Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

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

I'm super annoyed on principle that I still have classes to go to this semester

This is the same sort of thinking that gets Christmas music into the stores before American thanksgiving. Which reminds me -- if y'all moved thanksgiving before halloween, there'd be more pumpkins around. Hmm. Needing fresh pumpkin used to seem more urgent. Can't quite recreate the feeling.

Oh, sarameg, that is awful. I had no idea baggage carts ran into planes, certainly not hard enough to delay shit. Twice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, apparently canned pumpkin is now mostly other squashes, because pumpkins are grown more for looks than taste. How that makes them different from any other damn thing, I don't know. But it's a thing, apparently.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ack, Sarameg. I am sorry you had such a terrible flight, and I take back the saramegasitis comment.

Dana, good luck to your family with the oil and the whole situation.

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

A web logger gets turned away at the US border after the border guard googles him, and discovers that he has been living illegally in the US.

What a moron. "I had no idea being Googled at the border was a possibility!" Yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't publish your illegal residency on the internet and then tell the border guards about it.

Art Crawl!!!

So, Alias will be on Wednesday on December 7th and the 14th and then there will be another new episode on December 15th. You know, because the producers of Alias like to keep us hopping.

I found it hard to get worked up about his plight. Not least of all because Canada's pissier for a Jamaican to get into than the US, and as an up-til-recently visa wielder, it's been drilled into me since I was wee that you might consider bomb jokes at security checks, but you never fuck with the immigration guys.

If I only had a brain...

Guys, WATCH OUT for those zinc swabs. There's a class-action suit that they sometimes completely destroy the sense of smell and taste, permanently. That's why doctors stopped using zinc swabs in the 30s.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I have been both the messy one and the clean one in roommate situations. Tom and I tolerate around the same amount of/type of mess, and we generally get motivated in individual spurts. This winds up with one person cleaning more often or more intensely one week and the other picking up the slack the next week. Occasionally one of us gets annoyed at the other for slacking, but it's a relatively rare occasion. Tom tends to do the everyday stuff, and I go nuts on the vacuuming/scrubbing/bathroom stuff on the weekends.

Hec's commute broke my heart, as did sarameg's flight home of madness.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got caught in the middle of a messy/clean roommate situation. One of the guys was a neat freak, the other a total slob. I was kinda sorta middlin' and they both came to me complaining about the other guy.
