I'm still at my friend's, helping as best I can.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And you haven't killed her yet, Theo? Go you!
I wish Allyson a good move with a minimum of trauma.

Hope the move's going well.
In news of me: I'm a giant sap of epic and pathetic proportions. I just randomly flipped to USA, and the last five minutes of a movie about sled, possibly rescue?, dogs is on. I can tell that the humans who've come looking for them are expecting them to be dead, and so it seems at first... but then, no! They're alive. And I tear up a little. Aw, but there's one missing. Just as they're about to leave, one dog takes off for the tundra... only to stop at the body of the missing dog. Her owner finds them. "Good boy, Sam. You brought her home." Sadness. More tears from me. But wait! She's not really dead! Just super cold and sluggish! Yays!! Didn't even watch the movie, and I'm all teary. @@ at self to infinity.

Was that Eight Below, Jen? I keep meaning to catch that on cable, but then it always turns out to be that Cuba Gooding Jr. movie instead.

Ha!
You know, I didn't catch the title. Sounds plausible, though.

I haven't killed the friend yet, but that's partly because I sent her for a nap as she was nearly staggering with tiredness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Eight Below made me cry. I didn't want it to, but it did.
(And then I found out that in reality, all but 2 of the dogs died, and it made me even sadder.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It might be possible that the world needed an open-toed boot, but I'm pretty sure this ain't it. How hideous.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
sorry open-toed should never describe a boot. If it is cool enough to wear boots, I want my toes covered. (hideous is only the start of the adjectives for that monstrosity)
