Buffistas

Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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

Workmen showed up at 8 this morning to replace 2 inside doors in our apartment which have had large holes in them since we moved in.

When I talked to my landlord about this last night, I was very clear that we had to be out the door by 10 am today, period, and I would much much rather they come on Sunday or during the week. She flatly ignored me, insisting that they would take at most half an hour to do the work, and they would be there at 8:30 sharp.

It is now 9:30. They have been working for 90 minutes, and they are not leaving yet. The doors in question are to the bedroom and bathroom, meaning I can't use either one for, oh, say, showering and getting dressed until they leave. Which they are not doing.

If I am late to my Harry Potter screening because of these morons, I will be VERY VERY UNHAPPY.

Grrrrr.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

(in response to Skee-Lo appearing in JZ's kitchen): I wish anything so exciting would happen in my kitchen. More likely a hairball will mysteriously appear on the tiles, though. SIGH.

No one has stepped forward to accompany me to IKEA, and I am vastly saddened.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Birthday Jessica!!

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

For no reason whatsoever, I bring you... a website devoted to Princess Leia's metal bikini: leiasmetalbikini.com

Photos of a bunch of women wearing the thing! Fan art! Make your own!

Thanks!

The workmen have left, btw. I had to have breakfast delivered, though.

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

Actually, I think I need a boyfriend by late 2006. I want to go as Wesley and Buttercup.

Sounds like a great start to a birthday, really. You just have to do some ignoring of the workmen and the timelines.

Happy birthday!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy birthday, Jess!

Theo, I would happily go to Ikea with you. Meet you in Stockholm at around 11-ish?
