And not in a good Tim Minear way!

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

During the entire Rebecca/Sandy scene, I was yelling at theTV (hey, my throat hurts a little bit). THen I turned to Tom and said, "I am SPITTING mad. I just had to swallow a ton of saliva so I wouldn't start yelling and ranting and spitting."

I think he was a little taken aback by my reaction. I am pretty tired/burnt out, in general though.

So, in non-OC related news, I ate an excellent Indian buffet for lunch (maybe around 1:30pm) today and am still not hungry. I do not think we will eat dinner. Weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Lee, I don't know how to post pictures on the Internets. Lori has my permission to post if she wants, meanwhile I will try to set up a photo account somewhere.

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

Yay, puppy pictures!

(whenever people get a chance to put them up)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just got investment spam from a domain that showed up as "interbu..." I had to click because my mind instantly read "interbunny"

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Oh, horsey portion of the hivemind....

Let's say a man in my novel wanted to give a woman a lift on his light cavalry charger. Would he boost her onto the horse and mount afterward? Or if there was someone else there to assist, would our cavalry officer mount first and have the other guy help the woman? And would it be easier for her to sit in front of the rider or behind? FWIW, this is a non-sexual situation, since the woman is the officer's cousin and has been a widow for something under an hour. I just need to get them onto the horse so I can wrap up the scene smoothly.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations to the haydens! Welcome Abraham! As an Illinois resident, I can't help but notice that he was born on the eve of Lincoln's birthday. (Unless he was born after midnight -- in which case - he shares Lincoln's birthday.) An auspicious time for Great Abes.

My younger brother shares his birthday with Lincoln. And Darwin. And the discovery of the fossilised remains of the world's oldest vomit.

Some of these items may have resonance with his birthday celebrations last night.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Do they celebrate Lincoln's birthday in Australia? Because we don't even celebrate it in the US anymore.

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

So if the older woman with bad eyesight who lives in my building leans over so she can stare at my laundry when we are in the elevator, I'm allowed to nickname her Creepy Old Woman, right?

eta: Hi Billytea! How's things?

Lee, I think you are obligated to.
