You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Also, it would be wrong to have a glass of wine before leading a Girl Scout meeting, wouldn't it? Sigh. I was not made for human interaction.

Wrong? Hell, no. A necessity, in fact.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am overly excited to be contributing to Thanksgiving dinner for the first time this year! Too bad all of the good stuff is taken.

Drink the wine, flea!

I just walked over to the chichi co-op down the block and bought a turkey. Except it's not a whole turkey, it's like, the breast and some other stuff. WTF? But TJ's didn't have any, and since we had an ice storm yesterday, I"m not about to venture out to anywhere farther away (and mostly, Safeway has like, 25 pound birds anyway). Did the rest of the shopping earlier this week.

Owen asked me when Star Wars: A New Hope appeared in theaters. I told him 1977. He looked at me and asked, "How is that if Episode I opened in theaters in 1999?"

Someone want to explain to him George Lucas' egocentric outlook on the universe and how he cannot stop messing with a good thing?

Sometimes when a producer's ego and money love each other very much...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

"How is that if Episode I opened in theaters in 1999?"

Good fuckin' point. I can't tell you how many confusing conversations I've had with Emmett who refers to the movies by their chronological order while I think of them in release order.

So when we say "The first Star Wars movie" we're never talking about the same thing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Might it not involve possible college scholarships for the kids? (I mean, he came over on the Mayflower, right?)

Mom is cooking for Thanksgiving, I'm bringing dessert - chocolate marscapone cake with chocolate buttercream icing and apple pie. I was considering adding caramel to the pie, but the store only had pints of heavy cream and I didn't want to buy it just for two tablespoons.
