I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Punishingly Intricate

lisah, I've seen pictures of your ass. It's just fine.

Too big for a carseat though!

I want to buy one of these [link] both for the gym and for work. But I wonder if I would be able to do yoga in it?

hmm...they are cute and I bet would be fine in terms of range of motion. I feel like the skirt part flapping up would bug me in yoga.

Right. That's my issue. Headstands should not be encumbered by a flappy skirt.

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

I would love to do krav in one of those skirts, but we have to train in krav-logoed clothing.

I could do kettlebell...I mean, if I could do kettlebell.

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

I was just attacked by a dog. It was a rather tiny dog, about the size of a small cat. I think it was trying to bite me but I'm not sure - if it was, it never managed to penetrate my jeans. Anyway, it just kept walking behind me, yapping and nipping at my ankles... so damn cute.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

In the course of editing, I ran across this author name (last name): Blobstein.

Which, naturally, led us into a whole Bob Loblaw/Arrested Development riff.

While passing out front-porch light bulbs in the more crime-ridden areas of my 'hood, we happened upon one house with a big BEWARE OF DOG sign. These were common, and usually accompanied by a Pit Bull or Rottie.

As we walked towards the house, the owner was outside, and waved for us to come up the driveway. I did so with some trepidation, and then the dog came charging down the driveway, barking furiously at us.

A Pomeranian named "Speedy."

Cutest thing EVAR. "I'm fierce! I am! Damn it! Cower before me!" As soon as I leaned down to give it my hand to sniff, it stopped barking, dropped to the ground, and rolled onto its back in the patented rub-my-belly move.

Fierce. Uh huh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I thought of him, but I thought it was a stretch to label what he does comedy. Absurd? Yes. Funny? Occasionally but more often bleak as hell.

Yeah, having gone to a grueling performance of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf last fall Albee wouldn't be the first name I'd think of in the context of comedy.
