That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How are you currently pushing your luck?

Sleep. What with the usual daily chores, the little boy, my studies and 3 hours spent commuting each workday, I'm lucky to get six hours a night.

shrift is eating SQUASH! She wins at responsableness.

I still have 6 more weeks on my CSA. I will be eating so much goddamn squash.

I think I'm extra cranky about this because I had to get up early, clean up cat poo, go to the doctor and have conversations about new meds, get caught in a deluge, and speak intelligently in a series of back-to-back meetings.

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

Zombie Satellite Galaxy 15 Still Won't Die

A wayward satellite that has spent months drifting in orbit has not shut itself down as originally predicted, and continues to pose a signal interference risk for other craft.

The so-called "zombie satellite," Intelsat's Galaxy 15 communications satellite, lost contact with ground controllers in April, but continues to follow a stable path as its operators on Earth work to avoid potential interference with other nearby spacecraft.

In an unprecedented satellite malfunction, the telecommunications broadcast package on Galaxy 15 is stuck on and still transmits signals, but ground controllers are unable to control the solar-powered craft. Intelsat engineers initially estimated that the satellite would lose power and shut itself off in late August, but so far, that has not happened.

That sucks. Lately I haven't had to clean up cat poo, as the "aluminum foil in the bathtub" trick seems to have worked. And my boss called me this morning to see if I could come in before 9:00 - so I rode my bike but managed to get to work before the deluge.

My dad finally put grass clippings in my composter (he usually mulches them right back on to the lawn) and now I can add the veggie remains I have3 been keeping in the freezer. I should have usable compost in 3-4 weeks. YAY!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My friends on Facebook are posting about a tornado in Brooklyn? WTFF?!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

The only place I can think of where I might be pushing my luck is at work, where I am trying to stay off the computer for non-work-related things. I've been warned about it a number of times by my boss, but it is difficult.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am currently pushing my luck by posting here and not going to the bathroom. Parents will be here soon for Open House and this is my last chance for a couple of hours....

...

Okay, I'm not gonna push that too far and go take care of bidness.
