For yuletide, I have a "canon let me down" fandom, two "past yuletides have whetted my appetite for this" fandoms, and a "pretend I'm not asking for this because the actor posts on this board" fandom.
Mal: Gotta say, doctor, your talent for alienatin' folk is near miraculous. Simon: Yes, I'm very proud.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, it would be a benefit for me, because my key was copied, and poorly, so you have to stick the key in, then pull it out a little, to start the car by turning it. Actually, in practice, you do those two steps about fourteen times, with added jiggling, and increasing profanity. The SO refuses to ever use my key.

Our car (Nissan Versa) has a crazy thing where you just need the... fob, I guess, it has the computer chip in it... on your person and you can unlock the door just by pressing a button on the door handle, if the fob thing is in your pocket. The ignition turns like a regular ignition, but there's nothing you need to insert.
It's cool not to have to fumble for your keys though. All about the proximity!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got an explanation on the name from my SIL:
Gavin picked her name from about five different choices we gave him. He calls her Neavie. I think he likes it because it sound like Stevie, he knows we call your dad Grampy Stevie sometimes.

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

That sounds interesting.

I'm beginning to suspect that I'm never going to get DCI Tanner/DI Boyd slash.

The status is NOT quo.
I love not having a regular key. I just leave it in my purse all of the time, so I don't have to dig it out when I'm wandering through a parking lot.
I really enjoyed Pushing Daisies, but I may need to watch it again since I was Ambiened at the time. (This statement makes me think Eddie Izzard.)

Daisy and Cashmere, it turns out that my boss will be staying at both the Mansion and the Austin Motel. She loved the look of the Mansion but they didn't have a room her last night there so she is going to try the Austin Motel for that night.
Thanks for the recs!
