You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

To add to the weirdness, I have the scissors she confiscated from the c-section with my brother.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks for the facebook thoughts. I feel weird about it because I am Sophia Brooks on the internet, but I need to use my real name for this facebook group, and then I somehow have mixed identities.

Scrappy, I also think a cocktail would help.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A cocktail would very likely help, but it will have to be later, as I am leaving at 500am to make an 8am plane and I still have to pack and must do that before I collapse. I must say venting a bit has cooled me down, so thanks y'all.

sara, WTF?! c-section scissors in your coat? (BTW, wanna come visit at the end of the month?)

I spent $70 at Ikea and got 4 lightbulbs, and 2 lamps. The lightbulbs cost as much as the lamp!

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

Oh, dear. Tonight's Mission: Impossible is one of the difficult ones. I thought I'd gotten the hand of watching them. Mostly I'm distracted by the idea of that many white people doing so much manual labour in the Caribbean in the 70s.

how do you get the hang of watching Mission:Impossible? Does it require a huge suspension of disbelief?

Did you know that Woody Allen guest starred on MASH?

You have to get used to doing a lot of front-loading. They don't explain how they're doing stuff as they're doing it, so if you miss the first few minutes of why and even what, well...it takes practice.

This one has too many people that look alike.

But, hey, Nimoy.

Picked up a copy of LA Weekly while waiting for lunch today, and read a really great bit by Sherman Alexie about having his persona appropriated by someone who's just so much more him than he is. I wonder if he wrote it just now, or it's an older piece.

Did you know that Woody Allen guest starred on MASH?

Not a MASH person. And certainly not a Woody Allen person.

I want to get my dad a Cyclone rake. What do leaf blowers do, precisely? Or maybe I mean: what do leaf blowers do precisely? I mean, do they just shove the leaves anywhere else?

They're pretty good for alienating neighbors and freaking out dogs, too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Leaf blowers are pretty decent for getting the leaves from vaguely over here to vaguely over there. So for places like my parents' town, where you blow the leaves into a big pile in the street next to the curb and a guy in a special truck comes around to collect them, they're pretty good. Getting them into something more specific, like into a container, requires a bit more skill, but it can be done.
