I think that, at 10, I had just abandoned my plan to become an astronaut, because someone told me you can't be an astronaut if you need glasses. My new plan was to become a marine biologist.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
To bed, at last, before I yawn my face off. Tomorrow will be a better day. G'night, all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Bush pledges quick rebuild of Minneapolis bridge
The cynical side of me notes that the Republican National Convention is in Minneapolis next summer.

Our wings are not tired
Quick compared to what? The hurricane Katrina rebuild?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I think 10 was still racetrack veterinarian. It was after I accepted that I was likely to be too tall to be a jockey, but while I was still obsessed with horses.

Ow. Stupid shoulder hurts. Can't get to sleep. Every way I try to lie down ends up pulling my arm or pushing my shoulder in some wrong direction.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think at 10 I wanted to be a horse trainer. Because I was too tall to be a jockey.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
vw, I'd say go for the DVDs if you want. The buzz I've heard from other parents is that nobody really buys the hype about their educational value -- their true worth is in their magical ability to keep babies and toddlers interested long enough for Mom to take a shower.

move out and draw fire
What Jessica said. The DVDs are gold because you can get 30 minutes of peace and not be worried the kid's going to freak out about something on the screen.
Yay for nothing, Beverly!
Yay for Glen coming home, Anne.
Anybody wear a size 8 shoe? I have some awesome J Peterment French 1940s shoes that I bought like 10 years ago, and have only worn a handful of times because my feet refuse to shrink to size 8, no matter how gorgeous the shoes are.

(Also, this may be the first time any of you have ever seen my natural hair color, since my stylist cut off most of the existing blue and I haven't had time to redye it yet. A rare opportunity!)
