Well, I just had to try to make "Sometimes it's ok to submit a pile of crap!" into a pep talk, so I'm OK with calling it weird.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I feel a bit Through The Looking Glass.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This waking-up-at-random-times thing can stop right now. At least I went back to sleep, unlike this weekend. feh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I liked this bit from the Apatow interview:
He finally met like-minded kids who could stay up all night talking about Monty Python. “I felt like the bumblebee girl in the Blind Melon video who finally meets other bumblebees,” Apatow told me. “I cried every time I saw that.”
Crying over the little bee girl. But a lot of Buffistas have said similar things about finding this community. I love that he's still so close with his F&G cast.
Makes me want to go back and watch my Undeclared box set, I'll tell you what!

The dang cat just ate a (teeny) piece of asparagus. I figured my veggies were safe from lardbutt! And I was feeling sorry for him and let him sit at the table. He had a small healing scratch in front of his ear. Apparently, it itched. So he tore a hugeass wound in the process of scratching it. If the neosporin doesn't help, he's gonna need a cone. I swear.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I went to the local zoo today, and saw a Bactrian camel being groomed. (I immediately thought of Aimee!) She was ridiculously calm and happy to have her heavy winter coat combed off -- it was an insanely-high pile of hair left over. The volunteer let me carry off a double handful, which I'm going to have to figure out how to wash, comb and spin!

Ooh! That makes me think of Holli.
Man, I was thinking of training today, but only if the normal instructor won't be there because I don't want to be lame-assed in front of him, and I am lame-assed.
I also want to sleep a humongous amount.
And I want another corset. Please?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Now I want to go to the zoo! I almost quite my job and became my cow-orker's nanny when I found out that the nanny got to do things like go to the zoo and the petting zoo! (and she only works 4 day/week, 6 h/day, makes $1,000 per month tax free and gets gas money)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My landlord's relatives are sweeping the sidewalk and talking to my cats in Serbian(?). The cats keep looking at me like I should be translating.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And lo, no training.
Which is good, because I should sleep and I have to prepare a lesson plan for a class tomorrow. I take great umbrage because I improvise and I like it that way, but the lead instructor doesn't believe that I can meet time constraints. Also, there's another instructor who's preparing a lesson plan for the same techniques, so pride propels me to bring out the big guns.
But my strength is in executing lesson plans I just made up. I figure halfway through the warmup is a good place to start. And then there's delivery--that's my other thing.
Oh, this is going to suck.
