Aliens of Pi Mensae, you'll have to wait a while longer before those episodes of Gilligan's Island reach you!
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I want to go visit somewhere that doesn't have any weather.

Astonishingly, given its reputation, most of the time I was in Seattle was like this. Back home? NSfuckingM!

Oh my stars. Bartleby and I just got caught in an apocalyptic downpour...on a day when no rain was predicted. LIARS.
The poor boo does not appreciate water from the sky, even when it is warm. He kept squinting at me disconsolately as we trudged the half mile or so home from the park. Upon entering, he crammed himself into the corner of the foyer where I keep my old towel stash...climbed up ON the pile and looked at me with an expression that could only mean..."You there, with the opposable thumbs...USE THESE...ON ME...now, please."

Hey, DCistas. If you have not been to the Folklife Festival this year, I highly recommend it. I spent a good deal of time in the Wales area today and enjoyed every minute of it.
Got there just in time to catch Only Men Aloud, winners of last year's, Last Choir Standing on the Beeb. They were awesome. One medley exhibited their Welsh pride with 'exports' Dame Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones. The theme from Goldfinger, Delilah, It's Not Unusual, and the Green, Green Grass of home.
On my way back up the Hill, I realized my face hurt from having smiled non-stop for hours. I needed that!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My laptop is decorated with crawling ant stickers (I bought a package to decorate the inside of the kitchen cabinets at my old apartment and had some left over). I find it amusing that there is now a real ant crawling on my laptop.
Poor Ply got caught out in the rain last night and must have holed up somewhere, because she was nowhere to be found this morning. Now she's buried herself under the pile of laundry I still haven't put away.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
-t, I think your DH just about has it. She's certainly never proven herself on any major stage, but she keeps winning minor ones, and the Williams sisters especially don't play those. I thought that match was laughable, and given that Serena has been vocal before about Dinara not deserving the spot, I know there's at least eyerolling going on at the Williams residence tonight.

Oh yeah. Well, at least, Venus will be well rested for her match against her sister !

If I were Serena I'd make her work extra hard in the doubles match to compensate!
I've been paying more attention this championship to who's sponsored by whom, and I'm surprised at the number of logo only companies. I get it if you're Nike, but some of the others are opaque (Fred Perry) or have logos that were familiar but I just couldn't place--and it's not like I can just google "red distorted infinity sign" and come up with an athletic-wear vendor. And then you come up with a company like Yonex which kits out Dementieva or Hewitt from head to toe, including racket, and I swear I'd never heard of them before.
I guess that's why you advertise.
