Have you ever heard the theory that every story in this world has already been written? It sounds very Yuuko's-magic-shop-like to me. I think the various xxxHolic themes have changed so there isn't just one anymore but I am not sure...
The first OP was called 19sai then I think there was a second one but I didn't keep track of the anime as closely ( Read more... )

It just came into my inbox!

It says 16 areas in my township lack or have insufficient stormwater drainage. (I don't know out of how many and would have to research that on a different website later which means probably it won't happen since I have been wrestling with my cat, who is surprisingly strong for her size.)

Well, actually I am too sleepy ( Read more... )

But the truth is, not much. I can pick out a "not" and a "year," but that might be close to the sum total of my recall as of yet.

What I think might be helpful for other people might be finally translating it, though.

Tilly is curious but I don't think the cat hanzi is there. She looks at it in such a hopeful way and even gurgled at it a little bit ( Read more... )

It's strange - it feels like when I don't have those particular problems that everyone else has, I'm still a problem person.

For example, what are bunions?
Wikipedia suggests they are foot deformities. Ew, I'm within the typical age of onset, and it also says that females are affected more often than males.

I had thought about them when I was ( Read more... )

I poked my head out briefly to retrieve water from our rainduck - it had gotten to above the 5 inch mark on the little guage - and it smelled terrible.

I know that my house is just a little ways away from a waste management plant, but that wasn't what was in my olfactory organs today. I smelled burning cinders.

I hope my friend Shannon does not follow my mother's trajectory. I observed the photo she put on FB yesterday of a serious wasp sting she sustained. It is about this time of year that similar events had transpired for my mother. It seems somewhat different, so there is hope that my friend will get better. I could not give an answer, even though I ( Read more... )

There was an ad on FB to add your name if you were fighting for racial or gender justice, but I am not, at the moment, I am working on animal rights, so I decided my efforts were better spent elsewhere.

I am resting today, in any event, with a cup of partially chamomile and partially white tea, to recover from my brink-of-fever I had been noting to ( Read more... )

Tilly is resting against my leg. I think she is cold. I don't know where Cora, the other one, went. I put blankets on her and she started purring.

Today I watched with my father The Life of Brian, which I haven't seen before, past the musical clips at the end. I had never watched it in full because I heard it was a religiously subversive movie and ( Read more... )

Waiting for my e-library card to verify itself. I am pretty sure I told them 0144 to get in, but if it doesn't work, I will try 0521. (I'm not sure whether I went with telling them the last four of my SSN or my birth date.) It's taking a long time to load so I think it's the other one besides the one I chose ( Read more... )

I started a post asserting the Soviet Union would coerce me to go on from 2000-5000 words. As that half of the world collapsed when I was two *is part of living history!* I am writing the 1600-4600 other words here, hoping to improve my transitions!

( I can't tell how to transition here so I'm not. )
