Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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

Fuck. It's light outside. I forgot to go to sleep. That book was really long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What book?

The Sweet Far Thing by Libba Bray. I wanted to make sure I was done in time to return it in time. So I read it and read it and then my head was still kinda hurty so I cleaned up the TiVo a bit and this is gonna sting come tomorrow.

eta: There's a bit on page 492 or so where the protagonist mentions books longer than 502 pages where I had to snicker.

ita, I hate to break it to you: it already is morning.

I did the stay up too late to read thing the previous night. But I felt it all day yesterday (aided and abetted by vicodin taken at 1 AM for my neck).

Sox, does your little one also have allergies?

It's morning already--it's just not Monday morning. That's when I expect the sting to kick in.

AH! undoubtedly. I want to make a pie today, but it's too hot. or maybe Apricot bars but with almond flour instead?

I say you give it a shot.

I started recording Green Hornet because why waste Bruce Lee, but have come to appreciate how damned creepy they can make half an hour of cheesy action.

Okay, I have to go to sleep, but I don't want to. There was this dream Friday night that went all sorts of places I don't need to go, especially with family around. And it feels just around the corner.

Yeah, good luck w/that.

It gorgeous out again here! I hope the threatened showers don't come when I'm out in the park later.

Let me take that back--Green Hornet isn't cheesy, not in a world with the Batman TV series. They took themselves way more seriously. Moreso than Superman too, perhaps.

Art Crawl!!!

Vortex, I hope you had the happiest of Birthdays! (I can't believe I wasn't online at all yesterday.)

Wasn't that an EXCELLENT Preakness?? I'm all excited for the Belmont now - I want either a Triple Crown Winner or for Better than Honour to have produced three consecutive Belmont Stakes winners.

That's not asking too much, is it?
