I spent a good deal of my Christmas holiday cleaning out / organizing our office. I know, I know, I’m living the high-life!
I did a paltry amount of work on it on Saturday but yesterday Ivan pitched in to go through his papers and electronics and, save for a small pile each that needs to be sorted and filed, we’ve gotten most of it done.
We also hung up a piece of art in there that...

Oh, and after we finished watching “Company” I discovered that he had never seen “Singing in the Rain.”
NEVER.
I quickly rectified that situation.

poem: Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me...
I feel like I don’t have my Christmas Mojo this year. It just feels ordinary and, to make it worse, I keep buying presents for Ivan because I don’t like whatever it is I do get him. “Meh” gifts, everyone of em.
Democratic senator from Washington insults Alabama
kittivanilli:
“Dear Senator Patty Murray, Up yours. Very sincerely, The people of the State of Alabama”
That is the letter, word for word, I submitted to Ms. Murray, Democratic senator from the state of Washington. (Click here to submit your own.) It was in response to this quote she gave NPR’s All Things Considered: “I have stood on the line in Everett, Wash., where we have thousands of...

“According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs...”
– Plato’s Symposium (via yerawizardharry) (via demeterrising)
Dudes, NO. This is not the quote, and even if it WAS the quote, you’re totally out of context. I have to call this every time I see it. Sorry.
(via lemonadediary)
I think it’s actually from Hedwig’s Symposium.
Oh, dear lord, I just joined Facebook. This, after months of swearing I wouldn’t. I feel so dirty now.

poem: Harvest Moon
Under the harvest moon, When the soft silver Drips shimmering Over garden nights, Death, the gray mocker, Comes and whispers to you As a beautiful friend Who remembers. Under the summer roses When the flagrant crimson Lurks in the dusk Of the wild red leaves, Love, with little hands, Comes and touches you With a thousand memories, And asks you Beautiful, unanswerable questions. - Carl Sandburg

poem: Maybe
Maybe he believes me, maybe not. Maybe I can marry him, maybe not. Maybe the wind on the prairie, The wind on the sea, maybe, Somebody, somewhere, maybe can tell. I will lay my head on his shoulder And when he asks me I will say yes, Maybe.
- Carl Sandburg
