You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

Superman?

Christopher Reeves Superman or a more recent one? Unsurprisingly, I only notice the comic ones.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Time to meet the coworker, meara.

I'm always surprised when a coworker lives in my neighborhood, and we all drive in to work. But LA is big, and lo there are many neighborhoods.

I do not have a strong opinion on the Harry Potter stamps but will probably buy them because my kids will want them. Hrm.

Because books.

Apparently Richard Gere and Dakota Fanning are filming a movie at the local hospital. Neat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, did you mean who from a movie? I just figure any topic that's collectible would make a lucrative stamp, because both kinds of people will buy it to save it.

From a movie, I guess Star Wars (the real ones).

you people made me go buy stamps. did not buy Harry Potter, but I bought over $100 worth. That should last me a couple of years.

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

Oh, look at me, sitting here not working. Cannot focus. My self-evals were due nine days ago, I've got an issue going to the printer today and another one tomorrow, and I haven't even taken a shower yet. My brain is still in West Virginia driving through the mountains. Cannot focus. Don't wanna.

Both, it seems. Natalie Portman has a US stamp.

I might have thought once she might deserve great things, but she has repeatedly not earned it. It's nowhere as disappointing as LiLo, but I did also think she was going to be more amazing, so.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am having a peeve at work- our vacation carry-over from year to year is "capped" at the amount we can earn in a year, so you can't ever have more than 2 years worth of vacation. If you don't use it, you lose it.

So, they send us a report telling us how many hours we will lose if we don't take some vacation. Except they don't say it that way -- they call them "hours to be capped". Which seems somehow grammatically or logically wrong to me in a way that irritates me every single year.

Am I insane?

Sophia, take your vacation. That is my only take-away. DO not lose it, do not let it build up. Take every Monday or Friday off from now til the end of the year. use it.
