Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yeah, if I left a rawhide lying around when I went to work it would frequently be in the same spot when I got home - and devoured five seconds later.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

whew! I thought it was a sign to be worried about.

She started using the steps we bought her, finally to get up and down on the couches. She's super-happy to walk up stairs, but jumping down seems to be a sore spot, which I hear can be a problem with hotdoggies.

We're becoming obsessive dog owners, and it's only been 72 hours.

Time-delayed reaction to the inaugural concert: John Legend, you little hottie. Jon Bon Jovi, I would, indeed, like to make a memory with you (OK, fine, that's not what he sang, but it's what I think every time I hear that song or see Jon Bon Jovi).

ETA: Josh Groban, I just want to pinch your cheeks (the ones on your face). You are adorable.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Had game night at megan walker's house with Scola and Perkins (and JZ and Matilda).

During Taboo we were once again able to use the Buffista-only clue: "Actress that Theo hates!" to immediate success.

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

I just got approached for one of my old jobs--the one far away. Except as a contractor. I don't know how to work as a contractor. I get the putting away for taxes thing, but health insurance? How screwed would I be?

Ah, well. They have to want me first. I'm not in love with the idea, but I need work.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Details! What did you play?

Apparently, Taboo!

That is a great clue!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Details! What did you play?

We only played two games, one of which was Tabboo. Which was very fun. It was JZ and megan vs. me and Scola. Scola and I took an early lead, but squandered it as I used the forbidden "Julia Roberts" clue to describe Richard Gere.

And the other game was...I don't remember the name. Wit and Wager? Something like that. A question was asked that had a numerical answer. You had a thirty second timer to write down the number and place it on the board. Then everybody would bet on which answer was right. The answers were arrayed high to low with odds based on that. So you could get a higher payout if you bet on your own answer and it was an outlier.

Scola crushed us with his mathical brain. Though I did have better answers for the sports record questions.

Aw, but I wouldn't know the answer! What actor does Theo hate?
