I feel the way she looks.

I want to watch the TV series “Thirty Something“. I don’t recall watching an entire episode since I was in my teens, but now it seems kind of interesting and pertinent to my life. (Bushy eyebrows and shoulder pads FTW!)
I heard Marianne Williamson say once that when you ask God into your life, you think he or she is going to come into your psychic house, look around, and see that you just need a new floor or better furniture and that everything needs just a little cleaning – and so you go along for the first six months thinking how nice life is now that God is there. Then you look out the window one day and see that there’s a wrecking ball outside. It turns out that God actually thinks your whole foundation is shot and you’re going to have to start over from scratch.
Can also feel as vulnerable as Gilbert in “Eat, Pray, Love” and as ruthless and unforgiving as the grandmother in “Still Walking.”
For some reason I can identify with May Boatwright.
I suppose from the last post it would seem like it.
When I die, I wish to be a rock and stand,
Unstained by any tint of compassion,
Unmoved by any sorrow or any joy,
Lashed by the wind and rain,
Whipped inward, ever inward,
Muted by a million years of inhumanity,
Till my life passes ino oblivion,
Becoming a floating cloud,
A thunder faraway.
I wish to be a rock,
Though dreaming, singing no song;
Though cleft in two,
Enduring it in silence.
-류치환 Lew Chi Whan (1908-1967)

Because monosyllabic Chinese names are too hard to pronounce for poll workers and the rest of America, a Texas representative, Betty Brown, suggested that Chinese and other Asians change their last names:

Maybe Brown can learn from another public servant, NY Senator Gillibrand?
What peeves me is not just the stupidity of the idea, but sincerely thinking you can legislate stupid ideas.
