Heh -- today I stood by and listened as a native Amharic speaker read the Census questions to a native Chinese speaker. Not a whole lot of pronunciations in common there, but they managed.
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes? I'm sure there is. He likes to do stuff. But I am totally blanking. We are going hiking tomorrow. To be hiking but also in pursuit of Maryland morels.
A nice restaurant that does something exciting with morels??

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think the sisters and sisters-in-law.
I think there's got to be something up with Christina and her family. Like she had a bad or abusive family situation and the Bravermans took her in. She made a comment like that once, and she seems so close with her husband's family.

Friday fun video: Hanson (yes, that Hanson) pays tribute to The Blues Brothers movie.
The song's quite good, too--has a nice beat, and you can dance to it.

Fully legal in Arizona!
As long as it's an American Golem.

I was just thinking how the Bravermans do so much together and there's not much mention of in-laws - just Jasmine's family so far, I think. Which is reasonable, there are already so many characters to follow.

Jessica, you're welcome to come over any time and clean up the rat's nest of cables behind me TV and computer.
Or my place! And I have the added bonus of two potential playmates.
Everytime I think I am getting fucked over by what seems to be weird issues with insurance and Grace's discharge, I am surprised. It seems she will most likely qualify for 88 hours of nursing a week. 11 shifts of 8 hours, to move around as necessary. Given that she will be in preschool from 7-11, where a health tech will be there one-on-one with her along with a nurse for everyone, I think we might be okay. But OH MAN, am I stressed? yes.
lisah, I love the idea of a morel-ly restaurant.
