You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My jobs have generally been officially 9-5, with nasty looks heaped upon people (exempt people) who leave at 5-ish.

I am now at the point where I have too many things that all need to be done OMG RIGHT AWAY, so I can't deal with any of them. AWESOME.

I'm inclined to do the easiest, but it's not nearly the most important/first due.

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

In the automotive world, a "sleeper" is a car that looks ordinary and pedestrian, like something your grandparents might drive, but in reality is a powerful, high-performance car. The fun part of driving a sleeper is pulling up to sporty cars at stoplights and then blowing them away by out-accelerating them....

My salon uses aveda and about half the time I end up having to wash my hair within a few hours of a cut. It doesn't translate to pain, just....extreme annoyance, even as I logically like the scent. It just starts making me really irritable.

Our wings are not tired.

Allyson, please schedule your booking with Jon Stewart now.

Oh my, how I like the sound of that...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Allyson, please schedule your booking with Jon Stewart now.

Your confidence makes me giggle. I have none of those expectations. I'm just stoked that the firefly fans are giving me a little table space at Wondercon to put out flyers.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My office jobs have been either 9 - 5 (with 1 hour lunch) 8 - 5 (with a 1 hour lunch) or 8:00 - 4:30 (with a half hour lunch). At my university, there is no office (except medical departments which see patients) open past 5:00, and in many cases offices close at 4 or 4:30 (bursar's, registrar's, parking).

The status is NOT quo.

YAY ALLYSON! I just happen to have a bottle of champagne that needs to be opened...IJS.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I just pre-ordered Allyson's book!

Allyson, has your publisher started setting up a promotional tour for you yet? Because I was just thinking that a great interview for you would be on WGN radio, with Nick Digilio. His late-night weekend show is very pop-culture heavy (he's interviewed Tim at least once that I recall), and his listeners are really into things like your book. Also, in the nighttime hours, WGN's 50,000 watts can be heard in 38 states and a few provinces.
