"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, Katie! I raise my glass to you.

Thanks for the slide show, tommy. I've had my eye on Agyness for a while but I'm glad to see she's inspiring a full on trend.

Juliana! You should do it. I love it when you're platinum blonde.

Yesterday I had Buffistas on the brain. As I wandered from comic book store to comic book store, I couldn't help but think how much they would make Scola smile. And Corwood and billytea came to mind as I discussed the merits of various euro games at this awesome game store I found. And then on my way to buy Matilda a super-chic new dress, I discovered that Paris now has Lush! Truly a Buffistas-in-Paris sort of day.

Awww. Matilda is so much better dressed than the rest of us.

I took the car into the shop to get the flat fixed and because I wasn't mentally prepared to say, "No, just fix the flat" I'm on the hook for a full check up, oil change, air filter. Stupid stupid stupid. I need to go into that situation with a mental script prepared but I was just feeling ragged about a 90 minute r/t commute with Matilda in the rain.

Feh on me.

Happy Birthday, Katie!!

Ooh, S2 Dexter was better than S1? Be still, my heart. Because I loved S1.

Feeling much better today, which is good, because it's back to work tomorrow. I may even venture out and get some copies made and mail some stuff out. Dream big, right?

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

Bah. A customer is talking to the owner of the coffee shop I'm in at the moment. He's a global warming denier. He keeps on saying stuff like, "How do we know what conditions in the world were hundreds or thousands of years ago?" So he's basically saying there's no evidence for it. Plus he says doing something about it would cost too much.

I should just ignore the conversation, but I can't. But I think it'd be rude to butt in. Plus I'm eating.

Well, I picked a hell of a time to color my blonde hair brown....

I was just reading an article in Vogue yesterday (granted, from a couple months ago Vogue) that brown is all the rage now. Even Agyness Deyn went brown a little while back. Though promptly came back to blonde. According to the article. I don't follow her closely or anything.

I had a similar experience! It was very distracting.

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

It's the offline version of yesterday's xkcd comic.

Yeah, the cafe owner brought both those up. Then he went on some other tangent on how there's been a series of ice ages in who knows what caused those, so who knows what causes any long-term changes now.

I have a feeling this guy listens to conservative talk radio....

Oh well. He's gone, and now I'm back at work. I have chocolate chip scones!
