You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

...and we're swinging again.

I intruded on Emmett long enough to talk to him in his room. He was sitting in his rocking chair with a tree branch in his lap. "Can we carve this into a rifle?"

"Uhm. It's a little late to start wood craft project. And we don't have any tools. I don't know...If you want to walk down to the hardware store with me and it's still open we'll see if we can get a few things."

He cheered up instantly at the prospect of a Project, even allowing as how the hardward store might already be closed.

But it wasn't and we got a piece of 2x6, and a dowel, and a saw and a wood chisel and some nails and came merrily home. Have sawed the 2x6 in half. JZ has reviewed the internet and drawn on a pattern and woodshop is on.

Phew. I'm exhausted.

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

How do you make that bed remotely practical? Where can one live, or how easily does it disassemble?

I think Kat and Lori have an auto-pour (misnomer) kettle, but not the one linked to from that page.

Ah, Emmett. It's good that kids are fickle, except when it's not.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

See, my dad would have shot me that "Are you on CRACK? You're being a brat!" look.

And then sent me off to play with the rusty old .22 in the basement.

The rocking chair/rifle visual would probably have won me over. And then we could have gone Winchester shopping, or practised krav defenses.

pfft. practical. it is an outdoor bed for people with big outdoor space. you only need to take in the bedding/mattress.

ok. me for bed. hopefully I will get up early enough tomorrow to watch GA while stretching.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

GA is pretty good tonight. I'm gonna get some chocolate pudding to go with it.

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

ita, are you watching Mile High? I am very confused, and feel like we missed a series.

That's where I teach. To anyone lurky and stalkery--it's full of people who'd love an excuse to kill. Just saying. Including me.

Are you starting krav? Did I miss that?

Moving a mattress is hard! Or at least not fun.

Perkins, from the previouslies (I'm just starting) it looks like a direct segue. I'm too scared of being spoiled to go look and see the gap between series. Huh. Is this the same theme music? I don't think I've ever listened to it before.
