To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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

This debate I have with myself every Tuesday as to whether it will be easier to bring all my stuff home and WFH tomorrow or leave my stuff here and come into the office is harder to resolve than it should be

Thanks for the reassurance, Epic!

Our wings are not tired.

And for whatever reason Scrappy the cat has been super affectionate lately

Scrappy knows you aren't feeling well. When I am sick, Scully is all over me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Gud! I'm doing a couch flip in your honor.

No wait, I mean I'll get off the couch at some point in your honor.

Grey morning in SF, but I have a relatively uncomplicated day with good socializing ahead.

My TV issues resolved themselves while I was gone (I couldn't get any of my streaming services except Netflix), so I immediately popped over to HBO and watched the first half of the Paul Reubens /Pee Wee Herman documentary.

It was so good - particularly loved seeing all the footage of him at CalArts where he was very androgynous (early 70s) and beautiful and doing a lot of drag.

His classmates at the time included David Hasselhoff and Katey Segal.

Very sad and moving to see him with his longtime boyfriend who later died of AIDS, and talking about how he had been very out, but went back in the closet when he created Pee Wee.

Punishingly Intricate

Happy birthday, Gud!!

It’s pouring here and looks like it will keep raining for the rest of time?

Everyone was focused on the switch to electric cars, and we should've been investing in amphibious cars.
