Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

kat, yes, I am. Plus, you know, I just really miss you. Shall I email you tomorow to find out a good time to arrive?

Robin, yep!

Yeah, ita, our current house is less dust mite heaven, but still. Hmm.... so yes that makes me reconsider your nice chenille cushions.

Art Crawl!!!

Some slightly hopeful FNL News:

NBC has ordered six more scripts.

That's good, right?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Could be what -t said or could be something on the hand wheel that toggles. I don't know that particular machine.

Yeah. It's kind of a hard one to find support for and that's before calculating in its ancientness. It could also be something on the hand wheel though, because I was having issues with the belt when pressing the pedal, so I was futzing with that a lot. Bah! I shall think no more on it!

I hope so. I would be really, really sad to see that show go. There is so much to explore there. I love how it shows that sort of small town in the (sort of by some standards) South, warts and all, and finds some real affection for the culture while acknowledging its problems.

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

The guidelines I read didn't distinguish between various sorts of cushions as potential mitehouses. But Kristin will probably know better, at the very least. But I supposed that they could make the coverings out of the same stuff as the higher end mattress covers. I don't mind the mattress cover I got, but it is noisier than I'm used to.

Oh, if the handwheel has an inner knob/wheel that twists within the outer wheel (not turning anything like a belt, just loosening and tightening sort of on its own), that could be it. I've sewn on some machine or other that did that.

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

Perkins the cat just went insane, and is chasing air from one side of the apartment to the other.

Am I allowed to lock him in the closet?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Well, it has the stop motion, but I haven't noticed another. Then, I fucked with the wheel less using the stop motion than I did recently.

I feel like if I could fiddle with it I could figure it out, but I can't visualize it well enough to fiddle remotely. Sorry.

Lee, I can't believe you want to let the air get away! I am also imagining the thump thump thump of a crazed cat inside a closet, and that would not be soothing. But you know Perkins best.
