That Explains It (Well, Shit.)

Maybe the one that's been perpetually "Coming Soon!" for TWO YEARS at my local shopping center (and oh, how excited I was at this prospect; I do believe I may have salivated) has an actual fiscal reason for the hiatus.

Whatever, as long as I get my store. There's another location that will be even more convenient for me, and it's already built, now all they need to do is place machines and bodies in it so I can throw what little disposable income I have right down their registers.

Oh.

Memento mori.

Clouds do not have silver linings. Clouds cast shadows upon the ground, and on the ground we suffer under them, and then it rains. Insult, injury, endings.

To remember that we are mortal?

She used the h-word.

Very few of my people use this word, this h-word, and it is a very powerful word that gives me much happy buzzings AND SHE USED IT AND.

Oh.

Srysly.

Okay.

Read three more articles for the new attack direction I'll need to take as suggested by the Turnley/Bolino findings of '01.

Still trying to kludge through Snyders' 70's papers; I don't like his style. *Whine whine.* His premises fascinate, his findings illuminate, but ow ow ow, the style, it pains me.

So. Sorta a third of the way there.
