This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I'm intrigued by the trailer for the porn Justice League movie they showed on IO9. Ron Jeremy is the Penguin.

Also, Wonder Woman threatened to use her "truth juices" if her lasso didn't work.

Go Kristen!

Thanks Burrell!

Homerun in my book, Kristen.

Thank you so much!

I was fairly terrified about how the episode would be received but most people really seemed to like it. And, as I predicted, even the ones who didn't were hooked by the cliffhanger.

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

I have your ep taped, Kristen, and I can't wait to watch. Well, except for how I have to.

I am on meeting #2 of 6. All of today is onerous. Well, work day.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I have no onerous tasks for today. Well, going to the grocery store. But I only have half an hour left before I have to leave for work, so I don't think it's happening.

I found a stunning 1950s circle skirt (with built-in crinoline!) at the thrift store today. It had been hacked off at the waistband. I just finished turning down the cut-off edge and whip-stitching it into place. Now I can wear it!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sweet, JZ. Don't feel like you have to get half the share or even pick up eggs regularly, we can work something out for sharing however much y'all want. I just need to put down the last name of whoever will pick up part of the share when I sign up, everything else is flexible.

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

10 scientists who experimented on themselves. Good god, that's disgusting. But better them than other people, I guess.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Onerous: resume-type crap & proposals

Less onerous: finish this round of design tweaks for client project, talk at sproutlings in the garden to encourage them to be bold and grow, walk down to the butcher shop that's now selling local stuff for their meet the farmers event, fencing-n-beer.

Conclusions: God I'm a fucking foodie yuppie. Also, my dread of resume-type crap is epic and ridic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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

Sigh. I know what my onerous task is. The work task I've been avoiding all week.

Me too. A relatively simple thing, too. Don't know what my problem is, but I really don'wanna.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But my mind wants it in the cadence from that dog food commercial. "Hookers and blow, hookers and blow, I'm gonna get me some hookers and blow!"

I'm so glad it wasn't just me.

My onerous task for today: completing the online sexual harassment workshop for work. VERY onerous.
