Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
do you think a glue-stick is going to help stop the run in my tights?
No, it'll just be icky.
Mmm. Tights.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Too late! I think it's OK, though.
I love tights, I do. But not when it's supposed to be summer! Or at least not freezing.

You know what I don't like? Firefox. I give up. I'm off to install Opera. I'll deal with opening a new application when sites aren't compatible. Clicking on a link and then backtracking to a page that's a) reloaded and b) scrolled back to the top? Who thought those were both good ideas? Especially b?

Huh. Firefox doesn't do that to me.

Yeah, the scrolling back to the top thing is what made me not like Firefox.

I remember both behaviours coming up in discussion of board behaviour. When I mark a post in Opera, for instance, it keeps me right at the post I marked. But there was a push to change the code so that when a post was marked you were given the page with that post as the first one. Personally, I hate that. Much of the time when I mark a post I don't want any more posts deemed read than at that very moment. But people said their browsers dumped them back at the top of the page. So it went in.
Also, if I start composing a post in Opera and then follow a link from this page, when I back up, the text is still there. I know other people get posts eaten this way, and I remember tommyrot posting an extension for Firefox that warns you if you try and navigate away from a page with unposted data. I'd assumed that was because the text got lost on reload.
Still, either way, Firefox is out and Opera is in. I gave it almost two months. No love.

ita, is there a regal cleaners in your neighborhood? they are sort of moderately priced and do a good job. Also, yelp says Westland on Westwood is okay. also moderately priced.
Still tired. Waffley about going to Las Vegas. I'm looking forward to something in my life not being hospital focused. But DAMN. Also am scared to go.

Hah! I think every NMican needs to be given copies of One of Our Fifty is Missing from New Mexico magazine at birth. Just to prepare them for the long road ahead.

There isn't a Regal on Westwood, which is pretty much where I'm limiting my search to. If I stray from here, it's back to the one on Barrington and Olympic. I'll try Westland, though.
I just can't believe it--$19 to dry clean a dress! A normal dress! I was going to ask for the itemised bill anyway, but that left me agog. This is where I went. Wish I'd know about the 20% off beforehand. And even then...
