They evac'd the zoo?! Yikes. The bats were probably mostly sleeping.
You home now, Allyson?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Back when my dad lived out there, there was a fire in Griffith Park and all these morons apparently parked on the road leading up to the Observatory to watch, blocking the firefighting vehicles' access. So they brought in a bulldozer and shoved the cars down the hill. Something like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly, because I'm watching today's Ellen show, I'll give American Idol one thing: At least the show is putting forth a lot of pop singers who can actually sing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Now tagless for your comfort.
That story has me cracking up and wishing my dogs could talk. Fortunately, with two toddlers in the house, they rarely get to the "OMG, I AM SO STARVING!" stage. It's mostly, "How do I steal that cookie from the tiny person without making her cry and bringing down the wrath of the mommy person?" Or "Oh, random blueberry droppage! Nummy!"
Thankfully, I haven't caught them rummaging for random tubers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I saw them the other day, outside a nearby grocery store. They biked off wearing dashing bike helmets, soon after I spotted them.
As far as I know Colin's been working like a dog in Vancouver for weeks now. I'd say maybe it was his brother, but there's a good six inch difference in height there just to start off with.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, that sweet potato story has me laughing and laughing. I suspect I'm in for a bout of that myself later on. I went to the post office & the library today, and because I wasn't altogether sure how close the post office was to the bus stop, I figured I might be gone quite a while. So I fed the Biscuit early, before I left. Of course, everything went terribly smoothly, so I was back within an hour. And of course, he'd eaten. So now it is coming up on his normal dinner time and I suspect soon will be telling me, "I am starving, yo. Woe. If the SO were home, he would feed me. He has a heart, unlike you." Although right now he is just sleeping and is a bundle of cute.

Carter: "Why does the dummy look like me?"
Henry: "It's generic!"
So it could be a very honest mistake.

Cashmere, you did not just do that.
If I were a slightly more suspicious person I'd think you and Sean set that up on purpose. But there is the Buffista fannish zeitgeist to be considered.
