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

Whoo! Fight avert...wait, what am I celebrating?

Is the French opinion actually this haughty on the topic?

It's raining like crazy here. If this were snow, well, the ski resorts would be ecstatic, but the streets would be a mess.

We've got two very fluffy and dry inches so far. Earlier I was able to clean the stoop and the sidewalk with a broom.

Muppet's been grooming herself into bald patches lately so we went to the vet yesterday, and the vet prescribed a mild course of cortisone to see if it's allergy-related. I was afraid that it would turn into a Pilling Nightmare (more for the cat than me) but the doses come in little moist cat-treats that she is wild about, following me around after to ask for more.

I just found an Arrested Development book in my BN.com shopping cart. I think I've been hacked by my sister, possibly just a psychic thing. Or, it's the Ambien. Either way, I'm surprisingly hesitant about removing it and just going ahead with my Archer S1 purchase as planned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I want to make these cookies with walnuts, craisins, and chocolate chips, which means there is basically no point to bringing them either to my family or to work. I may decide to make different mini-batches with different additions for different people. Or I may say fuck it, and eat them all myself!

Carnitas, from the slow cooker, bitches!

bon bon, recipe, por favor?

Jesse, that pic cracks me up, because everyone (but the kids) is drinking Michelob. "Tonight is kinda special...Michelob!"

Do they even MAKE that beer anymore? (Not a beer drinker.)

I have a lot to do today; work, MUST GO TO GROCERY STORE, some cleaning and laundry, frame some stuff, put away from craft stuff from my Girly Craftsmas creation day last week and get some stuff ready to send at the post office Monday.

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

It snowed/sleeted here last night. The road and my walkway were clear this morning, though; everything's just wet. Ice remains on the wood stairs, as I almost discovered the hard way - foot slipped, but I didn't fall. The pine trees are iced and their limbs are drooping with the weight of it. It's so pretty.

Are they jingling in the breeze, like the world's biggest wind chime?

They might if there were enough of a breeze!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I was unable to find a shower curtain I'm really crazy about that didn't cost an arm and a leg, but browsing around at Target I did find this, which is at least quirky and goes with the decor and exposed brick in my bathroom.

OMG, when Sam Worthington says "Today is the day everything changes" I'm totally reminded of someone interesting saying something much like that. Who is it? Help my mouldering brain!

Jack Harkness in the Torchwood pilot? I can see how he might not immediately come to mind in connection with Sam Worthinzzzzzzz...
