ION, there's no need to fear the "Robot Apocalypse." As long as cats continue to ride Roombas, we will be safe.

I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ, has the box of buttons arrived yet? I mailed them last week.
She got them! Matilda played with them dumped them on the couch and we had to do a deep couch excavation to put them all back in the bag.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And now the pharmacy is telling me my drugs cost more than 4x what they cost me last time out of pocket. Yet, I'm considering it. BECAUSE IT HURTS. Why can't she hurry up?

Swouncing
Skipping (goodness, this is the first time today I saw a computer, and in ten minutes it'll already be tomorrow!) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is -t's birthday.
Happy birthday, -t! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
(And sorry I almost ran out of today, on my timezone, before posting it!)

My god, I have no idea why they almost overcharged me. But when I told them to go back and look, they charged me the same amount as before. Dude. Doesn't the drug have a price?
But hey, have painkillers, back home, back online at work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hate when pharmacies pull that shit, usually when you're in no condition to argue with them or reason out a solution.

Oh, silly Matilda.

Oh, and hey Buffistas, I think I need talking off of a ledge. I've started posting reviews to Gothic Charm School; for additional content, and because a lot of readers have asked for my opinions or reviews for stuff over the years.
But. Someone on Twitter thinks I've turned into a shill by doing reviews:
You seem to have misunderstood my tweet. I don't want to see reviews. I want to read your opinions. And no, your review of Noxenlux Chapeau is not an opinion, it's a REVIEW. I regret recommending your book and blog to a friend now...I feel like you're trying to sell things to your readers. I don't want to feel like I've just walked into an airport.
Is this a version of "Yeah, I liked them before they sold out" ? Should I not spend time fretting over it? Because right now, it's bugging me.

Jilli, do not pay attention to stupid people.
I am reading the NYT's review of Percy Jackson and Something Having to do with Olympians (the gods, not the athletes). This caught my eye:
His compatriots are Annabeth (Alexandra Daddario), the saucer-eyed daughter of Athena
Uh, really? Athena? Does she spring out of Athena's head fully formed?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A review is not an opinion?
