(no subject)

I'm loopy energetic tired at the moment, and that bodes ill for the rest of the day. A combination of getting a call from work at 1:00 AM (legitimate, actually), a growth spurt that makes it uncomfortable to sleep in my usual position, and an active (activating?) line of thunderstorms kept me up for an hour or more. I laid awake petting the Most Important Kitty in the World for a while, figuring someone should get something out of it, before eventually drifting off. The only thing keeping me going this morning so far this morning is the freakishly clear, blue sky that follows storms and loud, loud music (M.I.A, Louis XIV, and Peaches). I anticipate falling asleep on a bench by the stream today at lunch.

my love for Austin, TX grows a little more

If you look at the abortion debate as about forcing women into passive roles instead of as about some vaguely defined view of “life”, then a lot of otherwise ridiculous stances make perfect sense.
