Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh hey, I'm 99% decided on this coffee table. I saw it in the store today, and it's quite nice. Too bad it's only on sale through tomorrow and I can't get it until next week.

Could you pay by credit card over the phone?

Nope, the store is closed, and online they say they only hold it until COB tomorrow. Eh.

Awara Paagal Deewana is one of my favorite Bollywood movies.

Did they actually have the lovely young thing dressed in nothing but a pistol?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That scene was lost in translation.

That's annoying, Jesse.

Has anyone been involved in buying a mobility scooter? A friend's mother has, at age 95, conceded that walking is just too painful, and my friend is trying to figure out how to start shopping.

I may actually have the money in cash next weekend, which will definitely save a ton in cc interest, so it all works. Now I'm actually concerned that table is too nice for my other stuff! But I think it will be OK.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dear people at the airport: please stop hovering by me. Hover somewhere else.

My nephew and brother spent saturday helping clean up tornado debris. (As part of a cub scout initiative.) After which, he wanted to buy a game that was available via amazon, but not in stores. After my brother heavy-footedly explained shipping costs, nephew decided he'd wait, but wanted to spend what would be the shipping cost on teaching a kid, after what he'd been doing (? I'm not sure how he got there, but there was an earnest convo with grandma in there.) I'm sure it was a coached conversation, but still. After quizzing grandma a second time, he'd upped it to $20. I just sent my brother to donorschoose.

I'll be tickled if he goes that route.
