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

Sure beats a truckload of shit.

OMG is it a universal time-space continuum thing, and not just "We've secretly switched her real coffee with something that tastes remarkably like, but with completely inert caffeine molecules."

Dear universe: I noticed.

The IRA has declared it will cease using violence as a tool. [link]

I wonder if the London bombings had anything to do with it. Maybe they realized they were in danger of being lumped in with Al Qaeda, or maybe it was "Well, this is dumb, we are all Christians here" (though I wonder how the IRA justified possibly offing Jews and Buddhists and whomever). Maybe it was a bit of Anglo-Saxon-Celt unity.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Baby opossums are so cute!

And adult opossums are so not.

This is probably true of many animals, but it's been brought home to me by the many opossums that have wandered through my parents' yard over the years.

As I took her out for her walk at 6 this morning, what did I see in the yard but an opossum with two babies on her back! All so very cute and fluffy and staring right at us with bright black eyes.

I saw one of those on the stairs of the building in Brookline where I was living in a basement apartment (there were two down stairs flanking a front entrance - it was on the other set of downstairs). Freaked me right out because I couldn't figure out what the hell it was. I ticked off the list - not a skunk, no; rattish tail, but the face is all wrong; not a racoon with that tail, nope. Finally I realized.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait. What? I would have figured that most men having sex with animals were pitching, not catching. (Re: Joe's dead guy, not the various possums.)
