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

Okay, thanks. I didn't notice it then.

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

Timelies all!

Ah, another reminder why I don't read George Will's columns.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should have saved it for the workweek.

If the gov't shuts down, my project has funds to run (and pay people) for several weeks. But not months. And of course there is the weird case of subcontractors. Cause I'm pretty sure they've already paid for our contracts, since they're on a different fiscal year. I don't know.

Last major shutdown (fuck you, Newt, even your kid hated you) the gov't held my passport hostage as I was preparing to leave the country. This time? My job and my tax return.

Well, that buys 2 weeks.

Looks like I'm having a girls' night with Taylor Saturday. She's had a rough couple of weeks (friend drama and she got herself in big trouble with her dad) and sounds like she just needs a bit of perspective.

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

Has Ple seen this?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

tomorrow morning I start my 24 hours of clear liquids only. I really should have planned better and gotten some thai food or made something yum. Instead I'll have a big salad, some homemade cornbread and some ice cream, I guess.

I expect to be GRUMPS by this time tomorrow.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

msbelle, you have my sympathy I did that a few weeks ago, and I couldn't get enough food when it was all done.
