Okay, I'm finally off the phone with tech support, although I've been on the phone so long that my ear hurts.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We never close early, short of losing power or the weather turning really, really bad. Oh & humongous national disasters where everyone freaks the hell out.
So not very often. Maybe 3 times in 10 years?
And of course, I'm sitting here obsessing about whether I'll have a/c or not, and how trashed my apartment will be and if the cats will be traumatized and ... 70 more minutes. And I have no idea what I'm doing for dinner.

What are people doing this weekend?
Um, not watching TV except what's saved on my TiVo (or what I have from Netflix), since we have no satellite right now. Definitely cleaning the bathroom. Maybe some writing and shoe-shopping.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am agog.

Gotta avoid pretense for sibling rivalry early! Hee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Noodle alert! Alert noodles!
I am guessing this doesn't have anything to do with Scrooge McDuck filling an Olympic-sized pool with money and then doing the backstroke in it.
Point to shrift for the classic comics reference. For extra credit name the movie where we get the line, "There's something very sexy about Scrooge McDuck."
Go brenda with the Lost in the Grooves pimpage!
I've completed half my day's tasks. Emmett was delivered to school. Commuting back was insanely quick because they already fixed the frickin' freeway!
Went to temp assignment where I'm working next week to get two hours of training on the front desk phone console.
Now I just need to sell a stack of LPs and DVDs for cash money to stretch financially over the weekend and take Emmett to a short pre-tournament practice.
ION, my cereal miscegenation with fresh blackberries was yummy.

And Warren Ellis proves himself a man of good taste, despite the scarrifying links he posts to his blog.
You won't hear me complaining about the backed up bank drive-thru and the inattentive teller who opted to chat with other employees rather than serve the next person in line, because they conspired to send me to the window of a new teller: one of the most jaw-droppingly should-be-modelling-for-LaCoste-or-Dolce-&-Gabbana handsome men I have ever seen in my life. Dude looked like a shorter version of Jared Leto from when Jared Leto still looked like this.
