Shir, your cousin is utterly adorable.
Rivalled only by my own niece, Flo, who is eighteen months old and is the cutest child in the world. [link]
But your cousin comes in at a close second. ;)
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
(Just got mine- it's BEAUTIFUL in a really horribly wonderful sort of way.)
YAY. But mine is going to be delayed by the fact that I also bought a Nerd Herd t-shirt, which won't be in stock for a bit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mr or Mrs. Smith, from the movie.
Oh, Mr. Smith. I have a bit of an Angelina allergy.

Just watched the Kentucky Derby. The winning horse looks bored and like he wants to go do something else now.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I sometimes wonder if the winning horse thinks he's being punished. All the other horses get to go back to the barn, but he gets mobbed and has a weird thing put on his neck.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Malice Domestic has been fun, though attendance is down. Not really a surprise, given the state of the economy. I am a little bummed that Sleuth of Baker Street (a bookstore from Toronto) isn't in the dealers' room, but again, I'm not totally surprised.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Found out that I'm getting a new neighbor - the guy behind me with the scrabbly overgrown puppy is moving out, and someone new is moving in this week.
I am somehow dissapointed that my leftover pad Thai, while good, was not as tasty as the bargain basement grilled cheese sandwich I just made when it proved insufficiently filling.

I'm getting a new neighbor, too, Matt. I'm hoping for a hot MacGyver type with fewer commitment issues and no mullet. I'll settle for someone who doesn't throw cigarette butts in my plantings.

Hot can be overrated in a neighbor. Mine across the hall has half-drunken women knocking on his door and then calling their friends to loudly complain about him not being home at 2 a.m. far too frequently for my liking.
(I don't begrudge anyone an active love life, but take exception when the cast-offs get noisy at ungodly hours in our shared hallway.)

I already have that with my neighbor on the left. He's too young for me to join in the chaos. Just as well, really.
No, I'm hoping for a hottie closer to my age. By then I hope he'd learn how to manage his cast-offs with some level of efficacy.
