A freak and a geek, a glitch and a bitch, full of darkness and dreams. Happiest among animals in a forest under a full moon.
Classic.

Is Cheech & Chong's 'Santa Claus and His Old Lady' the best Christmas song? Yes, yes it is.

And it makes me want to start a Santa Claus & His Old Lady Commune.

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life

We had set up our tree altar for the season and decided to take a few pictures.

I think this was one of the last pictures of Elvira (black lab / pit mix). Siskiyou was not happy having be near Vivi and Elvira was just trying to be a good girl. Ferdinand was his usual oblivious.

Currently rereading a book series about a magical medical examiner and a police detective. In this book they have to (a bit reluctantly) solve the murder of a businessman who sold faulty sickness-prevention charms.

Feels a bit odd reading it right now.

Think I'm going to start putting down my little random thoughts occasionally (not all of them, because my Roomba-of-Thought never stops going).

Book scene made me ponder:
We are super sensitive to the smell of death. Majorly averse to it. Maybe that's to keep us away from things that have killed.

If you think Republicans are going to protect you against greedy corporations, reflect upon how upset they are that a rich CEO was gunned down in Manhattan compared to their total disinterest in your children being gunned down in their schools.

Leopard Geckos have the most interesting faces.

Merkita somehow manages to emanate sheer grumpiness from her baleful glare.

Elon Musk, worth over $500 billion, joined $2.3M-net-worth Senators (who earn about $15K a month or more along with top-tier health care) to brainstorm ways to trim Social Security for retirees surviving on $1,700/month. Compassion at its finest. Let that platinum plated irony sink in.
