If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

One of the many things about radiators I adore? How I get blissed out cats lying on them, stoned by the warmth. Really happy cats.

I marvel at those who thrift shop. I barely can manage places like Marshalls or TJMaxx. I'm just overwhelmed on every level and need to flee.

For me, thrifting is aaaaallll about the Thrill Of The Hunt. Well, and the staring at something and figuring out what it could be turned into.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, I see you hate my polar bears! No, I figured it was in the queue, but I figured you`d delete it if you needed to. And you did!

For the record, sometimes I delete submissions when I want to post them as a photo or something, rather than the original link.

I had slightly disappointing Mee Siem for dinner. Eh.

Yeah, me? I go in knowing what I want and if I can't find it, get frustrated. I don't wanna search. I want organized and go to.

Unsurprisingly, my wardrobe is boring.

I know many people who feel this way. It's just not the way my brain works. I mean, I know what I *want* to find at the thrift stores, and someday, some bright and sparkly day, I will find a pair of Fluevog Babycakes in my size. But finding other stuff is like a never-ending surprise party!

I need to organize an expedition to the big Goodwill center, where you wear rubber gloves and washable clothes to sort through the bins, and everything is priced by the pound. You can find some amazing stuff there, if you're willing to rummage.

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

I went shopping today. Bra shopping for my sister. We may not be twins, but in some ways we can fake it.

Ordered in pizza. And now it's entirely gross.

Can anyone explain why my one ear has been crackling for days? I don't like it. No vertigo, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey, I found the original "Nights in White Satin" scene from Wiseguy.

Infamously, the producers wouldn't pony up for the DVD rights to the song and then put in some crapass song on the box set.

But in its original incarnation it was incredibly slashy, and the arc style of Wiseguy was a big influence on Joss.

Anyway, here's how Wiseguy originally aired it.

(Premise: Ken Wahl played an undercover agent who got in too deep with the people he was there to take down. This was the end of the Sonny Steelgrave arc featuring Ray Sharkey. The song itself comes at the end of the scene, with the Moody Blues ardent "..and I love you!" parts coming as the two protagonists gaze into each others' beaten faces. Kevin Spacey famously made his bones playing in the next arc as Mel Profitt.)

Mine have been doing funky stuff since the last cold. Volume increases and such. And weirdness. I'm double dosing my usual post swim vinegar-alcohol rinses and paying attention. At least the Target minute clinics do ear infections, cause I'm still doctorless and my last ear dr person contact is gone and the dr retired (yes, I know. On the list for this year.)
