You can whine, sara, but he gets his whims catered to.
You walk in worlds the others can't begin to imagine.

Gronk.
Hey, Nilly, I got your extra sleep covered over here. I just fell asleep watching the football game. And whilst I was asleep the SO went over and said his goodbyes to the band we quit. Which I intended to do. But didn't, 'cause, asleep. Whoops.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you even have two toilets, Scola?

I'm drunk.
I fixed two toilets this weekend
Are these two things related?
I had work I needed to finish this weekend. Did that happen? No so much. I went to a restaurant for a friend's birthday and was in a trivia tournament for most of today. We did not win. It was a bit on the surreal side, since it was held at Medieval Times and there were patently fake jousts (with real horses) during the breaks.

I'm a little concerned about the order in which those two things happened, Scola.

Hmm. I can't wear adorable clothes or make people's days better just by looking at me, the way he does. I'll just have to owe him some treats, then. Hopefully to be given to him personally, some day in the future, when he's older and I'm across-the-ocean-er. And then, I'll share with him. How's that?
Liese, you had the perfect excuse - you were too busy balancing the universe.
[Edit: wait. If Tom were drunk, is it possible he fixed the same toilet twice, and just saw it double?]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I fixed my own toilet yesterday, which would make me feel all manly and useful, except that it was broken for a year, and I broke it even worse before I finally fixed it. When I was at the bar tonight, I noticed that the toilet wouldn't stop running, and I saw that the thing-a-ka-bob was detached the the hoosie-whats-it, and I fixed it too.

Huh. I got a voicemail yesterday that my cable company is changing the channels tomorrow or some shit, so I might need to reboot my box, and just now I lost Food Network, but none of the other channels I've tried. WTF.

Liese, you had the perfect excuse - you were too busy balancing the universe.
I'm going to use this excuse for everything now.
Tom, you're on a roll. Why stop now? You could have a whole new manly toilet-fixing persona!
Jesse, it's because they're out to get you.

Okay. Now I need to go grill bratwurst and all will be well with the world again.
