Are tiger trainers always that hot?
Siegfried and Roy are tiger trainers. Are they hot?
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think at one time they were kinda attractive. Long time ago.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I think we need a spa weekend. We can write it off.
yes, please.
I'm surrounded by poopie-heads at work. It's sad to think they are teaching the next generation.
Why don’t I travel everywhere by gothed-out hot air balloon? Why am I not accompanied by a perpetual Danny Elfman-penned soundtrack? Why am I not greeted everywhere I go by women in fanciful costumes twirling fiery…thingies…to say nothing of being greeted with open arms by Winona Ryder?
I ask myself these questions ALL THE TIME. Well, not the one about Winona Ryder.
In this, Jilli is me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
They've found that in the water people and tigers are on a more equal footing

This is a wonderful tribute to Obama's grandparents, and includes a photo of them as young people which shows how much Obama looks like his grandfather (and helped me see his resemblance to his mother, as well).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a klezmer band playing on the street, right outside my building.
Fun!

Of course not.
I just had the worst black humor conversation with my mother. We were dying laughing, and it was SO WRONG. But so right.

What a great piece, Kathy.
Speaking of dark humor, I'm loving the Daily Show bit on the Real America, sitting as I do Well Outside Real America.

Jessica have you seen this?
Cool blog about a woman who cooked her way through the French Laundry cookbook?
Wow, the Veloute of Bittersweet Chocolate with Cinnamon Stick Ice Cream looks insanely good.

On Friday, for the first time in ages, the UPS deliverybeing checked the "signature required" box where you can sign on the back to have a package left. They NEVER use that box anymore! So on Monday I signed to have it left. Monday night, there was a second notice next to the one I'd signed, and this time the "signature required" box was checked and circled for emphasis, like, "No, dumbass! I said I need a signature!"
So this morning I left my signed notice up again, and this time I underlined the part of the instructions where it says "the driver must receive a signature either in person or by signing below." Because maybe the driver didn't know about that part, or maybe he meant to check a different box.
Came home, found a final notice with the same "signature required" checked and circled several times.
I AM FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS, ASS!
I just sent UPS a long email about how I'm going to start contacting the online companies I order stuff from and tell them that they need to offer FedEx and/or USPS as delivery options if they want my business. Because I do a lot of my shopping online, and I have fucking had it with UPS.
HATE.
