Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Because books.

I just took a picture of poor confused crocuses that bloomed overnight. It's 60 here this afternoon.

I also cried for the first time in therapy today. Whoo? He seemed pleased, actually.

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

Why can't people keep their fandoms in line? Someone I'm following on tumblr because of the richness of her links and the excellence of her animated GIF photosets has picked up ALCATRAZ, for crying out loud. All this skimming I'm going to have to do, and all the energy she could be spending on *my* stuff. She's already too Sherlock heavy as it is, for crying out loud.

Why aren't more people my bitch?

In other news, Pictionary, the Cormac McCarthy edition.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crying in therapy is my favorite thing! I should go back.

Okay, someone on Jezebel suggested a race-mixed version of Pride and Prejudice, hinging on making Tyler Perry Mr. Collins. Which is an excellent role for him. She's suggested the following:

  • Jane: Kerry Washington
  • Lydia: Raven Symone
  • Mrs Bennett: Loretta Devine (my suggestion)
  • Mr. Bennett: Clarke Peters
  • Darcy: Patrick Wilson
  • Bingley: Andrew Garfield
  • Wickham: Ryan Reynolds

I think she's probably pretty young, and also she can't think of a definitive Lizzy--any suggestions?

I like Loretta Devine too much for her to be Mrs. Bennett.

Art Crawl!!!

Sure - but I bet she'd have fun playing the part.

Who for Bingley's sisters?

hip deep in pie

I'm not sure about her acting chops, but Aisha Tyler came to mind for Lizzie. Too old? ETA: She's 41. I was going to suggest Gabrielle Union as an younger alternative but she's 38!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suppose this was inevitable....

Playboy and Virgin Galactic Dream Up Cosmic Men's Space Club

There would be no windows in the zero-gravity dance club, but there would be drinks, served by Playboy bunnies wearing jetpacks. And there would be exterior windows in the private "orbital pleasure dome," so clubgoers could gaze down at Earth during romantic interludes including, you guessed it, sex in space, the writers added.
