Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Ann, that's a ferret.

From Corwood's link:

“I think that people in Fairfax, VA say a lot of things.”

A commenter noted:

Fairfax is like ’50s Dallas or, well, today’s Dallas. Tons of crazy right wing outfits.

Actually, Fairfax (County) is suburbia. Where 1 in 3 residents was born outside the U.S. Los Angelenos, think Orange County without palm trees. Or a beach. Or this week, without sunshine.

You know, whenever my dad is bitching about most of his state legislators being dumber than dirt (he has to deal with the lot of them) I point out that if he lived an hour south, he could play with the Texas legislature, where the whacko is even louder.

He doesn't like it when I play silver lining. It disrupts his grump.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Plans:

Friday we have a half day at work and I'm spending the other half at a day spa getting a massage, facial, mani and pedi. I am so looking forward to it!

Saturday: dinner & Revenge of the Sith.

Good thing: Unexpected date with the BF last night. He was in my neck of the woods for work, so we got to see each other and go out for supper.

And, I vote cookies.

ChiKat, did you get a chance to watch Lost last night, even with your date?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm instead going to glare narrow-eyed at him

eep!

Though in my defense, it was all about experiencing New Orleans for the first time. And I won't retract because it was worth it just to read about your Rome trip.

Yes, I did. Thank you again! He left around 9:30 (since he lives 1 1/2 hours away) and I sat and watched LOST. Vincent made me cry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dude, serious party foul, David. You don't tell a group of people including your wife that your favorite vacation was to your honeymoon location with a previous paramour.

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

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

Damn, Hec, what were you thinking about...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Though to be fair, apparently the B&B he went to with the Tall Blonde Goddess was nicer than ours -- cherubs and froufrou and real china plates and teacups at breakfast.

Rome would've been better with Hec there, but I doubt we'd have gotten free board at the convent that way.
