I'm still on the verge of tears (night time, why must you do me so?), but it's not like I have a choice of going in or not.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Many sympathies, sarameg and family.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A GANG of thieves armed with a powerful vacuum cleaner that sucks cash from supermarket safes has struck for the FIFTEENTH time in France.
The burglars broke into their latest store near Paris and drilled a hole in the "pneumatic tube" that siphons money from the checkout to the strong-room.
They then sucked rolls of cash totalling £60,000 from the safe without even having to break its lock.
Police said the gang — dubbed the Vacuum Burglars — always raid Monoprix supermarkets and have hit 15 of the stores branches around Paris in the past four years.
A spokesman added: "They spotted a weakness in the company's security system and have been exploiting it ever since.

Many pictures of trapped insects, and one of a mouse trapped in a pitcher plant.

I can haz new stove!! Just goes to show how Sears home appliance departments vary by location - not only did the guys show up on time with the right things, they carried it up 4 flights of stairs and took the old stove away with no complaints. AND they pointed out the huge dent in the back of the fridge they were supposed to deliver and helped DH get on the phone to exchange it for a non-damaged one.
Fingers crossed that the installers (due tomorrow) are as on the ball as the delivery team so I can get this thing hooked up. (And yes, I will probably say "Now we're cooking with gas!" as soon as it's connected. Don't judge me.)

I liked Jason Segal in Forgetting Sarah Marshall(he would be a hover-y boyfriend, which I wouldn't really like,) but I felt sorry for him when he got dumped and stuff. And I think Sarah and the rock star were supposed to suck, but Kristin Bell did it a little too well because I don't really want to watch her being adorable now, either.

I obviously need more romantic missteps, because I could think only of him as an idiot for falling for her shit.
Today's armour against the world is the gloriously wrong plaid and polka dot top, earrings from my BFF, and cowboy boots. So far it's not working. I need to get off this call and have breakfast.
