I close tomorrow then have two days off. I'm alone in the house. I think I shall go to the LA Arboretum! I feel a little blue and I always feel better once I get outside with the green things.
Flippancy, properly applied, has entertaining results.
Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
Eight years ago right now, I was getting into a limo to go up to north Jersey to see David Cassidy in concert. This was the much-remembered night when I held hands with him while he sang 'I Think I love Yuo". I remember every detail. Now I'm 1100 miles away, living somewhere I hadn't yet heard of on that night. I've had 2 major relationships. Met my bff, and my bfh (best friend horse). Developed arthritis.
David had had 3 drunk driving arrests and a leaving the scene of an accident charge, gotten divorced, been in and out of rehab, and filed bankruptcy. It's been a long 8 years.

Can you hear me, Major Tom? I think I love you.
Downloading KOTOR 2 onto a linux system. If it and a few other older games work right then I'll start cutting down my use of Windows to a handful of more recent games and experimenting with the OS so I'm qualified to repair it or break it as necessary.

But they were doughnuts of darkness. Evil damned doughnuts, tainted by the spawn of darkness.... Which could obviously only be redeemed by passing through the fiery inferno of my digestive tract.

Being a stay at home mom is hard. I feel like I need a break from the baby...
Imo, being a sahm was terrible and terrific all at once. Find a play group or a mom's day out program or a daycare co-op, it will help. Motherhood is as draining as it is rewarding, but at least I get a break everyday now that I work and they go to school.
I want to be on my own but not antisocial. I am also thinking about how I want to get back to my book.
I'm not one to ever pray for mercy
Or to wish on pennies in the fountain or the shrine
But that day you know I left my money
And I thought of you only
All that copper glowing fine
