In Bitches...
Madrigal:
Maybe the echidna skull could be useful in getting the visas back. There's the "I'm a voudun priest and I could wreak some major mojo on your ass" method, the "I'm the next Steve Irwin, you can't interrupt my travel plans" method, the "This is the skull of my country's first prime minister and must be returned to the national museum - yes, I know it's small, that's how you know it's authentic" method, and, "Dude, I got an echidna skull. That so outranks everyone else here with their gerbil skulls" method.
billytea:
Hee. From now on, all my dealings with the US Consulate will begin with "Dear Gerbil Skull".
In Firefly:
joss: These people are just so alive to me, and not just because we cast living actors. (We were of course accused of anti-Zombieism, but I've auditioned a few and no offense, they move really slowly and they eat your brains. Just like Latvians.)
(I just laughed out loud when I read this, I couldn't help myself. Also, braaaaaaaains).
billytea:
So they haven't got back to me on an offer. If they do, I'm going to attribute it to the aptitutde testing. Now I can only hope that my duties will include completing sequences of coloured shapes.
Buffista Fic
Erin:
What surprises me is the lack of Laurell Hamilton fic. That pretty much SCREAMS "come fic me." (And it has the pumps to prove it...)
From Natter:
Jess PMoon, linking to some geeky paleontology story,
Oldest, undeniably male fossil found in British rock group.
and DX running with it,
It's Keith Richards, isn't it?
Daniel in Previously:
And the remedy
Is that we're serious
And it's les liaisons dangerous...
The tragedy
Is that we'll spend
The rest of our lives with Firefly on
Show the light to all of your friends
— Shiny thing —
Cause it all amounts to something
In the end.
I... Won't let Firefly fade 'way...
Aimee after a good review at work (from Bitches):
t still doing cabbage-patch
Ginger:
I think of myself as a relatively sane, relatively normal-looking middle-aged woman, but doctors seem to take one look at me and see the lost weekend.
