No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

I get my sleeves wet, even if I roll them up.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Eh, water on my shirt doesn't fuss me too terribly.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I get my sleeves wet, even if I roll them up.

I think I would actually need some sort of waterproof gown-- because my sleeves get wet AND I get soaked. Maybe a surgical gown?

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

I vote splashguards for the sink. Not great for short people, but sacrifices have to be made somewhere.

My devices are not working for me today. The headset *and* the built in speakers are no longer working on my soft phone, and something's up that means I can't get IO9 to load properly unless I start up an incognito window. Rest of the gawker network loads fine.

I have the bad aura this morning. They can feel my pain.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It is a sad day for my city-- Eastman Kodak is filing for bankruptcy.

Damn.

Having cats who eat wet food is my motivation to do the dishes daily. It is nice when there are only a few things. Cleaning the bathroom and vacuuming are my onerous tasks. I wish I could work out an exchange with some of you who hate putting away laundry.

I miss the Instamatic, so hard.

Also, fuck the Instagram.

Eek. Ice storm here. I woke up in the night and could hear it hitting my windows loudly, and it's still coming down. Do not want the power to go out!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

If H finds a burner on, the milk left out, the spoon in the knife drawer, or a dish that didn't get clean, he's compelled to show me, and tell me about it. It's not a punishment thing, it's more an assigning responsibility thing. I try not to resent it. In fact, I've brought him dirty spoons and the half-full filter pitcher and dishes shelved in the wrong cabinet... and it all just feels so petty. Fix it. And move on. Right?

I bring stuff like that up to DH because the alternative is waiting until the millionth tiny thing is one tiny thing too much and I wind up screaming WHY CAN'T YOU JUST WASH A FORK LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING when really it's not his fault because he has no fucking clue I was mad about the forks not being clean in the first place. But that's just us.

And us. Though I get more upset when I've brought it up before, but yet it continues to happen despite my reminders. That's when he says I stomp down the stairs with whatever infraction he committed in hand to chastise him about it. It's true, but I can only take so many empty saltine boxes in the pantry (when I've mentioned multiple times that empty boxes in the pantry drive me nuts) before I snap. It's not disrespect on his part; just not in the top 50 of his what's important list.

ita !, I hope you get some pain relief soon. Continued good thoughts and ~ma for your mom.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

it is pretty hard to do a bad job unless you have vision problems or are paying no attention.

A former roommate and my sister both only washed the fronts of dishes. My sister also manages to leave them greasy.

No power outage for meara!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It is a sad day for my city-- Eastman Kodak is filing for bankruptcy.

Sad for me too. I wonder if I should go stock up on Kodak film.

Yes, I still use film cameras. I like photography better when I'm using my old manual SLR.
