Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm ready for Memorial Day weekend. Between sitting in on continuing the law department's legal education presentations most of the morning(and doing so again tomorrow morning), then getting car maintenance that involved the expense of getting two brake pads replaced etc., followed by a vet appointment for Teddy, this has not been the day of my dreams.

On the other hand, the vet is pleased with Teddy's progress, pending the results of the blood work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I forgot the key part of my relationship with this particular guy: I think what's really after is actually my professional opinion on things. So it's not just the pleasure of my company, but also not The Nasty, that he's looking for.

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

Good news about Teddy!

Jesse, that make sense. I mean, to the awful cynic inside that I don't let out much.

I'm not saying we aren't friends!! (If he's lurking...)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I read the article earlier about the teachers and the terrorist drill earlier, and was aghast. I understand, totally, the idea of preparing kids for something like this. We had out first drill the other week, and I was pissed as fuck at some of the kids for jacking around. I think I went up to a few and said quietly, "You know, if this were real, you would have gotten us all killed. Think about that."

But I teach HIGH SCHOOL. High school kids who have LOTS of guns and jail time! And medications!! These were little kids! At what sounded like a field trip, or a lock-in. WTF??!!

It was France, where it is totally encouraged to teach by humiliation.

Oh, I'm so ripe for this. I would be so good at it. I have to hold myself back constantly. (which in general is a Good Thing, I admit.)

Ewan McG in Othello? With Chiwetel Lastname? OMG, that's so awesome! I have to tell my co-worker!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I understand, totally, the idea of preparing kids for something like this.

Preparing them to react to any (god forbid) real attack with suspicion and distrust. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

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

I think the end of this week's HIMYM may be even more gay than some gay porn AND Angel.

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

My neighbor's cat, Big Blue, just wandered into my apartment and scared the crap out of Ruby, who wants none of Big Blue. There was some low-rider kitty action followed by hissing.
