So you can pretty much tell that I have been having a very weird go of it lately. The latest blow to my sanity is a lost wallet incident. So I’m not really in a great headspace. I feel like I’m living in a Russian novel some days. For those who know, this presents existential issues in the current climate. I just don’t know what the hell do do some days. On the other hand, binging Tales of the City on Netflix has been a pretty great way to spend the weekend.
But first, a word from our sponsors ...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
All of which leaves me feeling a bit out of place to be honest. I feel like a low level Russian nobleman exiled to the run down country estate from lack of funds and poor prospects. The whole thing is ennui wrapped in plastic and buried in the bottom of a sludge pile.
But the thing is that I guess I’m still me and I’m still here. I’m a magic work in progress whose Mercury is dwindling in retrograde.
I don’t need a card in my wallet to know who I am. I need it. Don’t get me wrong. But I need it for the stuff I need it for in the world. I’ll fix the problem somehow. I’ll keep on keeping on.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.
