Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

'Beneath You'

Annual busiest day of the year at work is now finally complete 11 hours later--yay! Now I get to go home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm now wondering if I'm relatively deaf. I always have gobs of wax to get rid of. But I'm not a Q-Tip user. I've injured my ear canal before. It wasn't worth it.

At the pharmacy filling a million prescriptions on what is hopefully the last of my COBRA insurance. Switching onto a much cheaper but network-only one through my contracting company. I'm very nervous about the changeover mechanics. I don't want to be on the hook for any of my regular full expenses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh! I forgot the best news of the day! My old landlord called to tell me he's putting my security deposit in the mail today! Man, I left that place trashed. But no actual damage caused by me, which I guess he counts as a win.

Good luck with the new insurance, ita.

Cool thing happened this afternoon! Coworker was leaving for the day and stopped by my desk to give me something. I had no idea what it was until she pulled it out of her bag--she is a recent Buffy convert and has been going through the dvds as she acquires them on the cheap from Target/Walmart. She happened to buy a two-pack of Angel S2 and S3, and since she had already bought a two-pack of S1 and S2, she didn't need S2 again, so she gave it to me (I only have S1 of Angel). I offered to pay her, and she waved it off.

I have to remember to bring in my S4 of Buffy for her to watch--the big box stores haven't had anything cheap for that season and she wants to view it in light of having watched S1 of Angel for the crossover eps. Our boss is also a big fan, and he's loaning her the rest of Buffy while she keeps an eye out for S4 and 5 of Angel.

Thanks, Kathy.

Why does TVGuide.com have breaking news? I wanted to check my listings and I got distracted by Tiger Woods. Admittedly, it worked, but I won't let them get to me a second time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why does TVGuide.com have breaking news?

That would make sense if a sporting event ran long and some TV shows were going to be delayed.

Or to alert you in a timely fashion that the penguin on top of your telly was about to explode.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

As someone who's telly is surrounded by penguins, that is a disturbing thought.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That is why I have the penguins about my TV cleverly rigged NOT to explode.

So when I put away boxes yesterday, I cleared off the hearth of the fireplace [link] (all full up now!) And randomly tossed a pillow there. It's Devi's favorite spot now. It's funny to see her curled up in the nook.

I have a freestanding gas fireplace. Of course, the cats like to sleep on it when it's off, but the one dumb, fluffy cat goes back to it after I have lifted her off and turned it on. I guess it's not too hot for her for a few minutes, but it wigs me out to see her there above the flames.
