Aw, that's adorable, flea. By the way, if you're interested, here's my post on The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, which explains more about what did and didn't work for me.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Don't you mean Oscar Wilde?

“Not dead yet!”
Nope. Oscar Wao is the protagonist of a novel by Junot Díaz.

That was an inside joke for P-C and Flea.
Also, flea, I haven't forgotten about the photos.
And it looks like my FedEx package with Adèle Blanc-Sec arrived. However, Volume 2 was backordered so they canceled that part of the order. Naturally, having just 1, 3, and 4 (and not 2) is going to drive me batshit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can still talk about daytime tv! Just late. On maybe yesterday's Ellen, Jaden Smith was on being maybe too cute. He's going to be a handful. But here's what I'm thinking: The new Karate Kid movie looks really cool. I just don't understand why it's called Karate Kid!!!!

Because Kung Fu Kid would sound like a sequel to Kung Fu Panda starring a baby goat.

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

That chaps my britches too.

I am at a place in Portland and the power just went out. I mean it was raining kind of hard, but no thunder or anything...and now it's been out for like ten minutes! How crazy.

We had a totally irritating fire drill today. And I realised way too late that a co-worker tried to tip me off about it. Although I would have gotten in trouble if I'd ditched it. Still, 11 floors in the metal stairwell was hell on the head.
And I had the shit startled out of me when another co-worker patted me on the back. I'm so attuned against office physical contact that the idea that he touched me to apologise for having his back to my back was a complete inversion of what not to do at work.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Really? I mean, it was raining but not enough to kill power, I wouldn't have thought.
