All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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

In not-that-bright questions, you getting married in Phoenix? Daytime wedding?

I'm still wondering about my 5pm wedding in a couple weeks. I guess I get to wear a long slightly showy dress.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Phoenix, daytime wedding/evening reception. I gotta stop procrastinating on figuring out how to control the weather!

I'm still wondering about *my* 5pm wedding next week

emphasis added, because I was thinking "Dammit, ita, that's taking laconic modesty a little too far!"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Parrot Imitates Fire Alarm, Saves Family

MUNCIE, Ind. - A noisy parrot that likes to imitate sounds helped save a man and his son from a house fire by mocking a smoke alarm, the bird's owner says.

Shannon Conwell, 33, said he and his 9-year-old son fell asleep on the couch while watching a movie. They awoke about 3 a.m. Friday to find their home on fire after hearing the family's Amazon parrot, Peanut, imitating a fire alarm.

"He was really screaming his head off," Conwell said.

The smoke alarm had activated, but it was the bird's call that caught Conwell's attention.

"I grabbed my son and my bird, and got out of the house," he said

Seriously! What kind of so-called "bride" are you anyway?

I hate to break it to you, but that's not uncommon in LA. My mom often reminded me that the day she brought me home from the hospital it was the middle of a blistering heat wave, probably over 100.

Oh I know it's not uncommon in LA. Even though I'm entering my third year here, though, my paradigm is still New England. My brain gets confused about heat waves this time of year. I suppose I might get used to it eventually, but I suspect I will be having the same grumble no matter how long I'm here.

I bet all the other brides have already started their weather machines.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ION, I was out of the office all day, and only got 12 emails (including a few brief responses to one, and a few spams). I feel like I just won a prize.
