"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I can't help myself. I'm watching You're the One That I Want, and I am singing along to. every. song.

Oh. Thank. God. Was afraid I was the only one, and I was about to ask for an intervention.

Sorry, ita! I'm just really lazy. I share my luddish ways to invite mockage, because really? I'm ridiculous.

The Pluto thing made me laugh until CNN killed my browser. Which should tell you something more about my ridic.

Because books.

::hugs Daisy Jane tight::

I'm going to be singing "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" in my sleep, I know it.

:hugs right back:

That song always makes my tear ducts act up.

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

Bah. There's a somewhat nasty fire in the three-flat three buildings down from me. No visible fire, but the entire building is filled with smoke. Firefighters on on the roof smashing things, and going through the whole building looking for people. It's weird - I could see their flashlights through the smoke, but not the firemen.

Then I went to the back alley to check things out there. That's where all the smoke was going. Now I stink of smoke.

Mmmmm. Smoked tommyrot!

It's possible I should go get some food.

Heh.

But seriously, I think I'm gonna have to take a shower. And um... how do I get this awful smoke smell out of my nostrils?

Go sniff coffee grounds. Hey, it works at Body Shop!

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

I keep coffee grounds in my purse to ward off migraine triggers. Works if I'm quick.

Sometimes you just can't, and if the fire's that close, you may be able to smell it from there. When the church about a quarter of a mile away was on fire, we smelled it as if it were in our house.

Also, did they mean to use "Money" as The Apprentice theme song?
