You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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

Ha! Red Stripe on this week's Stargate. Jamaica rules.

Jesse, I think it would be weird. But I concede that it may be a personal quirk or summat. Since others seem to think it normal.

I think if the diploma is the ONLY thing on your walls, then yeah, that might be weird. But if it's just one thing among many, then totally normal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I confess to thinking it's weird. I think I'll get it framed anyway, and then decide if I'm going to take it to work. (If for no other reason than to keep it nice -- I have no idea where my undergrad diploma is.) There are lots of pictures and stuff on the walls.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Hello, all. I am here to report that VW has food in her house. I have also seen aforementioned house (it is hard to unload from a car with a blindfold on) and it it bitchin'. Nice hardwood floors, spacious, cool.

Also, there is a farmer's market right down the street on Saturday afternoons, with a small jazzy band -- guitars, flute, a bass. Awesome!

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

For the first time in I-can't-remember-how-long, I am sitting in my living room with the windows open and not even a fan running, and it is beautiful. I think I'll walk over to the park later, just to enjoy this unbelievable weather.

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

One of my krav friends (Z--I should email him) used to frame his belt test certificates--in a shadow box, with the corresponding belt (we're not given belts, and don't wear them--he bought his own). Sounded really nice and tasteful except, whereinhell would I ever put that up? I also have two certificates from yellow through blue, having taken those tests twice.

Mostly I could never put something up on the wall commemorating an achievement of mine. But I come from a family that threw away my pictures instead of putting them on the fridge (oh, they'll hang my stuff now, even what I hate), and my father once called me to translate his diploma into English because he couldn't remember what he had his Masters in.

Art Crawl!!!

Jessica -- isn't it amazing?

I've been sleeping with blankets for the past three nights.

Hey! Colin's girlfriend is on this week's Psych. She's Sally.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh I need to grab this week's episode. I carpetbombed last night's for something else, racing likely.

Also, I noted a woman named Acquanetta McLaughlin in my college alumnae bulletin, which arrived yesterday. For reals.
