at you, Kato.

You won't get any money for poo-scented house, Steph. You'll just have to burn it down and collect the insurance money, I'm afraid.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Poo hide and seek is not a fun game.

Not sure if I've mentioned it here or not but my elder cat has decided she doesn't like the litter box anymore. Instead, she likes the bathtub. Which, all things considered, is a workable if annoying alternative. Much better than potty roulette. I just crack up cause she tries to "cover" her business by scratching at the tub. Such a fun sound.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Have you ever wondered what my biggest nightmare is? I didn't know, until I read this article in the NYTimes: [link] Not the headline, the whole thing. The whooooole thing.
