Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

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

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
For once, I had a lovely group at work celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. The man of honour reminded me of my dad with all his engineering curmudgeonliness, and they surprised me with how early and efficiently they shut down and cleaned up. The caterer was a bit of a ditz, with his tromping through the flowers as he unloaded the car, and upon being told he was tromping, proceeded to "what?" and fall over the flowers some more. I mean, he literally almost took out the azaleas as well as the deadnettle he was standing in.
Otherwise, a very lovely bunch. Wish they were all like that.

OMG I want to marry this woman and have her babies....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aren't you about two feet taller than she is?

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

That is way cool.
Last night I dreamt I had to put down rising colour/class tensions by killing people. I don't think anyone wanted to marry me, not even the person in the dream being played by Jensen Ackles, sadly. But I had a job to do, to keep the thugs and the racists from making things worse. By shooting them in the head.

Swouncing
Skipping yet again (not having a talking-to-the-internet computer makes me feel like I have to talk with my hands tied behind my back) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is DebetEsse'a birthday.
Happy birthday, DebetEsse! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Oh, and lovely Sundays all around, of course!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I get to wish DebetEsse Happy Birthday in person tonight!

“Not dead yet!”
Well, YAY, DebetEsse! Happy Birthday!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
My current theory is that after I called my landlord's bluff on the "we're gonna take you to court and evict you" thing, they just decided to ignore me until I go away - i.e. they haven't talked to me or done any treatment since May. (My lease will be up at the end of Sept. so I'll be out then, if not sooner.) Maybe they figure they'll treat the bugs in my apartment once I'm gone.
tommyrot, are you worried about bedbugs hitching a ride in your stuff when you move? Your landlord really is obligated to treat your apartment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm on my way up to my sister's. I was late this morning; I thought I missed my train. But the train was late, too, and now I get to frolic in the sweltering heat with my nieces and nephew. Yay!
