Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Well, my dad refers to their roomba recharging as "nursing" but I think that's less emotional engagement and more amused-fucking-with-imagery.

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

Growing up we had a lady that lived in back who did our laundry. These days she lives offsite, but my parents and sister don't have to wash their own clothes.

Me, I got first world problems.

And a headache, and am on the way to ER #2 with a surly cabbie.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I fold laundry but it only gets put away when it really , really, bugs me.

clothes - generally, i vaguely think about it the night before, but I sometimes have to change my mind in the am do to an inability to locate something. If i have to be in early, or it matters due to something like big bosses, I pull stuff together the night before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And a headache, and am on the way to ER #2 with a surly cabbie.

Bah. Did you get the name of the good cabbie?

Oh no! Grevious insult to Nilly on House: "Seventeen's a stupid number."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'll take care of the laundry for someone who'll vacuum for me.

Shit, ita. I know, not really helpful, but you are in my thoughts.

I'm now a vegetarian to ward off boundary-issue neighbor. Who is T's dad. Oy.

I just ripped off a treated corn. That's kinda gross. But hopefully fixes the problem. (Short version, banged the hell out of the little toe, drew blood, think the toe is permanently wrong. Corn thing formed. Ignored. Got worse. Did OTC and it just came off. Hopefully no more grossness.)

Being an adult SUCKS.

I think I'll go back to imagining surprising my parents with a trip to Prague. No idea how I'll accomplish this, or if, but picturing my mom in Stare Mesto and then the hills overlooking it? Making me happy. I even still recall how to get from the airport to city center on public transit!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The best Henry Rollins interview evah!!!

[link]

Cale: Hey Henry, just wanted to make sure you got the questions I sent over, haven’t heard back from you yet, thanx!

Henry: Cale, I got the questions, I am not doing them. Thanks. Henry.

That's it.

Cale Says:

You know, I actually went into this one taking special care not to piss him off, the questions were well researched and relevant, except for a few like this one:

Do you think you would have been able to reach as many people as you have over the years if it wasn’t for your neck? I mean, I feel like it just gives more weight and integrity to everything you’re saying. It’s like an anaconda fucked a sequoia.

What life lessons did you learn working in the Georgetown Haagen-Dazs?

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

I don't know WTF is up with Tuesday at 9, but last week my DVR decided not to tape House, and this week it dissed Eureka. Luckily, I can catch Eureka at midnight, but STILL.

Getting off of work @ 9pm (EST) makes it hard to get Eureka, I love the 12am rerun.

Uhm... I would be in utmost fear of being somethinged-to-death by the killing machine that is Henry Rollins. I'd attempt some joke about his bad-ass-itude but all of them have been consumed by Chuck Norris.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

However carefully the questions were crafted, I'll bet the "thanx" is what did it. Or would have done for me.
