As long as you didn't insist I participate.

Of course not. I have plenty of baby lesbians around to kidnap in case of a bandsquee emergency.

Man, I am so bummed about us not being able to go to Comicon this year. I'm missing everyone! Allyson, Neil Gaiman, Gerard Way ...

Apart from the whole GWay thang, yes, I wish we could be at SDCC. I even had someone ask today if I was signing there.

Why have no Buffistas purchased a private jet for us all to borrow? Whhhhhy?

Jilli, if we're ever going to go to SDCC, we will probably have to start planning in January.

Wait, why do you need to borrow baby lesbians to squee about a boy band? I'm confused. Save me some baby lesbians!!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Okay, I have a dilemma. Lori's coming over to have Noah time

These are the options:

1. I could take a nap.
2. I should go visit Grace since I didn't yesterday.
3. I need to go back to Target since I forgot storage bags for breast milk.
4. I'd like to go to yoga.

Sigh. What to do?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm happy--I was on call for the bookstore tonight, which I assumed meant that I had to be available for them to call me in if needed, but I found out this afternoon meant that I have to call them to find out if I'm needed. But, I just called and I'm not needed, so I get to go home at 6:00 and finally get around to doing all my dishes that have been piling up and watch TV. Yay!

I'm liking the job so far, but I will say that my 41-y.o. body is not too big a fan of retail work yet. My 36-y.o. body was the last one to experience retail, and it wasn't too thrilled but dealt with it. It took about an hour and a half for my feet to stop spasming last night. I'm taking my first paycheck this weekend and seeing if I can find some good-quality shoes that have the comfort level of gym shoes but don't look like them to wear instead of the cheap-o Payless loafers I'm currently wearing because they're the only closed-toe shoes I have that aren't gym shoes. (Imelda Marcos, I am not.)

Kat, can you combine Target and yoga, and then visit Grace tomorrow?

Then again, getting some sleep might be in order now that you have a little person at home with you (yay, Noah!!).

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

Let me know if you're visiting Gracie, I'm feeling icky and will stay home if I know she'll have company tonight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

1. I could take a nap.

ALWAYS pick nap. (Says the big fat hypocrite who is using D's evening naptime to catch up on the internets...but seriously, nap.)

ION, stories like this make me sad that Colbert is on vacation.

British forces have denied rumours that they released a plague of ferocious badgers into the Iraqi city of Basra.

Word spread among the populace that UK troops had introduced strange man-eating, bear-like beasts into the area to sow panic.

But several of the creatures, caught and killed by local farmers, have been identified by experts as honey badgers.

The rumours spread because the animals had appeared near the British base at Basra airport.

UK military spokesman Major Mike Shearer said: "We can categorically state that we have not released man-eating badgers into the area."
