Girl in Target runs up to a dress, then recoils and makes an "ugh" sound. Her friend: "What was the front like?" Girl: "just...not..successful."

In December my cat's meds were less than $4. Today they were $11. It's gonna be a mean 4 years... #arewegreatyet

In Michael's and a screaming toddler stopped, mid-meltdown, to stare me dead in the eyes and grumble "go away," and, honestly, I get it.

First attempt at making a stuffed toy. The woman who sat with me during my TMS treatments has a dog named "Caboose," so I made a little thank you gift for her. It's a little wonky, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Best part of snow week: snuggly little kitties leaching your body heat while purring so hard they drool a little.

Apparently some students threw some snowballs at cops, and the police retaliated by shooting them with tear gas and non-lethal rounds. #tallahassee

Today I choose to focus on the legacy of Dr. King. The communities he created, the change he incited, and the equality he strove for. Happy Martin Luther King Day. Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.

Some asshole brought his unleashed Belgian Malinois to the library. Pup is a good boi, but shouldn't his dad have him leashed in a public place? I worry for the puppers' safety.

You can tell Floridian undergrads have no cold weather clothes, because as soon as it gets chilly, the campus is covered in pajamas.

I gotta ask: is the McRib actually some kind of sketchy "daily special?" Like, are there all these freezers full of rejected beef about to expire, and every year or so they just grind it up, squish it into a shape vaguely resembling a rack of ribs, and sell it as a "returning favorite?"

Forget pubs, I want a book crawl: load up a pedal cab with my besties and go from store to store, just buying books and petting store cats and sampling coffee and pasteries from in-store cafés.

New 28 Days Later film uses Kipling's "Boots" as background music. A perfect example of the power of poetry when it's read aloud. 10/10, no notes.
