Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Soon then. After we are done sipping cocktails, we can go corrupt SF.

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

That is really very touching, ita.

It's such a supportive environment -- I'm so lucky.

I am disheartened to have realized that I already used the headlight thing on my new vacuum

I feel ... betrayed.

Is there something similar I am missing about cleaning tile or whatever my crappy kitchen floors are?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Is this even possible? Because I'm willing to give it a shot...

I feel ... betrayed.
So do I a little. I'm waiting for the Resolve crap to dry right now so I can vacuum the living room. Again. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

Ooh, shiny.

Dunno. We should try though.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

psst... Cass is a clean freak. pass it on.

I am drinking wine and watching Cheaper by the Dozen. Actually I have finished the movie. which has made me request bios of the Gilbreth family. I wonder if I will read them. DH is off with his friend the tree guy. who promised that they would cut me a heart shaped piece of wood. out of walnut. I have no idea if this will really happen. sadly, I should clean the shower out so I can take a shower. so we can watch BSG when Dh comes home.

welcome to my brain rambles.

Well, the second load of laundry is in the washer -- I'm not sure what top I'll be wearing tomorrow -- the pink krav baseball jersey is probably too twee. The black tops look too harsh. Maybe something in grey.

The instructor (female) who's staffing with me has already started on her aneurysm. When she sees the grey and pink runners, she will likely complete it.

People are so funny. Half of them think I'm way too cheery, and the other half think I'm way too dark. A couple of them are struggling to bridge what they've seen of both, and are trying to shove me to one side or another.

I wear pink. I don't need to be angry to hit people really hard. Sometimes all the joy drops from my face, but it's still in my heart. It's never in my e-mail sig, because that's just weird. I like to share the gross things that cross my mind. They make me laugh.

It's not that complicated.

One day soon , Cass may show up at my house , just to clean. I will feed her and give her adult beverages.

Hey, NO bogarting the cleaning freak Cass. It was my idea first.
