Lmao The Roots apparently played Fishbone's "Lyin Ass Bitch" for Michele Bachmann's entrance on Jimmy Fallon. Classless, but I can't hate on that.

Missing an important family member this week...wish NJ was closer to Texas.

This week's project is going to be prickly pear jelly. We have roughly ten hojillion prickly pears, so it's gonna take awhile...

Breakfast: biscuits, eggs, sausage, and coffee made on the stovetop. Yum.

Mom and dad call Lily my little sister, and, true to form, she won't leave my stuff alone and is a huge pain in my butt.

"I guess it's best to end a relationship the same way you start it: absolutely fucking tanked."

My wilderness experience is over. So glad to be back to civilization.

Whatever.

Me: "what's that dark spot on the wall?"Dad: "oh that's where that damned donkey's been scratching himself on the cabin"

Dear rooster that has been crowing since 4am and won't STFU: I'm lobbying hard for coq au vin tonight. Asshole.

I don't think I've ever had a calm, relaxing trip home, this time is no exception...got up at 4am, sat on a 3 hour flight, another hour to get to mom an dad's, now we're driving 2 hours to build a bathroom in the cabin. Dad also thought I'd be able/willing to drive one of the trucks.Having overachiever parents really cramps my lazy-ass style.

I lived here for 23 years, you'd think I wouldn't be shocked at how gross it is even in November. Feels like walking into a mouth.

Happy birthday grandma. It's been 16 years, but we still miss you and love you <3

Gotta get up at 4:30am, guess it's maybe time to pack.

Listening to Rimsky-Korsakov's Russian Easter Festival Overture and trying to calm down.

Right this minute, rather than wishing I could sing Strauss or Wagner I am wishing Ravel was possible.

32,000 people marched in NYC yesterday (a number gleaned from police scanners, apparently) and the only thing in the news is "hundreds arrested."

"...need to go iron my shirt and gobble a trough of dicks"

Mahler Symphony #1 this morning.

I've been congested constantly since like August. First my head, now my chest. I'm over it.

Salome is getting every last little bit of enjoyment out of the antler chew :3

Awwww just saw a baby possum. Too bad I don't have Salome with me.

Who cares.
