Hey, does anyone here have kids who like Angelina Ballerina? I have no idea if it's even current, but I have this random DVD I got from work that I would send anyone who's interested.
Man, just ascend already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just tripped over the cat and bashed my arm but good and smashed a glass.
Am I done? Please?

Maybe take tomorrow off and just sit very still.

I think some of my favorites are:
Dr. Zombie and His Little Furry Friends - Robert Sheckley
Lonelyache - Harlan Ellison
(Pretty much anything by Sheckley or Ellison, really.)
Instructions - Bob Leman
Fondly Fahrenheit - Alfred Bester
Nackles - Donald Westlake
The Great Switcheroo - Roald Dahl
Okay, line breaks would help.

Ooh, I love that Buffistas can come up with all these short stories they love. Several of the ones mentioned are faves of mine, but many make me want to get out some short story collections I have--Connie Willis has a book with several great ones, and I seem to recall loving a set of Spider Robinson ones too (he can be annoying and cheesy in his longer stuff, often, but I did like the shorts a lot)

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'd been looking for the out-of-print collection of CL Moore's stories
Hec gave me one at the first F2F. t /random Buffista memory
t edit I don't know that it was out-of-print; but it's a collection of CL Moore's Northwest Smith stories.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Connie Willis has a book with several great ones, and I seem to recall loving a set of Spider Robinson ones too (he can be annoying and cheesy in his longer stuff, often, but I did like the shorts a lot)
Oh, yes, I have to agree with both of those.

Tomorrow is wintery mix.
I'm torn between taking the car back in and walking in that shit, in case it is something time-consuming and I have to rent a car for the weekend (I have a salon apt I WILL NOT FUCKING MISS) and waiting until Friday or explosion.
I live on a subway line. That goes nowhere near work. Fucking Baltimore public transit.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. I guess I don't tend to read short stories. Plays seem to occupy that space for me.
