Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Huh. I can't use it cause I'm macified. That irritates me.

Almostas much as the Britney Spears commercial for Curious does.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm sure I've told this story here before, but: when I was a kid, my mother traveled for work a lot, but my father didn't. Once he did have a business trip, and after a couple of days my mother and I looked at each other, trying to figure out why the house was suddenly a mess. My father totally goes around cleaning up after us all the time! If sometimes over-zealously.

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 have options with your Kleenex, Cass?
You don't? You should look into the upgrade.

Note: I'm not saying the slob can just be a slob, either, but if someone wants daily vacuuming?! That person can do it.

So, I'm inputting grades and I have another set of papers to grade.

Yeah, I really want to be able to use it here (on the ancient laptop) but it's unmixy.

Do you have ginger snaps? That would help. Or the ginger cookie men of Pepperidge Farm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Total Rainy Day commute: 4:27.

Yikes! My Total Rainy Day commute was about 45 minutes (20 in the morning, 25 in the evening).

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

my mother and I looked at each other, trying to figure out why the house was suddenly a mess. My father totally goes around cleaning up after us all the time!

Oh, dear god. My father isn't a flake like sara describes her father--rather he doesn't think he should have to bother. Every now and again we ask him what he thinks happens to the stuff he doesn't put away. He never answers. That is, I think, why he allows other people to exist.

Alex irritates me. He needs to be less understandable. Which I whitefont, because for a while, I thought he wasn't going to be that at all.
