Timelies all!
My current car is 12. I'm hoping to get a few more years out of it, since I don't want to deal with car buying yet. (It has just over 96,000 miles on it, and its a Corolla, which have been good cars for me.)
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Punishingly Intricate
I once again learned that I should have a better plan before I go to the market. I did manage to get a tiny pie. And smoked cheddar biscuits. But I don't have makings for any kind of a whole meal. ah well.
Good luck with the car shopping today, ita !
I am on my 2nd car of my life and am hoping this one lasts at least until Bob sells his place in chicago. (It's going on the market again this fall probably...if anyone knows anyone who is looking to buy an awesome condo in Chicago!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Uh oh - sore throat. This better not turn into anything.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Go away, sore throat!
I woke up perky, which always kind of freaks me out. But I have an epic shitton of stuff to accomplish, so hopefully the good mood and energy will help.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I keep thinking I'm getting sick and then not getting sick. I haven't been sick all year. I don't know what that is. Swine flu super-antibodies finally kicking in? Teacher immunity after ten years? Just still early in the season and I'll be laid out in February?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Uh oh - sore throat. This better not turn into anything.
Salt water gargle!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I went out the other night to get Nyquil, and everyone out on the streets was coughing. I hope it isn’t the zombie plague.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Two of my coworkers have had two different bad colds, but I think our short-staffed-ness has kept stuff from moving through the department like it did last year.
But I don't think it's zombies?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I woke up kind of snot filled today too. Feh.
I have to make it to the hardware store and Costplus today, plus fix my bed frame (after the hardware store) and try to get some unpacking done.
Unfortunately, I also have to go pick up Perkins' ashes today, so I am kind of expecting to be a mess for the rest of the day and not do much except crawl back into bed. Once I fix it, I mean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
During the whole Demi foofurrah, ET posted some (disturbing) footage of her at 19, and I swear her voice was lower then. It was weird on such a kid.
