Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still hate him so much, from his very first Senate win.

Because books.

Oh, Kat, did you see dismissal of Walter Dean Myers? About halfway down was when my head exploded.

Because, you know, the kid reading at a five-year-old's level can obviously dive right into Homer with no problem at all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You are such a writer's nightmare. I'm tempted to write a novel just to make the middle incredibly fucked up and have a deceptive ending.

It works really well with books like The Deathly Hallows, though.

Seriously, I get so nervous about what is going to happen if I don't read the end that I speed through and do not enjoy it.

Sophia, how do you watch movies?

Sophia, how do you watch movies?

I actually don't really watch movies that I don't already know. Or aren't formulaic. TV series are good because the individual episodes are short enough that I don't need to go to the end. (and now that there is netflix, I will go to the end of the movie before I decide if I will finish.)

ETA OTOH this is probably why I can work on theatre productions-- because I can watch the same thing endlessly.

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

But the gun WAS in a locked closet that we broke into?

Well, it wasn't locked very hard, was it?

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

Well, my overpants for the motorcycle trip finally arrived. They are waterproof and have armor and will be great fro any kind of weather. Probably, though, I should have started my diet BEFORE this trip. Trying to put them on over my jeans involved lots of tugging, first by me alone and I had to call the DH to help. There was wriggling and swearing and finally me lying on my back as the DH wrestled the zipper closed. He's such a mensch, he kept saying the pants were badly designed, he had the same trouble with his, they looked great. Frankly, it was rather horrifyingly embarrassing, while still making us both laugh.

I then tried them on over my flimsy skating pants which are a lot like these: [link] I was able to zip them without assistance although there is still a muffin-top situation. Still, I'll be safe and it's definitely more incentive to get in shape when we get back.
