Oh, yeah, I have more cookies to bake, too. We're going to do a batch for the highway workers we've been waving at several times every day. And then we've got baking for the party.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My cable is out. Why must the ducks keep nibbling at my toes? I don't want to differentially diagnose my entertainment system.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Liese, for normal Moon-viewing, a Barlow lens is a good idea. It reduces the brightness while increasing magnification.

You know that moment when you click on a link and then you process the context and realise you're looking at some stranger's brother's dick?
Yeah, that moment. Why do I haz it? IO9, fer crissakes, is supposed to treat me better than this.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm pretty sure I've told this, but I have about the least romantical non-proposal story: I had taken my Ambien, and was struck by the pre-sleepy hungries and was eating a bowl of broccoli and cheese in a t-shirt and panties while D was watching...Job Stewart? Probably.
In that weird Ambien-induced haziness, I was chatty and, between bites, asked, "So what do you think about getting married" or some such. And D was all "I was assuming we would. I want to."
I was all CHOMP CHOMP -- "Really?! Oh, that's good." CHOMP CHOMP.
"Um...are we engaged now?" I says.
D ponders. "...Yes? Don't you want a ring, though?"
"Yes, but not this second." Pause of about a minute.
"HOLY SHIT ARE WE GETTING MARRIED?!?!"
"...Er...Yes."
" I LOVE YOU ZOMG FLAIL!!!"
And then I think I maybe posted, and texted a few friends, and then passed out.

Looks like Kelly's plane has finally taken off. Though the web couple by misleading me. I pick her up around 11pm. Only an hour later than expected. I can't wait to see my girl!!!

Yes, it is.
And clean and shop and swim (which I'll probably want to do all day) and manicure. And I keep jiggering the schedule and I'm not sure how the hell it will happen. But it must.

Awesome, dcp, thanks. I'll check it out.

Xmas shopping fail. I went out and spent an enormous amount of money today. Of that, like two things are actual gifts (one for someone I already have something for) and the rest, not so much.
On the plus side, I have a shiny new flatscreen tv and HD DVR.
