I'm letting J. sleep late today. He conked out on the couch in a ridiculous posture all night with the lights on and that can't have been restful.

This is my way of buttering him up to take me to the fabric store. I need new buttons on my brown coat and I've been putting it off for too damn long. He can't really complain, though, because there's a nice aquarium shop next door and he can go look at turtles and feed the koi while I browse.

My face looks florid lately. Ugh. I've been as per usual avoiding the sun (*hissssssss*) and I haven't changed my skincare routine and I have no history of rosaecea but I'm looking like a damn Oompa-Loompa and my mug doesn't match my neck.

The invisible hand made whole.

Trust not in things that lie beyond the realm of our senses. In darkness, the invisible and the black are one, and the only principle that governs their action is omerta.

docmanhattan comments on a dubious metaphorical claim in ads for Coleman camping gear:

You didn't really invent "social networking" either. Camping can be social, but it's the exact opposite of a network. If there were a trail in the woods where I would randomly run into people from my past, who would then shout what they were doing every so often, believe me when I say: I would not hike that trail.
