Supernatural 9.01 spoilers
I'm even going to be an asshole and not use a cut because the two only people who read this journal and watch the show have already seen the ep in question ( Read more... ) -
I am officially an adult.
Hosted my first dinner party, which was a rousing success, if I do say so myself. I'll have to plan the menu better next time--everyone ate something, but not everyone could eat/cared to eat everything.

On a clear day, you can see forever.
We had a cold snap yesterday, after what has been one of the warmest and most gorgeous Seattle summers I can remember.

(I was stalled on Feb. 8th from when things got crazy working two jobs and then moving, and now the furthest entry I can get back to is on the 12th, even if I tell it individuals-only, and not comms.)

An excellent perspective on MLK, via kittikattie
We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of ( Read more... )
