So now the cool kids watch ads? I can't keep up.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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

Does anyone else feel compelled to read all of Harry Potter from the beginning before the next one comes out?
I was packing up my books tonight and actually thought "maybe I should leave those out." You know, along with the 20-odd books I'm planning to read and give away before I move. It's a sickness.
In other moving news, on Mayflower's moving form, my options for the (required) title field were "Mr," "Mrs," or "Miss". Are they kidding me? It was one of those times I really wanted to use Dr.--but it wasn't a friggin' option.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I feel like I need to read the fifth book again. Possibly the sixth since I zoomed through it.
I can't see the words oh goodness without hearing them as said by Lillian (she says it a lot).
Hee. My nephew used to say "Oh my goodness" a lot. It was adorable. Mine above has a slightly different inflection.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are they kidding me?
Was the form on carbon paper??

That's my point. I know that some people feel strongly about using Mrs. but does anyone use Miss? I really don't think the movers need to know my marital status.

does anyone use Miss?
Oh christ yes. At my school, ever woman is called Miss. Not Miss t insert last name just Miss. And it's pronounced like this "Meeesss".
In fairness, every man is called Mister. That's it. No name. Just Mister.

Out loud is different, though.
The only grownups I know who are adamant about using Miss are old maiden ladies. And I only know them through direct mail -- they write back angry if you use Ms.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oops. I thought the board went down at 8:00.
I was close.
So, who did anything/something exciting this weekend?

The status is NOT quo.
Oh no! I forgot the board is going down in an hour. How will I procrastinate?
So, who did anything/something exciting this weekend?I've had a nice weekend. Right now I'm watching Season 2 of Slings & Arrows for HOMEWORK. Best homework ever.
