GA: that was a lot of tenseness, just to get rid of the Mercy West kids. I'm glad they let Avery stay though. I like him.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm going to bed and Loki dons his invisibility cloak. Cue 30 frantic minutes that end up with me walking the block going lokislokislokis and then I come inside and he's staring at me quizzically, the shit. I tore the house apart. I called. A lot. He was curled up somewhere. Not the same somewhere as last.

Agreed, Lee! Also, about him, I hope they follow up on the him and Christina tension--make that a counterpart to the whole stupid Teddy/Owen thing...
Am crossing my fingers that the latest possibility of a friend-of-friend roommate works out. She's going to come check out the place.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Mom is in town while Bob takes yet another international trip (apparently Kant scholarship requires way more intl travel than expected). At her laptop she's complaining wile puzzled. "This article doesn't make any sense!" I look over and recognize the source. "Mom, that's from The Onion!" "Oh! No wonder it was so confusing." I need to send her to remedial comedy school, as she told me on the way home how much she enjoyed The Marriage Ref.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am in geek heaven tonight. We went to see our friend Jon's show. It's called USS Pinafore and is a retelling of Gilbert and Sullivan set in the world of Star Trek. It was funny and well-performed and we are so proud of Jon, who wrote and directred it. But the best part that Nichelle Nichols was there! And we sat right next to her! And she loved the show!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That sounds awesome, Scrappy.

Heh.
I am so glad I went to bed early! Now I'm not angry that I woke up early. I wonder if I'll do anything with my day. Probably not.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got up at 6:30 to feed the cats, then went back to sleep. Woke up again at 8 when the second alarm on my clock went off. (I didn't realize it was on. Fixed that) So here I am in my pajamas.

It's a pajama morning here, too. I'm trying to get motivated to take a shower, but getting up from the chair seems a daunting project.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, it is changes in the law. Banks used to automatically enroll everyone in overdraft protection, and some wouldn't let customers opt out. New law says it has to be opt-in.
But the change in the law applies only to ATM card and (one-time) debit card transactions. Banks don't have to let you opt in before paying overdraft checks, for example.
And technically, banks can pay card overdrafts to their heart's content. They just can't charge you a fee if you don't opt in. (And yes, I know banks aren't going to knowingly pay overdrafts if they can't charge a fee. But sometimes -- oh, never mind, I've been working on this issue too much lately.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No pajamas for me. Haircut day. Man, I wish I could still do this myself. Hauling ass out of the house for it is for the birds. I would totally rather loll around the apartment. And now my lolling has to be cruelly interrupted.
Though it is hatefully long (you can see it curl! the horrors!) and it will be refreshing to get it back to stubble.
