Ah, most onerous of onerous tasks done, or done enough. Blew it on the laundry however, and missed out on getting to BevMo. And I can't confirm if my son's bus schedule is going to be screwed up again today. But eh, guess I'll take what I can get and say it's been a pretty good day.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Dang, I was going to suggest Anika Noni Rose, who trained at San Francisco's ACT, has plenty of classics experience on stage, and did a lovely job breezily snarking the shit out of a highborn fellow who thought much too well of himself in The Princess and the Frog, but she turns 40 this year.
She played a 15-year-old in "Caroline, or Change," and that was relatively recently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sue, Aisha is who the commenter suggested, and Gabrielle was my reaction!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Gabrielle Union as an younger alternative but she's 38!
Shut UP. No she is not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And, damn. I went looking for Gina Torres info out of idle curiosity (she's 42! holy crap!) and good God, is she made out of 100% awesome. I never knew that she was a mezzo soprano trained in opera and jazz vocals, and that she and Laurence Fishburne got married at the Cloisters. How can one person contain that much spectacular?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It was in the 60s again today. The hyacinths have been sending shoots up for a while, but I haven't seen and flowers yet.

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

Jeez. I just did my timecard for this week, and my weekly report, since tomorrow's my day off. I have nineteen and a half hours left on my task order, and they still don't have a contract in place.
I suspect I'm going to be out of the office after noon on Wednesday...
