I would very much like to name a band - Coach Taylor's Hair - that is all.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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 not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, this Gabrielle Anwar is so much prettier than this Gabrielle Anwar. And that's a really flattering picture of what she looks like these days.
Interesting seeing her in an opposite Lucy Lawless. Lucy's huge and I mean that in TV terms too. You can see the shape of her abdomen through one of her tops, and it's there. Her abdomen, I mean. Gabrielle doesn't have flesh in all those places.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Erika--didn't you get several pieces published this year? I think that totally counts. I meant to finish my play this year, yet still stalled in Act One.

Always Anti-fascist!
There were a couple this year, at that. No disrespect to Corwood and his bunkies at the Hat. I just feel like wallpaper right now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It's exactly the same as the people medicine, except for the dosing, apparently, but anyway, he only tasted a little, and said it was NAST.
I wouldn't worry much about nasty-tasting meds when the patient at issue will eat garbage and poop and would happily lap up antifreeze if allowed to.
The spam filter from my office's previous ISP would sometimes flag messages as spam from the two people in the company who can pink slip me, while recognizing e-mails from all my other co-workers (and various penile enlargement services). I've joked about the fax machine hating me, but at least it never actively tried to arrange a new user for itself.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
As for my Matilda Year, I had too many things happen, like getting laid off, having a leisurely summer off wherein I traveled to interesting places like Wisconsin, Atlanta and Maine, then ended it in a big way by becoming a college student. And yesterday I bought a whizbang of a computer.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Didn't do anything terribly exciting in my Matilda Year; but that's not a bad. Just living is all. Got my mental health stuff kind of under control. Went to Scotland twice.
(I'm a skipper- is Matilda's birthday on the 14th or do we share a birthday today?)

Oh! Hippo Birdies, Nora!
I guess Matilda Years and Nora Years start and end nearly the same!

OK, I went back, I see where the Matilda markers are (the 26th). Now I feel guilty for pimping my birthday!
Oh! Also in my Nora/Matilda Year, I have: joined the Y, taken belly dancing classes, started swimming again, started fencing classes (that last one is just under the wire, because I just started that), lost 30 pounds, and got 20% closer to finishing my graduate degree. I also did a shitload of research that almost killed me, but I eventually conquered.
Those are the specifics of Just Livin', I suppose.
