I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm going to give walking home a shot.

Do you have you cell phone? Can you call a cab? Maybe from a bar?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett had his first wrestling match in a meet today. He won!

He was down on points 10-2 and then pinned the other guy.

The other guy lunged for his legs and Emmett performed a "double underhook" (whatever that is) and won.

Also he went to the dentist and had no cavities.

In sum: Hooray for Emmett!

eta: Double underhook is actually kind of cool

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

Home!

It's about a half hour walk. Good to know. Now I must see if I can catch up on everything I missed by being in hospitals for way too long yesterday.

Came out to my boss as a migraineuse today. I was going to around now anyway, but I woke up at 9:41 today, thereby TOTALLY missing my 8am meeting. And even at 10 I wasn't good to drive.

I want to go home. I hate being the last one in the office.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think I am as full as possible. And yet, I want to go to sleep immediately. I know that is a bad idea. I'm not even full of good regional food; I'm full of America. I always forget how enormous America is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So...Barbie decapitation, huh? I'm guessing that means the Barbie heads can go back on, right? I must share my childhood tale of woe.

I had a nice brunette Barbie (I'm sure it wasn't Barbie, but Margaret or something) that I liked very much. I also had a blonde Barbie that I didn't like as well, partially because I thought she had an entitled look on her face. Also, her silver dress was not as aesthetically pleasing. Anyway, one day, I was playing (rather roughly, as I did) with her, and I accidentally broke her head off.

This was deeply traumatizing and I hid the body under my bed. And then (and this will tell you the sort of child I was) I prayed long repentant prayers asking God to please restore the mutilated body of my Barbie. For weeks.

He did not, so eventually, I confessed my crime to my mother who, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure laughed heartily, and that was that.

But see, I didn't know the heads went back on. So now I'm thinking God was going, "What're you asking me for? Stick the thing back on yourself!"

eta: Which I think probably he says a lot.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jesse, was the BBQ good?

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

Liese, at best God was having a laugh at your expense.

My current quick pasta sauce is now cream, freshly ground pepper, and freshly diced tomatoes.

I wish I had any conviction I was going to get an appetite tonight.

I should just eat anyway.

Oh man, Liese. I feel sad in a slightly laughing sort of way for your young self.

Jesse, was the BBQ good?

I didn't even have it! The locals brought us to... Grand Luxe, which is apparently a Cheesecake Factory spinoff. America.

Liese mad god snicker.

You know, downloading that free Supernatural ep of iTunes is fast. I mean, compared to other means I might have ever used to acquired TV.

I should put it on the video iPod and then watch it as I walk to work tomorrow. It'll be the 21st century version of me reading books on my walk to and from school.
