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?!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I also cleaned my George Foreman grill, kitchen sink, and one countertop while waiting for my salmon to roast. Came this close to spritzing my stovetop with Fantastik before realizing I'm not sure how hot the stove elements get with the oven running at high temp.

I think I've gone from cleaning for appearances' sake to not knowing what to do with myself if I'm not scrubbing something. (Still not crazed enough to start mopping though.)

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

OMG, Brooklyn real-estate porn on This Old House.

I have groomed the dog and gone to see Milk. And now I have a beef stew cooking on the stove. That's enough for a rainy Saturday, right?

Saw Quantum of Solace at the dollar movie. I liked it. But I adore M. Let her kick some butt!

Thrive to spite them

Today I've bought a washer and dryer, got a new cat, cleaned up the house in anticipation of the cat arriving tomorrow and washer dryer Monday.

Except I have piles and piles of clothes because I haven't had a washer and dryer for a week and also my old ones were such crap I just washed what I absolutely needed.

I see a clothes washing binge on Monday evening.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm watching Miss America, and they are trying to give cool intros for each state, and I cannot believe Miss New Hampshire threw out "Manch-vegas," i.e. Manchester, NH. I really thought only my friends called it that!

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

Speaking of beauty pageants, my elevator told me that Miss World was fighting for life from a horrible UTI gone awry and had already had her hands and feat amputated. It was very gruesome for elevator news!

Actually, David... She died today from her infection. The elevator is a little behind.

Miss World was fighting for life

She lost.

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

She wasn't Miss World. She was a Brazilian pageant finalist.

No less awful.
