When I was a kid, we had one of those sectional couches that goes around a corner, creating a triangle of space behind the corner piece. When I was getting overwhelmed by stuff, but still wanted to know what was going on with the rest of the family (i.e., hiding out in my room would put me too far away), I would sit down there. It was just the right size for me to sit with my legs curled up a bit, and there was enough light to read if the dining room light was on, and I could listen to what was going on in the living room and dining room without having to actually participate for a while. (Before we had that couch, I'd done pretty much the same thing by turning a chair around to face the wall.)
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.
I can see those "foot rings" being good for dancers, maybe? But the toe things made me shudder.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A strong earthquake of 7.4 magnitude hit New Zealand, 4 miles southeast of Christchurch, the biggest city on the nation's South Island, in the middle of the night local time, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday.
Some residents posted Twitter alerts talking about power outages, damage and large aftershocks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Note to sister: Moving to NZ won't get you out of the earthquake zone.
The Jamaican tennis player plays Andy Murray today. I have discovered I can watch usopen.org video from work. However, one of my co-workers can see my screen. Grumble.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Scary about the earthquake.
My weekend will involve stretch class, soccer practice, and house work. Can't complain there.

My weekend is utterly planless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hee.
The body sock thing kinda freaks me out
It looks so cozy to me! When I was a kid, we had a non-built-in dishwasher, so there was a little gap between it and the counter, and I used to stand in there all the time.
