You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Punishingly Intricate

I was up at 5 because the dog got up and I tried to see if he'd just go back to sleep but the big cat kept rubbing against him and blocking his path to his sleepin' chair and so I had to get up and take him outside. Which these days involves carrying him downstairs. Then he decided to eat all his food when he came back in and I had to wait for him to come back upstairs (if I left him down while I went back to sleep he'd pace around downstairs all confused about where I was). poor old elderly dog...but dag I'm tired.

Somehow, though, Hef came across as very sexless.

ITA. He often seems a bit doddering, and a little bemused by what his girls get up to.

Hey, there's a wikipedia entry on the girls next door: [link]

I just went for coffee break and I wanted a scone. A plain scone, or maybe one with cheddar, nothing fancy. The only scone options at the coffee place by work were blueberry and sour cherry & mango. I totally stood there looking at the tarted up scones thinking "Just eat a muffin whitey!" and cracked myself up.

Oh. Oh. I just jacked up my knee so bad I almost puked. And then I burned my hand on coffee. I think Wednesday is trying to take me out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

My most traumatic scone experience was when I was in New Zealand, and bit into a scone, and it had bits of ham in it.

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

Suicidal pig tried to jam the evil scone machine?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oooh, that sounds tasty.

But not if you're not expecting it.

We went out to lunch at a new place this weekend, which was decent, but the best part was the bread they brought to the table, which included biscuits with green onion, cheese, and bacon baked into them.

I do love a ham and cheese scone. But if you're not expecting meat in your baked goods, that would be narsty.

From eBay - awesome art....

Original Art- Linocut -Very Limited - Muppet Propaganda

It's done in early Soviet propaganda poster style:

This piece is called "Invincible" and depicts an army of Berts, ideal soldiers for the motherland, looking ahead, undaunted, unstoppable, and slightly grumpy.
