Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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

Oh, I was fascinated by the bell ringing! I have no memory of cricket in Murder Must Advertise, though. It's been a long time since I read it, though.

Oh, I'm clearly not doing it right. I was bowled out at the first wicket when I turned into a duck. Or something like that.

Hey, guess how much interest I have in working on a Quarterly Business Review today!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Look, if we're all going to be held to Lord Peter Wimsey standards of doing it right, I just might as well give up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I realized that, while I am a fan of many things, I'm not in the Fandom of most of them. I like what I like.

Well, someone noticed my Citrix hadn't gotten the upgrade yet. I was kinda looking forward to seeing what happened if that didn't happen before the server upgrade, but I guess it's better this way.

I think I probably learned more about cricket from Douglas Adams than anyone else. Not that that is very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just finished a reread of The Nine Tailors. Oh, my god, the bell ringing.

Yeah, that's the other one in my head!

In the Google cricket game. I (that is, the cricket) turned into a duck. Like a rubber duck?

Oh, ha! I forgot that's where that started.

I don't know how well I could type if I actually turned into a duck. No fingers, those bills are pretty wide to pecking keys, and balancing on one foot to poke at a keyboard with webbed toes certainly sounds challenging.

I hate when it storms until 6. Just late enough that I get started on something else. But oh well, is what it is.
