My viewing of the last series was all scattershot for some reason, so I don't think I even saw the last one. I'll get caught up eventually, especially if I start staying up way past bedtime again......

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For those of you in the Northern Hemisphere - Happy Autumnal Equinox! It doesn't happen until 9:03 PM board time, so enjoy those last 13 1/2 hours of summer!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm wearing a size 2 skirt today. Fits pretty well. Sure fits better than the size 8 I wore yesterday. That fit passably well, and much better than the 6 in the same style I also tried on.
I know this is the bit where I wish for standardised sizing, and I kinda do.
But then I look at so many of my clothes--I'd have to remember too many measurements, and not all of them *have* useful measurements. I mean, if it's free around the hips or sits halfway between waist and hip or has 3/4 sleeves or any of the other stuff that means that guys have a simple dress code and women get to play around--how do you size those?

Certainly not by neck measurement and sleeve length, anyway. Or waist and inseam. Too many variables, too many clothes, and WAY too many women.

ION, my Sausage McMuffin with Egg had a little bit of eggshell in it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
The one good part about universal sizing is that I would be able to guesstimate what size jeans I wear. I was in a hoity-toity used clothing store, and the sizes were all 25, 26, 27, and I had no idea what size I would be. I know that's not a waist measurement in inches, and it's certainly not inseam. Same again, when you're shopping half-European brands, and the sizing labels do not translate. I'd be happy to memorize my measurements in inches and cm, if only I could rely on being able to use one or the other!

yeah, my McD's coffee was super strong and not a little bitter (like me). Very disappointing day Chez Ronald.

Because books.
Man, now I want an Egg McMuffin and a hash brown. Without shells.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
AAIGGHH!
Okay, quick: what's about an inch and a half long, brown, has long thin hairlike legs and antennae out both ends, and is currently crawling up my wall? Is this dangerous? Do I need to kill it?
I can't reach it to crush it, and I don't wanna get near it anyway. eww
