Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

Has anyone ever watched the sitcom The League? One of my TiVo auto-records picked it up, and it's predictably unfunny. But Eliza Dushku is in it! Playing a (pretty terrible) krav maga instructor. Weird as fuck. Needless to say, all of her character's shit is pretty damned bogus.

This has me thinking that handkit tabi style socks would be a very good thing

Why go for the overhead of tabi? I just wear socks all the time.

I can't believe my family just made me buy a t-shirt for my mother. I know Jamaica is the third world, but they do have plenty of t-shirts.

I can't decide if I should pull the trigger on those PJs or actually go to the mall and look for them. I'm scared of the mall. But they are really nice, if I have to get plaids. The only other patterns I'd probably like better would be the one for my last name or my mother's maiden name. Those are good tartans.

Socks - on hardwood floors = slippery. I've already taken a bad fall. Don't need another.

But surely whatever you're knitting the tabi out of you could make the socks out of the same thing and they wouldn't be slippery? And then the pattern would be simpler. It's not like it's the toe that makes it have grip.

I'm supposed to wear shoes with inserts all the time for the plantar fasciitis. I don't like it, but I've had to reluctantly admit that it makes a big difference. Sigh.

If a few of the bosses I've had were taken hostage, the employees would leave the building for lunch and argue about whether they should call 911.

I'd wear the tabi with the zori.

ETA: amusing cross stitch projects.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

In a hostage situation, our warehouse manager would offer herself up. And then she'd beat the shit out of the hostage taker (she used to box professionally) and then she'd pray with him while the cops came (she does prison ministry).

I want these pajamas [link] but they're out of them in my size. ::pouts::

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If I was the manager/leader/boss, I would feel it incumbent on me to volunteer. Don't honestly know if I would be brave enough, although I hope I would.
