I am up way too late, but I attended a kind of poetry reading tonight and I have no regrets. One of my high school friends set it up following the election, in order to give people a place to speak what was on their minds, and thanks to what seemed to be tireless promotion on her part (she looked pretty tired by the end of tonight) about fifty or ( Read more... )

I saw Moana tonight on a whim, and I really enjoyed it! Here's the trailer, if you haven't heard of it ( Read more... )

Oh, well! Last night I went to a shindig at my friend's house, because my brother and several other friends were also there, and even though I only meant to stay an hour or so, I ended up leaving well after 11, oops ( Read more... )

I'm feeling quiet and sleepy tonight -- sleepy because I'm up too late, again, and quiet I think because for me it was just a quiet day. Ironically today was that really busy shopping day that you see advertised everywhere; I'd actually forgotten. I came back to my house after work and finished the book I'd been reading for the past week (Crooked ( Read more... )

With regards to food, Thanksgiving is a holiday that's easy to side-eye; it's like a celebration of gluttony, and of course gluttony is bad ( Read more... )

I don't have a whole lot tonight. I've been getting to bed way-too-late much too often recently, for a variety of reasons, but it's not a good habit to keep.

Work was fine today, though there was an awful lot of urine going on -- you'd think with only 11 dogs in-house there wouldn't be many messes, but some of those 11 dogs are very messy puppers ( Read more... )

As you may have heard, police attacked a group of unarmed water protectors on Sunday evening at Standing Rock, North Dakota. I admit today is the first day I've been able to read about this and watch any of the footage (the cops claim they used fire hoses to put out the fires present on-scene; the footage instead shows those hoses being aimed at ( Read more... )

I worked two shifts at the shelter today, with about three and a half hours in between, during which time I lay in bed and read ( Read more... )

It snowed today, less than an inch but enough to turn everything gloomy and grey. I did not venture outside; I barely left my room. Sometimes, I have headaches.

I'm afraid I didn't do very much yesterday, either, besides finish the third season of Black Sails and then go to work. The evening shift is different now, with it getting dark so soon and ( Read more... )

Hello yes, I am tired but that is nothing unusual (*resists looking at the time*). Otherwise I am okay -- I sat on a bench outside the library today and people-watched, because it felt like a compromise between laying in bed watching TV and going around Being Active. I saw a person wearing a black leather jacket and rainbow hair -- rainbow! hair ( Read more... )
