I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, what I really should have done earlier was ask Nilly for her help with my graphs.... Is there any good/easy way to draw super simple graphs with regular MS Office? I literally just need x and y axis and one straight line, and excel wants me to be doing something different than I am, apparently.

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

It's really easy with Excel. What are you trying?

Oh, and there's a panel of House of M #8 I want to marry. Is that possible? Can that be arranged?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have two sets of numbers that should really be the coordinates of the line, but Excel wants them to be two separate lines.

I think I'm just going to draw the damn thing with a pen. No big deal.

You don't want me to go into the other room and work it out? Or maybe I could google...

Really, I just have to draw a total of like six straight lines. I think that'll take less time.

Fine. Spoil my fun.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Krycek! Is this disaster movie supposed to be a comedy? 'Cause I keep laughing.

You can feel free to try, if it makes you happy. The chapter is about utility, anyway, which is all about your happiness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah, pretty much. My Australian Shepherd used to try to herd anything he could - bugs, mice, toddlers...

I knew a Sheltie once who would herd the trees in his (owners') backyard. They all had little rings around them where he'd worn paths.

[eta that the closest my family's Springer Spaniel ever got to hunting was bringing us the occasional dead possum. She wasn't very bright.]

Ooh, I can fuck with excel! I have to make shit up with it all the time. I really wish it wouldn't assume stuff, though. Pisses me off.

The advantage of cat breeds over dog breeds is that you go in assuming they are all insane. It helps a lot.

There was something else....oh! I made sandwiches for the WHOLE WEEK. Hopefully I won't forget them this time. Suitably bland, unless I add stuff, like pesto or whatever. Starting with ham and havarti.
