Thank you so much for the updates. Both of you and your families are in all the Buffistas' thoughts right now. I'm wishing any possible peace and safety to everyone in your country right now, and any possible sanity to the leaders on all sides on whom your safety depends, and wishing any of us had the power to do more than just wish for you.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Swouncing
Rear Command...?
This makes me think of the teachers who threaten to have eyes in the back of their heads.
Oh, and Barb and Cashmere and JZ and everybody - thank you, so very much. The sympathy and well-wishes are, to me, the most important (and far from obvious) thing to do for us, now. Thank you.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Yes, very much what Nilly wrote. It's hardly far from obvious.
And, another update: I keep hearing helicopters above my place, and Lebanon claiming that IAF entered its aerial territory.
Do. Not. Open. Another. Front. Please.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Update: Palestinians broke into the border with Egypt.
Edit: IAF also bombed 40 tunnels in the Strip.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Today's breakfast was bacon, eggs, biscuits and gravy (made with the bacon drippings and heavy cream, FTW!).
I apologize if this post clogs any arteries.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I had Cream of Wheat, more to pacify Mom than feed my hunger. Perhaps I will get a donut at the DD down near the thrift store.
This is definitely First World problems compared to worrying about air strikes and Molotov cocktails. I wish I could do more than offer my sincere concern -- my thoughts are with you guys and your families, and pretty much anyone in the way.

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

OK, this is awesome: Live-Action Thundercats Movie
WormyTV spent a year and a half creating this fan made movie trailer for a live-action Thundercats movie using clips from various movies. Starring Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman and Vin Diesel. The San Francisco-based graphic artist added all the effects frame by frame in Photoshop. The footage was edited in Adobe Premiere. Pretty incredible and also really funny.
It's fun just to try and identify all the movies and tv shows that they borrowed footage from to make the trailer.
eta: Is Vin Diesel supposed to be a hairless cat?

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
[Another Edit: sorry, y'all, for the depressing life-stuff. I don't wanna spoil anybody's holiday season, if I can help it.]
Thanks to Shir and Nilly again for the updates. I think of it more like when you are posting, you are okay, so it is alleviating some worry.
Twilight Edward Body Shimmer
That will get all over the Twilight bed sheets.

Oh come on, how could you tell? I'm sure those sparkle as well.
