I made myself a fruit salad for second breakfast: half a banana, half a pink lady apple, blueberies (sweet!) and strawberries. Topped with a dollop of plain Russian yogurt. It's good.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Nice so instead of seeing that people may have had a point, Cake Wrecks just doubles down on the king cake thing. [link]
I think that's the problem with snarky humor sometimes. Mocking something you're not a part of is risky, but then when people take offense, you probably shouldn't tell them not to be so sensitive, and then mock the fact that they were offended.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe I'll do it.
If I had to do it over again (which I might, on my MacBook), I bet I could do it in half an hour. But you should probably google the instructions for a MacBook Pro first. I'm guessing you'd need more than fingernails to pry that aluminum bezel off.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm a little pouty because someone called my use of Bleeding Cowboy cliche, and well, *I've* never seen it before. However, I'm going to breathe and get past it. I trust youse guys.
Someone on IO9 asked who'd you'd like to see play a Starfleet captain. The most intriguing suggestion I saw was Helen Mirren. Oh, that would be marvellous. I vote for Idris Elba, myself.

oh hell yes.
ita, I'm seeing Bleeding Cowboy out in circulation, but it's not necessarily cliche. If someone wants to play snobbymcFontypants, tell them you know People.

I don't think any onerosity of today can beat Sunday. I have a deployment, an ER trip, and a panel to go to. My day starts at midnight, and I have no idea how I'm going to pace everything. But...I am going to the panel, and I am going to the ER, and the application is being deployed.
