I was watching, on and off, a show called "Junk Raiders" where they were trying to do a fairly high-end construction project using almost all freecycled materials. The team was two devoted freecyclers, some professional construction guys, and one interior designer. One of the freecyclers was a real pain, the other was only sometimes a pain. But it was an interesting idea.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

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

“Not dead yet!”
Oh lordy, Seattle-istas.
A two-block section of Third Avenue near the King County Courthouse was closed for two hours Friday morning after a man carrying an object that resembled a pipe bomb told people he was a vampire looking for food. Bomb-squad officers took the 33-year-old man into custody near the main entrance to the King County Courthouse about an hour after police received the first call at 8:11 a.m.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
eeps. This near death conversation is making me edgy.
Then again, could be the headache.

Not just you, Burrell. And I got rid of my headache a few hours ago. In fun news, I went to Sur La Table to check out the new cassis colored Le Creuset and bought this wee little mini-casserole to try out at home.
I'm using it as a salt cellar, so it sits on the counter and looks adorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I skimmed by the scary stories pretty quickly.... I want a burger for dinner, but can't decide if I want it enough to go out alone. Hmmmm.

Punishingly Intricate
That reminds that the first day I was in Boston for freshman orientation, I almost got hit by a trolley. I was crossing a busy street, paying careful attention to the cars, but completely spaced on looking out for trains. I started to cross the tracks and got a huge blast of the horn. Jumped back just in time too. That would have put a damper on my college career.
I heard that there was a freshman killed by a Green line train every year at BU! There was one the year I was a freshman, for sure.
I (KNOCK WOOD) don't think I've had a near-death experience. No (KNOCK WOOD) bad car accidents or medical close-calls. I was attacked in my house by an intruder but I'm pretty sure he was unarmed and I was able to fight him off (and chase him down the hall yelling about how he needed to get the fuck out of my house and how I was going to get him...possibly he considers our encounter a near-death experience for him! I'd like that!)
