Timelies all!
Back from Philcon. Had fun, saw some folks I haven't seen in a while.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We watched a children's tv retelling of sleepy hollow and mac is now sleeping in my bed.
I ordered some clothes online tonight. I am not optomistic about the pants fitting, but we'll see.

Anyone else watching the AMAs? Didn't Kate Hudson used to have boobs? And if she's going to wear that top, shouldn't she get some double-sided tape?

I need to figure out shoes.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Just had an odd experience of texting with my brother to get him through his upset over losing his pet snake. I know he's drunk. I know he's belligerent when he's drunk. I know he's sensitive about his snake (Spike) being viewed as a useless pet in others eyes (including mine). I can only imagine what my father has been insensitively saying to him ("good riddance!") I know that telling him to chill and breathe will backfire. I know that telling him what to do and feel will backfire. I know that sounding like I wanted his emotions to fit my timetable would backfire.
Man, the past hour and half have been a minefield of picking out the right words that will at least get him to allow himself to stop beating himself up and feeling sick and get some sleep. But I have to say, it was worth it to read the final text of "I love you, sis!".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, you're a good sis. May Spike rest in peace.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My Joseph Gordon-Levitt love has panned out in a way that my Frankie Muniz feelings never did. You can't win them all.
Sara, have you seen Hotel Rwanda before?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
RIP snakey Spike.

J-Lo, what are you wearing? That is not flattering.
Then they took off the little robe? And it got worse.
Aaaaand now we've added a gold corsetybubbleshirt thing (via our dancers) and we're still. not. good.

No! Spike is still alive! Living wild in the half-dug basement!
That was a big part of the careful word-choosing. In my attempt to make him feel better, he replied with "Great, X amount of money is now lost in the basement." I must have gone through five drafts of how to make it not a money issue and give import to Spike's status as a valued pet, and that Spike's livelihood, even if apart from him, in the half-dug basement, was more important than the cost of the pet.
Hotel Rwanda was good, but heavy and hurty.
