Those are the cutest vegetables I've ever seen.
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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Those remind me of Jamie King's character on "The Class," who was a vegetable photographer. She made her living doing vegetable calendars. Or maybe it was fruit. Something like that.

Dude, if I'm a teacher, you guys are getting shafted. My sister (university lecturer too) got her discount with two different cashiers, as did I.
Clearly I'm not as HAWT as you are. Once some guy took pity on me when I was shopping with Kat and Kat got to use her discount, but that was just the once.
I have no idea why people who teach at universities don't count as teachers. That makes no sense to me.
Maybe we are less likely to be buying class supplies? Dunno.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Happy Autumnal Equinox! (or Vernal Equinox for those in the Southern Hemisphere.)

I'm going to cling to the illusion that it's summer for just a wee bit longer. Even though I can see trees starting to change color when I drive out to Woburn.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Emmett!
Tonight we go see Genesis at the MCI center. Other than that, quiet day here.

ah! Nilly!
Also, Alibelle, I just gave a stack of romancey type books away. Or a few. I may have more (I think I do). If you wanted to come over and meet Noah and get books, I could do that.

Happy birthday, Emmett! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
We had the party yesterday and he had a very good time. He had three friends sleep over so he woke up on his birthday with his friends and is undoubtedly chowing down on pancakes and leftover cake to celebrate.
He's eleven! He's in middle school. Remember when I started him in first grade?

Happy Birthday Emmett!
I have had a week off from work, and I feel so healthy and relaxed. I really hope this good feeling doesn't come falling down tomorrow.
I have also been experiencing a lot of little coincidences, and they're blowing my mind. Little things like dreaming about someone I haven't seen and then seeing them a day or two later. Friday night I came home and I turned on the TV to find a Stars video for their new single on. I worked on a theatre festival with Torquil about 15 years ago, and we hung out a fair bit that summer. The next morning I am walking home from the famer's market and a Stars song comes up on my iPod, and I start thinking about Torquil again. When I get home, I decide I'm just going to sack out and read. So I grab a book from my TBR pile, Vermeer in Bosnia by Lawrence Weschler. The second essay in is about a production of Henry V starring Andre Braugher that they did in Central Park in 1996, that was partially inspired by a legal scholar's interest in Shakespeare and the laws of war. It included a scene that is almost always cut out of modern versions, with Pistol capturing a French soldier. And mentioned, as playing a bit part in that scene is my friend Torquil. How weird is that? My mind is kind of blown. I would not be surprised to walk down the street and see him.
