Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

Humans live most places, though, sarameg, that would be convenient to your job.

What's happening?

I have one crocheted pink thing, made from some crinkly variegated almost-velour you gave me, Kat. I looked to see if Wildfiber had any like that (I need a black/grey scarf) and couldn't find any. I ended up with some wonderful-feeling merino-mix, but it's a bitch to see stitches in, so I'm confined to simple double crochet. Pfft.

The almost velour is whozzit. chenille, right? Or am I misremembering?

Lori and I braved Ikea. They didn't have what we wanted. It was like we were goldilocks and everything in the store is not quite right.

Actually, shopping Ikea is usually a lesson in lowering your standards or in accpeting the almost right as close enough.

I may be falling for Mile High too, ita. It's not good, by a long shot, but it's fun, and the people are pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Almost velour sounds like chenille to me.

I am currently recording Mile High and may watch it someday if my DVR doesn't fill up before I can get to it. Which feels unlikely, given the redonkulous amount of schoolwork I should be doing.

At least I'm feeling ready for bed now, thanks to now quite enough sleep last night and two glasses of wine at dinner.

It's not as chenilley as that purple stuff I bought with you (I think you were there...scroll back for examples of me faking my own memories). It runs red through white, and has both a nap and a spring to it. It was pretty fun to work with, and has the most cuddly texture now that I'm done. But I need a scarf I can wear with anything, and that's not it.

Go team Mile High! I think the crap TV they show on BBC America is strangely addictive. If I get an hour in, there's always someone I'm shipping.

It really is. I even enjoyed Viva Blackpool.

I think there's only one season (which means nasty cliffhanger) -- UK style that's no more than 13 eps. Probably closer to 10. Fewer even.

I even enjoyed Viva Blackpool.

That had "Don't start, ita" written all over it. But TiVo recommendations kept picking it up for me anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I even enjoyed Viva Blackpool.

EVEN?! Viva Blackpool was fabulous.

Yep, ita, it's a thin chenille but I can't remember who it was made by. South West Trading Company maybe.
