I think I'm going to watch a episode or six of SG-A. Thanks for all the sympathy.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.
'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yesterday I saw a coyote and a pair of elk. Not at the same time.
But then, I live way out in the middle of nowhere. Not actually that remarkable for us.

Hee. Yeah, out in NM, I'm used to the wildlife. Elk, deer, coyotes, roadrunners, bear, mountain lions, yeah, ok, hiyas. Here in B'more? I almost drove off the road when I saw a black bear in Owings Mills.
Also, I'm all YAY URBAN FOX! We're encroaching on them, only fair they figure out how to come back.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh yeah, I saw a roadrunner yesterday too. Hee.
I'm totally yay about your fox! Foxes are so small when you see them in real life. And fast!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I swear I've never heard it before. My apartment building seems to have its own twitter equivalent--loud parents talking in the courtyard. Which for the first time I appreciated. Because West LA just shook like a motherfucker.
It just has to be usually not so loud, right?

I think it's funny that people are freaked out here by coyotes -- when a rap on the window will scare them off by half a mile at my parents' house.

He or she was smaller than Loki! And it wasn't darting, just sauntering as if it owned the sidewalk.
My parents have a roadrunner who comes and suns itself on the iron table in front of their dining room windows. Likes the ventilation, I guess. And likes to drive their 3 cats absolutely MAD. They'll all be at the window, crazed and chittering, and it is out there, wings spread and relaxed.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh aurelia, so sorry.
OK. Little boy followed up trollish behavior with many hugs and snuggles and is now sleeping like an angel. Sigh. Impossible, and impossible not to love him.

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

I've never noticed anything when other people closer to the source have talked about the noise--I figured it was more on the level of truck noise--easy to mistake for something else. But this was not like traffic or anything else easy to pass off.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think my NyQuil was defective.
