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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm with Zaphod's mom. Never, ever, ever turn down a chance at a nap, unless your need for a shower is even more dire.

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

Badger badger badger.

I'd visit Grace and/or nap.

I personally am going to nap, but I'm back to feeling like someone's wedged a pickaxe in my shoulder. Confirmation of hospitalisation can't come soon enough.

Actually, it was at Weebl's site where I first saw that news story.

P.S. ita, the Martha Washington one-shot is out, but be prepared for... well, not a lot really.

You think he managed to keep a straight face?

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

Because they also kidnap me to go to concerts and squee about boys in bands? And also girls in the bands, because the tiny boys haven't completely stolen their gay?

You've probably left the office, but.... link?

Oh god. Um. Well, okay, since Pete's already mocked me for my love of GWay's tightpants, I might as well link to the picspam: [link]

What is even happening?

I'd beg lori to keep Noah awake while she had him, go visit Grace, and hope to nap with Noah when I got back.

paperdol, Lori is going to see Grace after shift change, so if you can't go, no worries. I am exhaust-a-malated.
