Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like excellent progress in your recovery, a myth. Yay! And nice job on timing your medical emergency to a quiet time at work. That isn't easy to pull off.

Good news, amyth!

The coasters are from the NatGeo catalog. Shopng.org, search coasters. Promised to deliver by Xmas if you order by the 14th. Just FYI, if you're all desperate like me. Got my dad thinkgeek's planet glasses since they weren't sold out this year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Glad you're feeling better, amyth!

Ah, fuck, Maria, I hate that there's only so much we have control over.

Our wings are not tired

Um, FTR, I've been to the Creation Museum (at least, the Institute for Creation Research), a few times, when it was located just outside San Diego.

Yeah, one of my classmates from High School is from a family that is a major funder of both of the organizations. The actual museum is from a slightly different group though. There was a schism in the ICR organization quite a few years ago and Ken Hamm is the leader of the splinter group that went on to found Answers In Genesis which runs the museum and the Ark. In 2006ish there was another split and there is now another group called Creation Ministries International.

Um, yeah, I might know too much about these organizations.

Thanks, sarameg, that might just pair well with the coloring books. Now, what addresses to use...

Glad you're feeling better, Amy!

My day had a moment of potentially being a huge PITA, and work-wise that has not stopped (basically part of my job is checking a box electronically when I've verified it's right. But some people in another division have started using those checkboxes for their own purposes. And checking ones that weren't checked or Unchecking others. Boss is flipping). But non work wise, day is ok. Or will be if my plane takes off on time and I get home ok?

....and I just realized LDB is playing as we board the airplane. :)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Aww, Maria.

Also, saw a clip of Grace Jones singing LDB on Pee Wee's Playhouse, that might be the best way to lose.

It was not bad.
