You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha!

How's it taste?

I don't know. I didn't order one. I don't like wheat beer, and I don't like stout.

Well, that's very practical for you, but it doesn't do much for my curiosity. My mind's tastebuds are failing me - I like wheats and stouts but them together and I can't really imagine the flavor.

But at least I now know that it exists, which makes the world a bit more interesting.

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

I just got back from Trek. Am in a really good mood for the first time in a while....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've done my own brows for years but was surprised at the difference a professional brow shaping made to my face. I've had it done a few times even though my brow lady is a nosy kook -- she's the brow whisperer.

Woman kills elephant with bow & arrow

This proud individual, Teressa Groenwald-Hagerman, is the first woman to kill an elephant with a bow and arrow. She reportedly spent eight months working out to handle a bow big enough to take down an elephant in Zimbabwe.

...

On the hunting website 'Hunts of a Lifetime' Hagerman wrote: "A man by the name of Larry, who is a videographer for Orion Multi Media, bet me I couldn't shoot a buffalo or elephant with a bow.

"He indicated only one or two women had completed the buffalo with a bow and no woman had ever taken an elephant with a bow. Of course, I couldn't turn down the challenge."

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

Did the elephant at least get eaten?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I bet she can't take down a humvee with a bow.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I'm going to watch the Dollhouse finale over a breakfast of real Irish wheaten bread that my colleague brought over (it was for a party - she gave me the leftovers after I went on how about much I miss Irish food). Heaven...

With any luck, this will inspire me to get to the actual end of the paper I've been working on for ten interminable days. Determination! Yes! OK then.
