Shit's all sorts of different now.

I know this is not so much true now, but when my brother was overseas during the Serbia thing, I worried about him less. Except when he was off shift. Put him on ammo detail or chasing a hungarian goatherder to a crashed predator, no problem. Give him off time where he sneaks off site into Skopje or one of the NATO bases? FUCK. Boy charmed his way out of court martial.
My SIL's best friend is a copter pilot in Afghanistan. No fun.

And there was less shooting at for my kid, given where he was based.

The start of this week's Criminal minds is cracking me up, gven how many of the actors I follow on twitter.

Yeah, I posted that while they were still on the plane.

What the hell, the Kaiser Permanente Thrive lady is Allison Janney? I had no idea.
Huh, I just thought it was an extremely talented voiceover person. Because, man, she sells whatever mood they're peddling.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just spent three hours skyping my sister and second cousin and cousin's friend. It was a return to the raunch that I said I'd been missing. Poor cousin's friend peeped up every now and again with "how did you do that?" Because when we throw anecdotes around, it sounds random wild. And we barely covered any time at all. Nice to F2F with the sister (she's so proud of me, it's weird she gets to antsy when I brag on her) and also cool to see the cousin--I used to live with her for a while when I just moved to the US. She's now grown with husband and kids, but we interact like when we were teens.
I hope my cousin comes out to visit soon. I'm skeered of the east coast. I want her here. I don't know where to go to get into trouble, but I want some, dammit. Headaches be cursed.

That sounds awesome, ita.
You should come up here. We could find you some trouble

ita, touching in again sounds awesome.
sarameg, work stress is sucky for me because I always think I should be able to leave it at work and I rarely can.
I just caught up on Glee. I have to say Idina Menzel as Rachel's mom is perfect and eerie and damn her voice is beautiful. Their duet was perfect. I thought that NPH was fantastic. This episode was very Joss. The highs and lows weren't totally ridiculous and soap-operatic and everyone was so human. Why can't Joss direct it all the time? And take care of arc?
Also also, the Artie/Tina part was lovely and poignant and just right. Even though there was the typical Gap-ad everyone on stage singing final number, this one was so small and beautiful and perfect and sad. And I loved it. Anyone else see it?
