hip deep in pie

Eureka's 13, Intelligence is 13, and he's not lead on Eureka anyway, so maybe he's got the stamina.

He's not a lead on Intelligence either (though I think it's a meatier role than Eureka). I think he's just keeping himself employed year round.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to look around at wig availability--something rockerish in an ashy blonde will work.

I'm sure you can find the right wig in LA.

I just had the kind of meeting I hate -- where I all but admit "I'm not sure I know how to do my job," but not in so many words, and the boss is like, "I got nothing." Argh! At least someone pointed out who I should actually be saying this to. Am now taking deep breaths.

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

I'm sure one can find the right wig in LA.

But I guess I have time to look around. Maybe not today, though.

Jesse, does having some direction for this concern help?

Made appointment to have a physical on Thursday and my eyes examined tomorrow. If I need new glasses (or, really, can get them, since it's been two years since the first pair) hopefully I can swing that in short order.

I had a waking nightmare last night. So very weird. Haven't had one of those since I was wee. But the upside to a waking nightmare is that they're easy to talk myself out of being jarred by them, even when the visual persists.

This one wasn't even that scary. I have two swords, well, one training sword and one real one, propped by the side of my bed. When I woke up and looked over, one was swarming with these black and white lizards crawling up it, and whose weight was making it turn.

It was pretty simple to remind myself that there were no lizards with morphing Rorshach blot patterns in real life, but even when I closed my eyes, they wouldn't go away. Ick.

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

Robotic litter box cleaner foiled by cats:

This ingenious auto-cleaning litter box has a weight-sensitive switch connected to a step that's triggered when kitty exits. After a seven-minute countdown -- to prevent your furry friend from taking a tumble -- the globe rotates about 270 degrees, sifting the clean litter through a grate and dropping the poo clumps through two trap doors into a receptacle below. The dome then returns to the starting position -- no muss, no fuss. Except one of my cats wouldn't go near the thing (and who could blame him? It looks like the interrogation droid from Star Wars), and the other one cleverly avoided the step, forcing me to run the Litter-Robot in manual mode. I tried pushing my fraidy-cat into the Litter-Robot, but his resistance was impressive. He ended up scratching me and running away -- pussy! The Litter-Robot is a cool idea, but it just didn't get shit done.

Aunty Entity.

Looking for something with less forward bangs action. Not that I'll match her hairline, and simply evoking Tina will help with recognition.

ita, I get a "Ooops la pagina non può essere trovata!" error from that first link.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Not to interrupt Auntie Entity, but -- have all y'all seen this week's Time magazine cover?

"Ooops la pagina non può essere trovata!"

That's so much more chic in Italian.
