On Democrats

"There is a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy. Of course the Democrats are disappointing---that's what makes them Democrats. If they were any more frustrating they'd be your relatives. But in this country they are all that stands between you and darkest night. You know why their symbol is the letter 'D'? Because it's a grade that means 'good enough, but just barely.' You know why the Republican symbol is 'R'? Because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark."
- Bill Maher

I love Bill Maher. That is all.

Missing

I am losing stuff lately. Like all kinds of stuff. It's making me batshit, honestly. Stuff is just vanishing, from places it has no reason to vanish from. Stuff I don't take anywhere, stuff I have no reason to move around. I've been looking for a bag of dice for weeks, literally. I wake up in the middle of the night and think of places to look, but I have looked absolutely everywhere, even places I know aren't big enough for it to be. Today it's a particular pen I had plans for. It's not one I use, it's still in it's box, so there is no earthly reason it should be anywhere but here in my office. And yet... I've been looking for two days. This may be a small thing, but it's starting to make me feel like I'm out and out losing my marbles....
