  4. Today's a good day to go to a comic book shop in Portland! I'm waaay behind on comic book reading, but your friendly neighborhood seller will be able to make some stellar recommendations.

  8. True fact: the first time I heard of a search engine was while I was taking a summer class with Selene. In fact, that class enabled me to use the Internet for the first time. Anyway, RIP Alta Vista.

    Yes, today is a date palindrome that hasn't come around in something like 900 years, but remember also that every day you live has never happened before and once it is gone, will never happen again. Every day can be a special day.

    J and I are planning on moving in spring and are looking at neighborhoods. We'd like to live somewhere less white (as much as is possible in Seattle). J: The problem is that I really like white people food. A: You did get extremely excited when you saw a Wendy's last weekend.

    I am not obligated to explain myself to everyone on Twitter. It's not a missed opportunity; it's a deliberate rejection of the notion that I owe an individualized explanation of everything I say to anyone who demands one, and that I have to keep it up until they're satisfied.

    "What I did do, though, was watch three episodes of Desperate Housewives and drink an entire glass of wine, which I think most people would agree is more than enough research [into what it's like being a middle-aged white woman.]" 😂😂😂

    You could tell me that 73% of making bobbin lace involves witchcraft and I'd totally believe it.

    The nice thing, though, is that I'm spending more time leaning on doctors and less time having panic attacks because I'm unable to focus on writing.
