I got stabbed, you know, right here.

We had a Stonehenge set that was in danger of being trampled by a fuckin' garden gnome.

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

I knew I was forgetting something in the garden planning!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Clever.
Instead of doing my billables, I'm using my free time today to read Lingua Franca. [link] God, that was such a good magazine. Reading academics writing in the nineties is hilarious. What, exactly, is "a person of gender" supposed to be?! (OK, I know that it's supposed to be a woman. But it's also interesting to read back when the same culture war division wasn't called "red state" and "blue state" but rather revolved around "politically correct.")

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Any of you people with free time want to figure out what I will need for the next 6 weeks and how to fit it all in my car? I used to have it down to a science, but that was before I had a rather large cat carrier to include.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I can still get really mad about that shit. Like men don't have gender?!? White people don't have race?!?!?!? Anglos don't have ethnicity?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!@@@@@
My 2pm meeting got postponed and then cancelled, A Good Thing. It would have been my third update meeting this week, mostly with all the same people. @@

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A non-androgyne?

yeah, don't like...if it pisses you off that male is the default normal, you ought not to act that way yourself. And like people are gonna take that up! "She thought she could reform him with the love of a good person of gender."

I note in passing that urine, while 'yucky', is mostly sterile, i.e. you can actually use it to wash out wounds in survival situations. It'd be like brushing your teeth with alcohol, though perhaps not as fun.
Geez, am I glad they invented toothpaste.

There was possibly some cheering outside my office just now. We're trying to figure out, if it's world cup related, who on earth they were cheering for. Was it some crew of expats from Deutsche Bank? People in an English pub down the street? Trinidadian construction workers? We have no idea. Of course, it was probably something completely unrelated.
