You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Trade 'ya for a broken water pipe.

Too exciting for me.

aside from any pain you are in, your day sounds like heaven

Believe me, I'd rather be doing something. I just laughed too hard at the Ultimate Fighter finale and woke up a headache.

Did I mention envy me? Just...no burst pipes. Glad you can get it resolved quickly, Shir.

msbelle, does the Netflix stuff work on Macs?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm renting and the landlord will get it out of our rent.

The thing is, of course, is that we're paying it now, and if the price was too high... we're a bunch of students, you know?

“Not dead yet!”

Plumber is here. He could charge less, but I'll still own my ass, and can shower, and... well, I don't think I'll have the time to cook like I wanted, but I'm in favor of small still owning ass graces.

But at least you'll have water. Baby steps, Shir. Baby steps.

Still researching. Found a Swedish site with scans of actual flight timetables.

At this point, I'm marveling at my own geekiness.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ita they say now it can work on macs and mine seems to meet all the requirements. Highspeed cable internet = broadband, yes?

I've got trash out, laundry in and am now waiting for a pedi. Pedi=knitting.

Sure should.

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

Do you have an Intel Mac, msbelle?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just spent 5 minutes looking for my glasses, because it turns out I decided to take them off in the kitchen, in preparation for taking a shower.

Which did not happen in the kitchen, by the way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got an excellent deal on a new coat! It was a hundred bucks, which I thought was fine, but it turned out to be 30% off PLUS an extra 20% off! In situations like this, it is ridiculous how much I identify with the slogan on the Filene's Basement bags: I Just Got A Bargain!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and! I sat in the park and had a Shake Shack burger. Good times.

Now tagless for your comfort.

During Bush's surprise visit to Baghdad, an Iraqi journalist chucked both his shoes at Bush's head. Bush, unfortunately, is a lot quicker than I expected him to be. He ducked and avoided the shoes.

Dana Perino, White House Press Secretary, was slightly injured by a microphone and received a black eye in the mele to remove the offending journo from the room.

There's video. Merry Christmas.
