I should do a post or blog or something one of these days about why I volunteer at a high-kill shelter. Not now though. I just left work early to get a massage, and now, since I had a half hour to kill, am mid-pedicure.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So it looks like that Louis CK special made a lot of money. And he's doing good things with it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG WHY IS IT TAKING AN HOUR FOR YOU TO ACCEPT SOME CHANGES AND PRINT SOME STUFF?
I wanted to leave early, but no.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck. I still haven't written the how to. Maybe I could...no I can't write it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be in Jamaica and not have the source fucking information. ita !, stop it.
But CFerg stopped over, and I got my big how-can-I-manage-this task out of the way, so that's good. And I think I've decided I have to travel with two bags, just because I don't have one big one. But I have to bring so much stuff back for the fam...
And still two routers to flash and packing to do, and...no, I'm not ironing. That's silly.
Oh! I should load TV onto my iPod or tablet.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have discovered this year that I'm the same way. It's a pity I've discovered this because we agreed not to put up a tree, due to the bundles of energy and chaos that are the babycats. I've been visiting other people's trees.
We've put a string of lights up on a stair railing. Not a lot of effort, and our cats enjoy it without messing with it (too much). Can't say the same for the garland, though.

Considering I just had to stop Vlad from climbing Miss Lucinda the dress form, even having lights on a railing is a Bad Idea.
But one of my friends just emailed me to tell me about a huge Christmas display they want to take me to see tomorrow night: Jack, Sally, Zero, Santa and the huge moon and curly hill.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Good grief. I certainly hope my vacation is not like y'all's vacations. Eek.
No. Shit.
BTW, I *started* my xmas shopping today. I went to the mall and I now feel an overwhelming sense of despair. Perhaps not coincidentally, I think I have an intense case of misanthropy. And of course I hate myself for shopping so late. Even better? I need to go to the mall TOMORROW because I just couldn't take it longer than 3 hours.

bonny,
I sent you an email yesterday, but I found your post in Beep Me to be really moving and just sad. Amazing you could put that all together during this terrible time.
I'm sorry.

not your mom's socks.
Wowwww. They really are trying to kill my sinus infection with fire. I just had a mild freakout over the dosage + length of time I'm on this course of meds, because I (of course) had to google standard dosage. Someone tell me my dr. knows what he's doing?
Ginger, how long were you on anti-bs once they figured it out? If that's not too personal.
Thinking calm, happy thoughts about what it will be like to breathe and think and hear properly ... in late January.
