Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

They've been protected, and the state fish, in California for the last decade. Too many young ones were going to aquariums. The population is healthy now.

I want a Roomba and a camcorder for Christmas. The cats do not.

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

If it were just a break, I'd be fine with it. But it'll take over everything, I tell you!!!1!1!

(and, sadly, still want to keep us around to clean the cat box)

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

I want two Roombas with random scheduling - i.e each Roomba would clean the apartment at random times. Occasionally, they both would try to clean at the same time. When that happens, they'd fight, with lasers.

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

God help me, I'm addicted to Mile High. First Green Wing, then this. What wily powers do the British wield?

Should I cut out the usual time where I miss it, catch the show later and love it, and just watch it now?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a flashback to my own life

Seriously.

It's BBC America, which means the season is probably almost over. When the feeling gets visceral, that's what it means. I swear, it's not even a good show. There's something about how it mixes the raucous bawdiness with "now you care for this character" sentimentality that gets me.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Jesse, right?

I had an ex who wanted me to vacum. Every day. It was almost so comical if it weren't depressing.

You have a lori.

Except lori has a pesky habit of going away on trips. And a roomba? doesn't do that. What does it say, "oh I've got to go sweep for landmines now?"

They do get out of warranty, though.

Usually. BBCA is like that.

Do they have a website saying what shows are coming so that I might actually check them out before the last ep? [link] Okay, so a site. Now to go through it to see if they promo upcomings.
