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

Today also seems to be Tom Hardy's birthday, My sister is beside herself with excitement.

Because books.

It's a good day that brought Tom Hardy into the world.

I need to find a pediatrician for the kids, and probably make an appointment for Ben's bum foot at A.I. Dupont again. They're sliding scale, and he was there as a baby, so maybe that won't be too bad. I also need an GYN and a GP, but I think I'm going to go with my parents' GP because they love her.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sounds like DC is having a seriously screwed up commute this morning.

What happened? I had no problem, but I get to the office pretty early. And the freeway outside my office is running smoothly, which is pretty rare.

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

What happened?

Did someone find a headless corpse?

I just gave a presentation to a class, came back to my desk and checked Facebook, and found a new post by a student in the class who happens to be on my friendlist, made during the class. Facebook etiquette fail, young man!

Oh, I think that warrants being called out next time.

Alas, I only do one-shot appearances in other people's classes, so there is no next time. He's a sweet kid, too. (And his post was about making plans to go see the Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown musical in NYC!)

I dunno, flea, I think the appropriate response is a comment saying "ettiquette FAIL! You posted this instead of paying exquisite attention to every word I was presenting to your class? I'm hurt."

(eta--I realize that could sound like I'm making fun of you an I'm not! Just meaning a lighthearted comment is the way to go)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would totally bust that kid!

That's worse than when I was emailing back and forth with a coworker and I realized she was on a conference call with the CEO...

Before I have to log off, I just have to post that, based on your answers, vanilla bean seems like a really good ice cream, the kind I really wish they sold here. Thanks, you guys!

Bye Nilly! Great birthday gift, to see your font in here!

I'll probably be running over to CBC & Hungry Mother tonight, so I'll toast you with a beverage (or three).

I approve!
