No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The Glooooom of Dooooom is still at full-throttle in the Midwest. Le sigh.

Coffee, and then to office to snatch few moments grading papers before my 9 o'clock class.

In further "I want to marry Casper's friend Thomas" news, his mother reports that he told her a list of reasons she chose Casper over other girls, who are either too bossy or too quiet. I guess Casper is juuust right. (I think so too, but I may be prejudiced.)

Ninja schools! There are ninja schools? Seriously? love!

Good morning shiny people!

Have you seen the palindrome movie that won an AARP contest: [link] It's kinda cool because the meaning changings when you read and hear the text the opposite direction. (Not a true palindrome, but sort of).

Good morning shiny people!

There are shiny people, in the morning?

I don't think that should be allowed.

I'm a relatively shiny person. I mean, in my household that is. But I have lots to look forward to.

I have the final IEP for Grace - here's to us getting her the therapies she needs.

Fingers crossed, Kat.

Even if you have to be shiny.

Well, my other option is not shiny which doesn't work too well.

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

Good on Grace. That should be shiny making.

I'm a little aglow this week with family and friend stuff, but otherwise it's a normal week with crazy work and standard pain, which is a bummer. I wish I could at least change the pain status quo. The work thing I'm getting a handle on.

The marathon call last night was fascinating, though. I can't imagine why anyone spends any time around my family when we're not on our good behaviour. Dear lord, those people (yeah, them) are crazy. We're so dialled up to 11. I can't even imagine how any of us can hold down relationships. Not that many of us do.
