You know that put me into a Mojo Nixon place, right?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Not just you, Spidra.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. I was singing the song as I typed it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Awesome, Theo!
I just had brunch with sarameg and my DH, so you may all envy me! We talked houses and cat-walking and general interesting stuff. She is smart and funny and lively and just truly excellent company.
Now I feel like my DH's cold is getting a hold on me, so it is time for a eucalyptus bath and then some comfort TV. He is feeling better and will be smoking a turkey, so dinner tonight will be fabulous!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay, Erin!
We are back from DarkoverCon. Fairly quiet con, but that's fine.

Since I keep thinking "oh and I forgot to ask/talk about that!" I'd say I had an excellent brunch thanks to Scrappy and Mr. Scrappy.
Theo, I'm totally geeking out over your new boiler assembly. What's the grey tank the size of a propane tank for? Pressure tank? I'm fascinated (I have separate water heater and boiler that should last another decade or so, but still! Fascinating! Digital readout!!!) Copper sure is purty...

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Dinner tonight and tomorrow will be Southwest Collard Greens with Turkey. That will use up last of turkey.
Oh and via Making Light, a $6,800 speaker cable has an even more hilarious customer review than one would expect: [link]

We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.
PLEASE! You must listen! We cannot maintain the link for long... I will type as fast as I can.
DO NOT USE THE CABLES!
We were fools, fools to develop such a thing! Sound was never meant to be this clear, this pure, this... accurate. For a few short days, we marveled. Then the... whispers... began.
Were they Aramaic? Hyperborean? Some even more ancient tongue, first spoken by elder races under the red light of dying suns far from here? We do not know, but somehow, slowly... we began to UNDERSTAND.
No, no, please! I don't want to remember! YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME REMEMBER! I saw brave men claw their own eyes out... oh, god, the screaming... the mobs of feral children feasting on corpses, the shadows MOVING, the fires burning in the air! The CHANTING!
WHY CAN'T I FORGET THE WORDS???
We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.
Do not use the cables!

sarameg, yeah, that's an overflow container. The installers seem to have done a top flight job, at least so far as I can tell. Wish I could have been there to kibbitz with them as they worked, because I've usually been able to pick up lots more about how it runs and how to set it, but that's the sad thing about starting a new job the same week as the install.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
HOLY SHIT. There was a coyote in the backyard. I was taking out the recycling and he was standing there, staring at me. I screamed, he ran, I ran, and you know what? I'm not taking the rest of the trash out.
