I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I'm rewatching House S1, and was I the only one that never really "got" the stuff between Cameron and House? I get the plot, but it never felt at all real to me. Almost threw me off the show first time out.

Nope, me too. I don't really see any evidence for it, and it feels so unprofessional that it bugs me.

So I went to sit down and consider student work so I could write a good reflection on the lesson I taught... and I fell asleep for an hour. After being really loud and distracting all day, suddenly my entire street seems to have gone completely quiet just to let me nap.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

(the wooly mouse toy disappeared already. Dunno where.)

I was going to send you two, but Gilda (The Destroyer) was far too successful in her attempt to get to the chewy middle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Does anyone know any interesting jewelry websites? I'm looking at Uncommon Goods, and seeing some good stuff, but wondering about other locations. For some reason I'm feeling sketchy about Overstock today, since I'm going to have to have the stuff sent to the mother directly, so I won't have a chance to see if it sucks.

I got some stuff for my family from Novica.com for Christmas. I bought mirrors and clothes, not jewelry, but they seem to have some cool jewelry.

Not sure what sort of thing you are looking for, but you prompted me to look up the place in New Orleans where I got a locket years ago. Looks like she's still up & running: [link]

Trust my rage

I don't really see any evidence for it, and it feels so unprofessional that it bugs me.

Totally. I sort of get where she's coming from, but it's way unprofessional. Still, I mainly watch to see what crazy things he will say.

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

Cameron's a freak and House is a prick.

I also stopped watching the show, so either or both of those statements may no longer be true.

I have no cats.

I spent the morning teaching and taking krav. I had a "krav is so cool" moment that will mean nothing to anyone here. In the class I was assisting, I taught gun from the front defense and then the lead instructor taught the defense for gun from the side (in front of the arm). And very well. Once they'd gotten that, she taught them gun from the front (with pressure) defense which goes like "Twist your body out of the way and then do the defense for gun from the side (in front of the arm)."

It was just so tidy and kravvy.

Then I took fight, partnered with the biggest and most savvy guy there, was mildly humiliated, and was then dropped by a punch to the thigh (yeah, that thigh) from someone else.

Never been dropped before.

25 pretty roses from Trader Joe's after not killing anyone in the parking lot. And then comics.

I will shower, and then bathe (because I'm indolent like that), food, errands, maybe even read those lovely comics calling to me.

Oh, yeah, Saturday rocks.

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

NO OUTSIDE PANTS!

I wish I'd listened to you. That was a TOTAL waste of outside pants, since the vet was out of big bags of food, and all of the drivers between here and there were being totally aggro.

On the other hand, I now have a burrito bigger than my head, which means I don't have to worry about dinner either.

I hope your thigh is okay, ita.

Always Anti-fascist!

No...both still true. I agree that they didn't really set up the vibe, but I'm such a Cameron I fill it in well enough.
