You buried me right where I belonged and still I'm waiting there

How I have been doing this long weekend is not very well, in ways generically and specifically disheartening, but it has interested me to discover that while I have to do it by hand with pencil and paper, as if it's muscle memory rather than mental recall, I can still scan classical Greek sufficient to fake a Homeric epithet for our Hestia, slayer of towels: μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ τέκνου Ἥρας μακτροφόνοιο. (She sang to us earlier this evening of her triumph over the roll we were still using.) The attentive reader may note that I am relying heavily on both Attic and epic correption and an eighth-century audience would think I didn't know my theogony, but it makes me feel better.

As I said to [personal profile] spatch on Twitter, where he posted a wonderful short video clip illustrating her murderous rage, she was obviously saying, "If you must use paper towels, at least let me kill them for you first!"

She Cares About You. (But humor aside--what a sweetie!)
