Ugh. I woke up three or four times last night, but not for as good a reason.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

I was thrilled when I turned 30, because I figured any lectures my mother chose to deliver were because of her issues, because I was 30, dammit, and that meant I was a grown-up (for purposes of not having to listen to maternal lectures).

My mother will lecture my corpse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Earthquake? Yikes!

I totally want to do this now, just on principle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Eeep, sorry about the earthquake. My cats started nonsense at 4:15!! NOT ON, cats!
Also, the movers cancelled and rescheduled for Thursday at 2pm, not nearly as convenient.
oh well, I have voted in our special election and now I can be on time for work. Maybe before Thursday I can get some more crap cleared out of the house.

Our wings are not tired.
Planet! Stop shaking people trying to sleep!
Grateful that I married a designated driver. Don't have to worry so much about breathalyzer tests and such. Will remember the stay fled advice though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm very glad that nobody was hurt in the earthquake. I'm also very amused that there's a whole cluster of posts saying "earthquake? you too? dammit, trying to sleep."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm also very amused that there's a whole cluster of posts saying "earthquake? you too? dammit, trying to sleep."
Yes. As someone who has spent my entire life in the Northeast, I do not understand this casual attitude towards PIECES OF THE EARTH'S CRUST BANGING TOGETHER HARD ENOUGH TO SHAKE BUILDINGS.
(See, I was thinking I'd get to the end of the thread and post something about how living in New York means I never have to worry about driving drunk. Now I can add "also no earthquakes*" to that list.)
*Except for that one in 1884 and the next one we're long overdue for that will probably sink the entire East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean. If global warming doesn't get us first.

The sun is out!! If we didn't all wash away this weekend, I feel like we'll be OK.

My newly installed sump pump is still sucking away -- evidently there's just enough ground water in the sump pit to keep it busy while the rest of the basement floor slowly dries out.
Among the other important life lessons we've learned recently: if you filled your basement with water, that would be a whole lot of water. I don't recommend it.
