No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Didn't all of her sisters cut off their hair so that she could spend that one day with him?

They cut off their hair to give her a dagger which could kill the prince and release her from the spell. But she wouldn't take it.

Hey, it wasn't Rapunzel, but it was the sort of fairy tale that stuck in my mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'll do half the bathroom when I'm on my way to bed, then the other half another day. Really, with my half-assed cleaning standards, the whole thing only takes 10 minutes.

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

I'll do the bathroom when you pry my non-bathroom-doing-things from my cold, dead hands....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita! Sign up for unemployement tomorrow, dammit! You put money into that system, and so did your ex-employer. It is time to extract it now. Don't waste the moneys which are rightly yours.

Does this mean you're finally getting the EST schedule? Yay!

Also, jesse? Bathroom cleaning is instant gratification.

How was today? I have more questions, but was braindead today. I didn't realize how braindead until this afternoon, when the fog started lifting. I'm tenatively thinking I'm getting better. Of course, it could morph into something else vile, but I'm no longer completely overwhelmed by how vile my head feels. Knocked over by sneezes, sure. But unable to hold a though? No more.

I love cleaning the bathroom. It's small, so quick to do, and it's staisfying when you're finished.

Oh, I wanted to share this amazing image: [link] From Monday's frontpage CSM article on Darfur. It's so freaking beautiful and evocative and sobering.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

msbelle, mentioned your new son to our Ethopian-American attorney today. She says congratulations and she'd be happy to translate in a pinch, "though he'd probably laugh at my accent"
