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!

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.

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

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.

I too presumed Apple was marketing ita's boobage.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Aurelia (and anyone else)-- I just posted a lyrics quiz in LJ. You should go play.
(not that I am bored or procrastinating or anything).
