You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I lived in Birmingham, MI they had valet parking at the supermarket. Free. Not something I ended up making use of, because it was just weird.

Oh, and the cover of the Seattle Times today is about LA and Seattle swapping weather: [link] The website doesn't have the same visual oomph as the paper, which gives you cherry blossoms and sunshine in Seattle right beside clouds of doom over the LA skyline.

We're under a burn ban. In February. Granted, it's for pollution rather than fire risk, but still.

You want me to tape for you, ita?

Not ita, but yes. Pretty please?

Hi Nilly! Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?

My TiVo has accepted my recording request. I'm golden.

okay Lee. We got you covered; now, if we'll ever remember to bring the tape? separate issue.

Did you see the part where I am changing jobs and moving to Palo Alto?

No, I didn't! Congratulations! When? When did that happen? Does that mean you have to move? Details, please.

I'm boggled by tommyrot's link -- both by the idea Koko has a sordid nipple fetish, and by the fact some of her keepers apparently decided to indulge it. I mean, even with a cat you can say, "just because you want it doesn't mean you're going to get it," so I'm sure a gorilla with a thousand-word vocabulary would grasp the concept. (if not the nipples.)

I needed to see that again ...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Somehow I doubt it's actually Koko with the nipple fetish.

You're probably right, but the idea of a gorilla signing "show me your tits" like a drunken Gallaudet frat boy is comedy GOLD.

(I don't think sexual harassment is funny, of course, but I can bend that a little if it involves an ape.)
