Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for good job news for Buffistas and Buffista-relatives!

I think this may be the year I actually don't watch the SOTU. Rock on.

I just got my eyebrows done for the first time in forever, and I feel like a new woman. Not bad for $8, including tip.

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

I never would have called you cheap, but...

That's cheap, Jesse! Lucky. I need to make an appointment at Burke Williams to get mine done. Maybe late this week or early next.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am home and so excited that I am getting rid of a light fixture tomorrow that I do not even KNOW! I need to eat dinner, do a wee bit of paper work and maybe knit some. Can I do all that in 2 hours? Maybe.

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

I haven't watched SOTU since Clinton. And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!" That whole civic duty thing went out the window when I realized that shooting out the teevee is just so Elvis.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

hurumph. Not only is the East Coast a more issue-oriented coast, but they seem to be able to get their eyebrow waxing done for like, a third of the price.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The cheap personal services thing is one of the main benefits of living in the boroughs -- you get the nail-shop-on-every-corner thing AND the cheaper-than-Manhattan thing. Therefore, $6 eyebrow waxing. I'm seriously considering getting fake nails for when I start my job search.

And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!" That whole civic duty thing went out the window when I realized that shooting out the teevee is just so Elvis.

You have a point.

Our wings are not tired.

I think this may be the year I actually don't watch the SOTU. Rock on.

I've skipped it since the first year I watched the Bush SOTU. I think I scared the kids with the yelling at the tv. It really is more than I can take.

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

And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!"

Oh, me too, so much. But I haven't been able to make it through a single one of Dubya's -- I watched the beginnings of the first few, but never made it more than 20 minutes in before I had to either turn the TV off or hurt something.

I'm thinking about watching it with beer in hand and abuse at the ready.
