12 for 12. Perhaps I pay too much attention to current events.
Hanging out at Daily Kos got me 11 for 12, I was thinking the wrong direction on paying for health care.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sleepy now.

12 for 12 here, although I was reminded that I really have to bone up on my geography--for a second, I was waffling on where certain Middle East countries are in relation to each other.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
11 for 12.
I is fairly smart.

I totally guessed on the Afghanistan troop #s, and the geography one, but got them both right! 12/12!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This Watson was way too spry for having suffered an injury in the war!
Depends on the injury, though, doesn't it? If it's not something that causes him pain (or it's pain that he's willing to work through every time) or it results in a restricted range of movement that I would not be able to break down without another viewing (not the worst thing in the world, especially with a pause button).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, dear God. Someone kick my ass off this couch! The sum total of my accomplishments for the day: posted two books on eBay; gave a pointless assist to someone in the midst of a kerfuffle with a bunch of assholes whose minds we will never change; ate lots of cream cheese and lox; thought about taking a shower.
I have to get to the post office before it closes, and I really have to vacuum the living room before the cookie-crumbs-and-Christmas-tree-needles-to-carpet ratio tips too far in the wrong direction, and I seriously have to shower. I don't think I've aimlessly slugged around like this since before I met Hec.

Hec! Your wife is falling down on the job!
The guy over the cube wall from me makes the most fascinating not-work phone calls. I completely can't concentrate. And people keep stopping by and having non-work-related convos with him too. My productivity is taking a hit.
Of course, the headache doesn't help. I can't believe I'm going to run out of the good meds before the funeral, and then have a weekend where I can't go to the ER to boot. I need to work out how to attack next week. I need to work out how to attack tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Then I say it's past time, and you deserve it! Sometimes you need a day off from everything.
