Brel, La Valse a Mille Temps. I got it right exactly once after several hours of practice on a road trip, and lost it immediately after.

Is there some sort of Australian special day going on? The embassy a few blocks over is having a firework party.

Four different jobs paid me all in the same day so I am struggling against the urge to buy myself something fancy. That's gas and food money.

Getting out my atlas and duffel bag and opening my travel drawer where the camping accessories are stashed, today is finally Plan The Summer Workcation Road Trip Day.

Left engine mount is bad and the back shocks leaked out, mechanic will fix it by tomorrow. I wish my dad had been a car guy, I would have loved to learn how to repair a car. I can change my bulbs and put the spare on and that's about it.

Oh, sure, car, sure, start making a rattling noise three days before I have to take a work trip. You JUST had a checkup, that better be the loose fender and nothing more.

My sister keeps calling me for help with spiders, either to evict one from under her bed or to help her get through a Spiderman level.

Hm, which of the five books I bought in January and never managed to read shall I bring to the beach next week? ...probably whatever has the largest print, my eyes are definitely getting worse.

I found some childhood friends in the basement...

Resubbed to Disney just for King of the Hill, which I used to watch sporadically when it was on tv. I did not appreciate how good the animation actually was back then! Now I have the entire show to enjoy before seeing what they did with the reboot :)

The Catholic Church is a grossly outdated institution promoting unrealistic standards of the past. At sermon today the priest mentioned using Skype to chat with your loved ones.

Do I want a rainbow picnic blanket for the beach or am I gonna worry all the while about some douchebag getting homophobic about it...

This little goth is going to be a lovely butterfly.

You know that thing where two people are so comfortable with each other they can just sit for hours without talking? I have never had that, sounds like a nightmare. Either interact with me or go away.

Ever get excited about a cool thing and know that any minute that excitement can turn into anxiety for no good reason? Sometimes I crave apathy.

Made an even worse mistake and discovered the music of Daniel Norgren😢

I saw a car the other day with a Serenity decal, a Firefly specs sign on the side and a SHINY license plate, and for a moment I was back in those halcyon days before a lot of people turned out to be dickheads.

Oh we have a contestant, it's half an hour to midnight and this boy sends me overdue assignments. Nope. I'm sorry dude but no. The final is at 8 am tomorrow, you didn't have the grades to qualify, I am a nice dude but I gotta draw the line somewhere. I am not opening your email.

Made the mistake of listening to a Cohen song and now there's a particularly poetic line relentlessly gnawing on my brain.

Graded all the papers...final exams tomorrow, if any of the students who didn't qualify due to lack of grades dare to approach me and ask to be admitted I will....try very very hard not to cave. I'm too soft for this job.
