Birthdays and other lies
Well. That was a pretty good birthday. I sent off the signed contracts to print Rita, and went to the bank and wired off half the money. Now I just need to double check that the PDFs are the right sizes and send those off to the printer. I could have done that today, but instead I got together with the ex-with-benefits, went out to a cafe and ( Read more... ) -
doom, it’s what’s for breakfast
Wake up. Succumb to crippling dread caused by reading the news before I'm even out of bed: Trump looks to be on track to have the financial sector regulated by total banksters. It feels like I'll be able to deal with this better after having breakfast, I know my blood sugar is low and that makes everything terrible forever, especially since I ( Read more... ) -
hoarding
My birthday’s coming up again. I think I’m gonna hit up eBay for another box of Mardi Gras doubloons to strew around my bedroom floor. Sometimes they stick to my bare feet, and as I kick them off I grumble at myself a little; then I grin because I’m complaining about my DRAGON HOARD.
Adding whimsy to my life feels really, really important right now ( Read more... ) -
more fucking politics
Hey so, you know how I grew up in New Orleans? And how Louisiana's been a super red state for years? This year, one of their Senate seats ended up in a runoff. With a Democrat involved who might have a fighting chance of getting it.
If you feel like donating to him, his site is http://www.fostercampbell2016.com. I already have. I might do some ( Read more... ) -
Things That Have Made America Great Before
So. Trump’s slogan is “Make America Great Again”. His transition team has set up a website that, among other things, invites people to submit suggestions for ways to Make America Great Again.
Let’s see. What happens when I think of things that Made America Great in the past?
Hybrid vigor. America has always been a nation of immigrants. We are the ( Read more... ) -

Finally unfollowing someone you went to animation school with whose entire facebook presence for the past several years has mostly been right-wing memes is a nice feeling.
Yes yes I know reach out make bridges and all that but uuuuugggghhh.
And thus Hippie Liberal America continues to widen the gap between itself and Broke, Betrayed, Angry Middle ( Read more... ) -
entropy continues
Well that was fun. While I was blearily showering the shelves I have in the tub broke. They’re one of those affairs with a series of triangular baskets on a tension pole; I probably paid like $20 for it five years ago when I moved in here so I can’t really complain.
Guess I’ve got a new thing on my task list today. But it is not going to take ( Read more... ) -
Happiness Systems
So regarding that earlier post about me being depressed: afterwards I thought, well, hello winter depression, it’s time to reassemble all the various systems I use to defend myself against you. They’d fallen apart.
Better snacking: I used to mostly snack on the Trader Joe’s “Tempting” trail mix. It had a picture of a couple of pensive cherubs on ( Read more... ) -
hello, depression
This weekend, I felt like shit. Sore throat, runny nose, I had a cold. So I spent it on the beanbag chair playing video games. I’d been invited to a party but “getting on a bus with a head full of snot for a half hour so I could go sneeze on people who are gathering to try and have some fun” didn’t sound like a good idea for anyone involved.
I got ( Read more... )
