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

I got to see Colin perform, which I haven't done in fifteen years, and it made me have a whole bunch of feelings, about which I need to get off my chest to him sometime today.

Also, dinner and a show with bon bon and rob rob and Polgara, so that was predictably great.

Met a couple of Colin's co-stars from Eureka, and damn if they aren't tiny tiny people. Seemed nice, but we didn't talk very much. Which I feel totally partially responsible for, since I made no move to include them in conversation beyond striking up initial conversation.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm at Shake Shack, sitting under a heat lamp. I'm pretending it's Springtime!

Mmm... Shake Shack! I'm jealous, Tom.

I signed Noah and Grace up for soccer. Grace is on the special kid team. I can't believe they are old enough for soccer.

Haha. I've marketed, Target and TJ'd. Word came down that work systems are staying down until Monday, the power and systems are just too unstable (apparently, some of them were beginning to get too hot. So I guess the a/c is suffering too.) So I can ignore it until then, though once the webserver comes back up, I need to modify the downtime message. But it is still down.

Anyway, WAAAAAY too much excitement. I'm going to organize and clean and then I will swim.

Man, my house is cluttered.

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

Timelies all!

Power was back when we got home last night(around 9:30) so that's good.(and TiVo got all of the Fringe ep)

In a bit I will pack my garb and accesories in a bag. 3LF has a gig in Easton, MD(on the Eastern Shore)and we are meeting at 3:30 for an early dinner. (The gig starts at 6, and we are meeting at the hotel at 5, in garb, to set stuff up.) Therefore, we are leaving here around 1:30.

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

Wow ita, you had a very social night.

I'm delighted that it is so pretty today, but I am wondering where all the rain went. It seemed so very very wet yesterday, it's hard to believe the sky is so blue this morning.

I need to get dressed for stretch class.

Of course I'm flat out today, and counting the moments till I get can this headache treated, but it was way worth the spoons.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Glad you got to see Colin, ita. Hope your treatment goes as smoothly as possible.

OMG, y'all. I cleaned out the trunk of my car, including sorting usable nails from bent ones that had spilled from my tool belt, and loaded a ton of special recyclables to take to the convenience center, including vhs tapes that had been sitting in my shed for over two years. I also tidied the kitchen and the living room a bit. All of which is massive OT win.

I'm eating cheese toast and drinking some ginger beer, and then Frankie and I shall head out to run errands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The two oranges I bought last week might be the best oranges I've ever eaten. I wish I had gotten more! Yum.

And I am making excellent progress in cleaning off my DVR, although I still can't delete last week's TAR. I was hoping it would fall off while I was gone, but no. I don't know what the problem is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've got a pending offer to be a cashier at Star Market a mile from my house -- pending because there is a background check, which I probably should have more confidence that I will pass.

So not quite momentous news as to be put into Beep Me, but cheerifying just the same. Money coming in and all that, even if it's not a career-type of job, but enough to keep the wolf from the door and the mortgage paid....
