That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

msbelle, I'm sorry about the job. Hopefully the right job is coming up soon.

Why do doctors' offices give kids cheap toys?

When Kelly was going though her medical issues, we discovered that her doctors office had two toy boxes. One, with the cheap toys to most of the kids who were there for routine visits. And another with the good stuff for the Make a Wish kids. And her oncologist always had good stuff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sorry about the job, msbelle.

Just watched I'm just a Bill. Schoolhouse Rock makes me wibble.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Trudy, keep me posted! I am excited for the new life of your feet! Also, I may be coming to NYC to comfort my ex on his break-up with his long-term boyfriend (and by "comfort" I do not mean porn, I mean theater tickets). If I do I'll come see you and, I dunno, bring you a sandwich or something.

I am teaching Rime of the Ancient Mariner tomorrow, including the Iron Maiden version.

This is so cool. The Rime had such a huge impact on me.

Why do doctors' offices give kids cheap toys?

They are pro-clutter? Or don't want to be accused of offering the unhealthy lollipop anymore.

In any case, it's a bad practice.

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

msbelle, better job next time. Better job.

My boss called me five times in half an hour. For a stupid reason. Not that he was stupid to call--just that the thing that precipitated the call shouldn't have ever happened.

Okay, I'm off to buy groceries so I can cook dinner again. No, I'm not organised enough to plan ahead. One step at a time.

Oh, the Rime. I had to memorize Part III for class (DEATH!) Or rather, I chose to. I find that funny now.

Raked up leaves and trash from the winds earlier this week. Bag full and I need to do the rest this weekend (vacant houses. Makes our street look trashy.) So many chip bags. It's the kids walking to school. WHY CAN'T THEY USE THE TRASHCAN AT THE END OF THE STREET!??!
