Honestly, probably only that I like dogs more than cats now when it used to be the reverse.

My life has been crazy, in a mostly unpleasant but not entirely unpleasant way, but I don’t think 10-year-old me would be surprised by any of those parts. It’s the more mundane stuff that surprises.

Oh shit, you just reminded me that I’ve been needing to buy a new couch.

You must watch very different movies than I do. I immediately envision something dank and dark with flickering lights.

Like in Primer, maybe.

Careful you don’t get shot (assuming you live in the US). I’m not even joking. Road rage shootings are very much a thing.

Obviously he shouldn’t have to run, but he’s not remotely too old. He’s sharp, has experience dealing with the political system (and succeeding), is extremely knowledgeable and insightful about the state of society, etc.

He doesn’t want to be a politician, though, so it’s a moot point.

Jon Stewart is not that old. He’s only 61.

Present and speaking similarly.

Also me, who just came back from the grocery store with a frozen pizza, four boxes of mac and cheese, and a bottle of whiskey.

Sure, but if we’re just talking a paragraph or two, it’s a lot quicker than a few pages.

Have you not learned to write essays in school? It’s a similar skill.

My migraines are actually usually without headache, just a lot of aura. That might sound not so bad, but it’s pretty bad.

They tend to start a bit insidiously, with a little bit of sensitivity to light and sound and, even more so, frequently changing or bright light and fast sound.

That’s when things start to feel overwhelming in my head, so if I’m not being obtuse, I recognize that it’s time to take medication. Sometimes my partner realizes it before I do because I’ll start covering my eyes and just mildly complaining about things being too bright or too much.

Anyway, at that point I take sumatriptan. It requires a prescription, but it’s not expensive. It works like magic for me.

Before I found sumatriptan, I would have to be in a dark, silent room with my head in a pillow.

Only in Scrabble.

I just deal with it unless it’s a migraine.

Probably the one where some strange artifact showed up and turned out to be highly radioactive, causing my skin to slough off.

The Last Unicorn

Good health. But alas.

Everyone should watch it once. Once is enough.

The person you are replying to did not imply that all Russians support Putin.
