I came into the office to a bunch of freaked-out emails on various subjects, all needing me to DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW. It's Monday with a vengeance.
Zoe: She shot you. Mal: Well, yeah, she did a bit... still --
'Serenity'
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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
The part that made me go WTF about their commentary:
Dr. Thorpe: Yeah, Oscar's particular brand of zings were really effective because they made you just really, really wish he didn't exist.
Zack: Sort of like Samuel Clemens except instead of writing about children as a commentary on the times Oscar Wilde fucked children as a commentary on the times.
They went on to admit that they were making up the bit about Oscar Wilde and children, but they really don't think Wilde or Twain were funny?

Dude! Are none of you celebrating the lack of navigational skills day?
Even my Navajo kids are celebrating Mr. WherethehellamI! About which I say, bwah!

Ha. No. Although the bus was wonderfully half-full this morning, which meant that I got to work on-time even though I was running ten minutes late.
I have a turkey sandwich.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This Monday has no reason to exist, other than to get me closed to Wednesday when I fly home. Which is important, but I just don't see why I need to be awake for it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even my Navajo kids are celebrating Mr. WherethehellamI! About which I say, bwah!
That's hilarious. I told my parents last night that we don't celebrate Oppression of Indigenous People Day here, but that's way better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
paperdol, that is awesomely cute! That wee girl looks so happy to have a big brother.
I love new baby smell. It's like the new car smell.
Will someone here call my sister and tell her I'm moving? And that I'm going to have to cancel our birthday weekend? I'm such a chickenshit.

A school in my neigbourhood celebrates "Before Columbus Day" the week earlier. I like that approach.
Okay, can I nap now? I've been in, like, maybe an hour.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's deeply, deeply amusing to me.
Almost as amusing as the time that the Big Name Youth Pastor dude gave a rousing speech extolling the virtues of boldness and exploration and named several "heroes" and their great victories, including Columbus. In Phoenix. To a crowd of Native kids.
We were all, uhhhh...and one of the leaders said, aside to us, something along the lines of, "No, that was more of a loss for us." No kidding, man.
Anyway, this is a good week for me, because all three of our schools are off for one reason or another; intersession, fall break, Columbus Day. So we have a week that's genuinely available to catch up, finish paperwork, get cleaned up, work on the house, etc. So that's good.
