Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I totally prefer darker-hair Cumbermuffin. It makes him so much more striking and strange.

I can see him as a ginger, he has that particular super-pale porcelain complexion that goes with it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Now of course, I'm thinking it would be hilarious if they did a Sherlock ep based on "The Red Headed League" and had BC go to his natural color. The meta of the other characters saying what a rubbish dye job Sherlock had would be delicious.

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

I also think Cumberbatch is better-looking the darker his hair is. But I wouldn't turn him down anyway.

My personal theory is that Sherlock is in fact ginger, which is why he never seems to have a beard, and dyes it to make people take him seriously. With skin that fair, if his hair were naturally that dark, he'd have a five-o'clock shadow by 2pm.

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

Jesse- I like to order from Overstock--almost-free shipping and I have liked what I have gotten form them. We have these: [link] And we LOVE them.

Punishingly Intricate

oh, man, Swifty had a mini-seizure this afternoon (after our vet office closed, of course). We gave him the valium the vet gave us after his last seizure a couple of weeks ago. And he stopped twitching and got really sleepy. He slept for about an hour then just got up. He's been walking around but his back legs seem really wea. He drank some and ate a bunch of food and his eyes seem bright. He just laid down in the kitchen and looks like a normal sleeping cat.

I'm just not sure if the leg weakness is just effect of the valium wearing off and we should just wait it out. Or if we should take him to the emergency vet.

Emergency vet is so stressful and really he's acting pretty much like he did after we brought him home after the last seizures.

Cats! Sheesh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes! Poor Swifty. Poor you!

Scrappy, thanks. I looked at the O and didn't see anything I was crazy about.

I feel like shit.

I had to man a booth at Noah's carnival. It was the kissing booth (which is asinine, but it included chocolate kisses). Very few takers, which is fine by me. But I abandoned ship without waiting for someone to relieve me -- my shift was up and I was out given the headache I have.

Also, Noah is stoked to start Krav in March!

Poor Swifty.

I def. prefer Cumberbatch darker, but he's one of those people where depending on the light and the angle, his whole face changes. He's just pretty.

I just got back from TTSS. There was one scene with Tom Hardy that is completely lost to me because I just stared at his lips.
