Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was pretty scarred when I saw the film but I think I was 15 at the time and more in love with horses than boys.

Hair is cut, grocery shopping is done. Laundry is underway, but will take for freaking ever because the coin slot on one of the machines is jammed. And no, I didn't notice that until I'd loaded the washer and put in the soap. Of course. And I have 3 loads.

I am really, really, really not getting a headcold.

flea, I've been in a similar situation (unruly neighbors, worrying about retribution) before, sadly. I think you'll be fine. And keep calling the cops as necessary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our local paper yesterday had a little blurb in the entertainment section about a group of parents who are horribly distressed at "their" Harry doing a play like this -- a play that anyone, anyone can go to, that might end up scarring their little darlings from the horror of seeing Harry Potter's junk

People are so stupid sometimes.

Although, who am I to talk, because I'm sitting here wishing I had a bottle of wine in the house, but not enough to put outside pants back on to go buy one. Instead I'm sitting here Ilan-style with my hoodie on, watching TV off my DVR.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I feel like such a slug. So far today, I've eaten breakfast and played with one of the cats. I think I need to go put some laundry away or something like that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well, yeah, but you're still one up on the Harry Potter/Equus parents. After all, you're not forming a lobbying organization to beg someone else to be responsible for your decisions and think of the CHILDRUN before they stand back and let you sit around not wearing your outside pants.

You're not, are you?

I'm not!! At least I keep my dopiness to myself.

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

I have a bottle of wine in my house, if that helps any, Jesse.

I suspect it does not.

Having showered with violet soap, I feel all purple-inclined. So amethyst pendant and purple sweater. All to doze in front of the TV until Container Store time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I feel like I should be in a TV commercial so I can say "I'm cleaning my oven" and "I'm cooking dinner" while sitting ath the computer. self cleaning ovens and crockpots rule

Sadly, you are correct.

I had bananas in my oatmeal this morning if we're still keeping track.
