Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

In my world watermelon is not edible, so I think ALL watermelons should be made into such beautiful sculptures.

While I enjoy watermelon as a food, many of my elderly relatives agree with you. Their reason in Yinglish is:

"Der Spitten Spitten, Der eaten eaten." meaning "when I spit I spit, when I eat I eat." When I was a smart ass eleven year old, I'd always ask them whether they skipped cherries too. Cause if they did I was willing to take their share.

Swouncing

Skipping (is it for the last time on 2009, or the first time on 2010?), because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Susan W's birthday.

Happy birthday, Susan! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

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

Hi Nilly!

Birthday Happies, Susan!

And you know, I have yet to do any seeping this decade. I think I'll try that out; see if anything's changed.

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

My alarm this morning went off with "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince. I decided to let it play through and danced around the room to it. Seemed like a decent way to start off the new year.

Trust my rage

Happy new year! These days I have to do my greetings in the morning since I never make it to midnight.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy New Year, 'ffistas!

Guy was talking all about politics, realty, economics, etc. with an air that he knew much more than he really did. One sentence that stood out: "I asked someone on the internet who told me...."

See, I'm tempted to judge, but I do get pretty much all of my information from you guys here. (Heck, maybe he's a lurker! Hey bus guy, are you reading this?)

Just saw on Twitter that two of my friends were in a car accident last night. Tweet said they were waiting for a tow truck and not an ambulance, so that's a relief, but what a start to the new year!!

One year when I was in college Conan did a "Central Time Zone New Years Special" with the tagline "Nobody's watching!" IIRC it was basically a collection of all the most offensive and/or controversial sketches. And freaking hilarious.

I dreamt I was dating Bill Nighy last night. It was quite lovely. Then I started seeing someine else too, and it got awkward.

I also managed to say White Rabbits when I woke.

Okay, off to do one more sweep of the apartment and then to the airport. I won't be online regularly until Sunday night--just on my phone and purloined time on my sister's computer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good morning, 2010!

Blueberry pancakes and sausages have been made and eaten. Mmm.

But who gave me the sore throat I woke up with?
