Hee, xposty with Amych! Happy Chrismakkuh! All your fretting about pet-sitting was not for naught! It really was a disaster in the making. So glad Stephen and the folks hit it off.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

I'm all alone in my apartment cleaning furiously with my new Sarah McLachlan concert dvd on, and haveing an odd moment of simple happiness. Won't ponder too long lest it goes away. The dvd'll end soon enough anyway, but 'tis good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Penguins escape huge earthquake
Not quite as interesting as the headline might make one believe. I mean, the penguins didn't detect the earthquake before it happened and escape in some sort of penguin ark....

Well, they cleverly avoided building a large city that would crumble around them. That takes foresight.

All is well that ends in pizza.
That headline reads like someone had just gotten a good christmas bonus and was giddy.

t staggers into thread, weak with laughter
Okay, I now have conclusive proof that Dave and I are 1) lame and 2) geeky.
So we each got each other an iPod for Christmas. I got him what I really wanted--a full-on 40GB iPod good for 10000 songs so he wouldn't never have to worry about sorting through the music he wanted to listen to, etc.
He got me an iPod mini, because he really liked how little and sleek they are, plus he already rates all of his albums song by song, loved the idea of only taking the 400-500 songs he actually listens to, and assumed I'd feel the same.
We both pretended that we really liked our own gift while greedily eyeing each other's.
Finally, I admitted, "I'd kinda like a bigger one."
"Huh," he replied. "I really wanted the mini."
We stared at each other a second. We looked again at the free inscriptions we'd both done for each other on the back of each iPod ("if music be the food of love, play on" on mine; "music in the bedroom, laughter in the hall" on his). It isn't a coincidence that Mac offers free engraving but doesn't allow returns on anything once engraved.
"Do you want to--"
"--Oh thank God, yes."
We traded.
Ah, geeks at Christmas.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's so infinitely dorky, Kristin. I like it.

Kristin, that is adorable.
