Yup. It was definitely going to be too cold. We left, and the band leader`s car`s 4wd gave out. I was all, this is my fault. But then, the power came on right as we were going, so we set the heater in the far bathroom.
And we made it to town and the band leader bought me dinner because I was a douf and forgot I could have cooked on the propane. Or the woodstove for that matter. And we closed out the Arby`s so they gave us a bag of free turnovers.
So we`re at the hotel now, fed and warm. The Biscuit thinks it`s awesome. Hopefully tomorrow will ease up.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
GA: Avery!
Liese, take care.
GA: There's going to be a musical episode. I don't even.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad to hear you're fed and warm, Liese. Sleep well.
I am just now getting a chance to check my gmail acct, and I notice this in an email from Groupon:
Hand-crafted goods, like giggling babies coated in a thick layer of wax, showcase what skilled fingers are capable of.
WTF?!? Who the hell dips a giggling babies in wax?

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Burrell, I like Groupon for the most part (hell, I bought $60 worth of Groupons for a gluten-free bakery from them today for $30), but I think their attempts at "humor" (scare quotes intentional) are just weak and sad. They just try too hard and aren't as cool and funny as they think they are.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh. Matilda has a cough that hasn't responded to two doses of cough medicine.
I'm already tensing up knowing how little sleep I'll get tonight.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The fine people from the Society for the Preservation of Giggling Babies, that's who.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So cold! I am snuggled on the couch with the puppies. There is about 4 in of snow on the ground and under that about an inch of ice. Guess who gets to go in anyway due to a meeting called on Wed. By bosses boss. I will give you a hint. She has two thumbs and is awake at 4am.
