Just last night I started reading The Ends of the World: Volcanic Apocalypses, Lethal Oceans, and Our Quest to Understand Earth's Past Mass Extinctions, by Peter Brannen. Little did I know then how apropos it might be to today. HA.

HAHAHA

HA HA

Sigh.

The day after the Republican party announced its nominee for the 2016 election, I finally went ahead and listened to the soundtrack to Sondheim's Assassins. It helped the way an ice-cold shower helps on a hot day.

Might be time for another listen.

Over the past couple of days, I have told two separate friends on LJ that I hope to live long enough to see Potatohead's and McConnell's funerals. It is a terrible thing, but I am not sorry I said it.

Mmm, Sondheim ...

I had a hard time understanding all the whys of the situation that summer, and listening to it - especially "Another National Anthem" - somehow put it into a context and framework I could fit inside my head.

It's not terrible to want to outlast your enemies.
