I've probably only heard it in the wild three or four times. I'm glad some of you haven't.
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.

Basically I don't want to start a shitstorm on Twitter with my personal account, but I also don't want to let it go.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, honestly, given how badly such shitstorms tend to go, I'd be reluctant - better to drop a word to the organizers directly.

It's like Brigadoon for vintage nerds. So magical.
I want to go THERE. Also, I suspect that's the retirement plan for myself and a few friends.

Smile for the day - ARP Chief and I causing trouble for my co-chair. Somehow she ended up without any action items after our last meeting while Chief and I had a bunch. So when she asked us to approve the minutes, we both went on with requests for font changes, color coding, printing on color paper...all kinds of smart-ass requests. Usually she is the smart-ass of the group and I think she is cracking up that Chief is giving as much back to her (she is kinda used to it from me).
Gotta find ways to have fun on a Monday morning.

not your mom's socks.
So, going back in for ye olde ultrasound tomorrow morning for a repeat of some problems I had a couple years ago. I so want it to be nothing, or easily resolvable, or even 'hey we can fix that by taking out those parts you don't even need anymore' - even though that's kind of scary too. Anything that doesn't involve really scary stuff. I'm so tired of this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Belated Birthday, Jilli!
Yay Sue!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I thought I was going to have a casserole for dinner, but I took it out of the freezer yesterday and it was still frozen! So instead I had almonds and applesauce. The casserole is in the oven now, so at least it won't be frozen when I reheat tomorrow....
