Ahg. Next dentist appt: March. Originally? 1/7. Sigh. Hope the temp crown holds up.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Happy Birthday, Frisco! Tell your mother to post a picture! Or two!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Mikhail Baryshnikov, I think.
Whoops. Switched out ballet-men, there.
That is one early picture of Christy Turlington. I was just looking at a 2008 Vanity Fair spread of the 80s supermodels. They've aged, definitely out of their chosen job, but still look good.
God, I barely slept last night. I was definitely up for the dishwasher portion of the night. And my alarm doesn't go off for another half hour. But I can't toss and turn anymore.
Ugh, sarameg. I feel like ass myself, and I just ran out of the good painkillers. It's ridiculous how little insurance covers. And it's not like I can take them at work.
Happy birthday, Frisco! Keep your hands out of your sister's toilet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Feel better, people!
Happy birthday, Frisco!
Happy Australia Day! (Possibly belated now, in Actual Australia....)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why are all these countries' independence days in the middle of summer? That's weird.

You've seen Do The Right Thing? People get pissed off in the heat!

Hot weather makes people feel antsy?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Plus, who wants to start a revolution when it's cold out? All that marching and shit? Not on.

Hell, you can barely get people to show up for the revolution planning meetings in winter!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is actually our Dependence Day. The First Fleet arrived in Sydney Cove on Australia Day, so it's the day we became a British colony. (More precisely, it's the day members of the First Fleet landed in Sydney Cove, and if you're not familiar with it, you should really seek out John H's description of the whole affair in COMM.)
Australia's federation occurred on January 1, 1901. That's really closer to being an independence day for us, but since we already get the day off for New Years, not many true blue fair dinkum dinky di Aussies would favour using that instead. It's a question of priorities, and that priority is to stuff the year with as many opportunities for a piss-up as is humanly possible.
So, in conclusion, let me just say preferential voting, no serial comma and beeeeeeeeer.
