It was in the 70s here today.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how many degrees are outside right now, but tomorrow there will be more than 80.
It's nice when it's not raining.
I'm 1/3 of the way through tonight's 24, and I have to say, I had a perfectly reasonable upbringing, yet that whole echo of Alias with the father/daughter gestalt? Way too appealing, considering. Still, I'd love to see the Secretary bump into Jack Bristow -- perhaps they share a therapist.

Our wings are not tired
I have my window ajar and a pleasant breeze coming across my desk.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
It's 17 degrees here. Windchill of 2.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Careful you. The rain gods are listening. (to ND and ita)
I haven't watched 24 yet tonight but after finally watching last week's I have to ask, why did Jack have to stage a robbery? He couldn't just slash the guy's tires?

Swouncing
I should have been teaching right now, but since the semester is over, I'm not. So I had to post a "look, I'm on vacation! right when I used to teach each week!" post, before going to, um, study.
So I'm making a "vacation!" post. And I'm done.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
Careful you. The rain gods are listening.
Yeah? Well I have a torrent of swearing for them...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hi, Nilly!
Do you know what the best way is to get awake and alert after a long weekend? Having no heat and hot water!
[ETA: And just as I'm about to leave for work, the heat comes on]

It's 6 degrees here. And I have to walk a mile and a half to the subway.
This is not the way I'd ideally like to start my first day back to regular work after two+ weeks worth of vacation weekend, sales conference work, and more vacation. I've had two days to re-acclimate to MA, but sheesh.
On the other paw, my job doesn't suck and my coworkers/bosses will be glad to have me back. So it's just getting through the cold that I have to dread... and I have heavy clothes. I can do this. ::looks fierce::
Timelies!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Timelies!
It's cold. I'm watcing on the news a fire in a highrise apartment a few blocks from me. I can hear the news helicopters flying nearby.
