I'm suspecting that what I've been parsing as 'some kind of long-term mild depression' is a situational effect resulting from being completely exhausted. The effects are similar to a depressive episode -- tendency to stay up too late followed by hypersomnia, difficulty focusing and getting things done, generalised anhedonia -- but instead of 'I can't wake up' sorts of hypersomnia it's the mild (but identical in effect) 'I could get up, but there is no reason on earth to actually bother with doing so'.

It's a good thing that I have Friedman killfiled, because otherwise I would have just gotten lots of ugly all over rasfc, and that's no good for anyone. He has now moved himself into the same category as Rosemary: "That sort of evil that destroys community in order to implement a profoundly defective utopia which is appealing only to itself", more or less.

I am tremendously amused by the Trader Joe's frozen French onion soup, which I picked up a while back and hadn't tried yet. I opened up the box, and what fell out into my hand but ... a shrink-wrapped cylinder of ice, with cheese cubes arranged at one end. I just find this hysterical. Also, slightly difficult to extract.

I still hate writing conclusions.

Rosemary? There must be a story here.

Not much of one, really. Just a meddling bitch who thinks that the group is far to meeeeeean to people who spam it with things that she thinks really ought to be on topic, despite the charter and the FAQ. Who also thinks that her insults are polite because she doesn't (shock, gasp, horror) swear.

I'm convinced, after much reflection and weighing of evidence, that she has Good Intentions.

I find it interesting how people can see things so very differently that even striving for the same goals they come up with opposite actions. "Interesting" in the allegedly-Chinese-curse sense, but still, there's got to be a book or three in it.

I do like "profoundly defective utopia".

Oh, I'm quite convinced she has Good Intentions.

The pavingstones will be gorgeously arrayed according to finest standards of superior perspective, I'm sure. It will be a glorious road.
