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

Oh, good, it's not just me. I thought it was because I had bad breath.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
My cousin got married this last year in Ireland. They then went to Ethiopia for a big celebration with his new wife's family. Then, this summer, probably in August, there was to be a big celebration in Alaska with ours. I've been asking about dates for months, so that I can get tickets. I found out yesterday that they need to have it within two weeks from Saturday, and that some of the family can't make it on the second Saturday. If I go the first Saturday, it will cost me over $500 to fly to Anchorage, and then a 3.5 hour car trip each way from Anchorage to North Kenai. If it's the second Saturday, it will cost over $350 each way to Anchorage, and I may or may not be able to ride with someone to North Kenai, because it's the Anchorage family that has other plans. So, if I had to fly, it would probably be another $200. I just can't see paying that kind of money to fly to Anchorage, when, if I had heard a week earlier, it probably would have cost about $280. I'm not really upset, because my family is just like that. They would change the time for me if they could, but then the bride couldn't be there, and even I see the lack of logic with that. Still...don't you just love families.
Also, Alaska Airlines is having web specials to Fairbanks of $289. The flight goes through Anchorage, but you can no longer just get off the plane, because if you do, they'll at least cancel the rest of your ticket, and probably call out Homeland Security. And less than a month ago they had a web special to Anchorage for $211. Ah. Maybe they'll have another. Don't you just love airlines.
I think my cousin and his wife may have to party without me. On the bright side, this gives me a great excuse to visit them in California...perhaps around September 30.

I had a lizard run up my pants leg.

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

Sadly, no. But I've made a good start.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

6.8 isn't hugely bad, is it?Depends on where it is, what's underneath and what the construction is like. It can be a twitch or there can be liquifaction and that never leads anywhere good. Off to check it out.
Sadly, no. But I've made a good start.Well, so long as you keep trying...

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Suddenly I'm glad for my lack of cleavage.
Completely unrelated... I just watched Napoleon Dynamite . Color me bemused. Did I miss something, or is there really nothing to miss?
