Perfectly reasonable behaviour.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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.

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

Because books.
Makes me want to fly down there and personally start slapping the shit out of that whole community.
Understatement.
she walked straight into the bathroom and put her paws up on the tub in anticipation of the bath she knew she'd be getting.
Aw. Good Sass!
Perfectly reasonable behaviour.
That was excellent. Heh.

lisah? Have any recs?
Do they love coffee, possibly? I'd say a Zeke's gift cert if so. If not, I don't know if Hamilton Tavern does gift certs but that's a good option if they do. Yummy and reasonably priced and in your hood, basically.
Do they work over near where you do? If so, Charmingtons!

Coding and Sleeping
I've decided to take some vacation which I haven't done in... quite a while.
I need to do some cleaning, replace the dishwasher, build a trebuchet, build a DVR, change the oil in the cars, and hopefully get in some writing.

Perfectly reasonable behaviour.
Absolutely. And shared.

Vacation good, Gud!
It's slowly dawning on me that I as a full-time employee with have stuff like paid vacations and holidays. Less free time, of course, and boring work at best, but Actual Benefits included.
(I start training as a supermarket cashier tomorrow night. I probably have repeated that too many times already, but it looms large in my life at the minute.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I can't believe they're reporting a local story about Prospect Park in the Guardian: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's a great piece. I especially enjoyed this bit:
Among these disaffected residents is, by coincidence, Sadik-Khan's predecessor as the city's transportation commissioner, Iris Weinshall, whose tenure is not recalled for its visionary overhaul of city planning and traffic management. Weinshall happens to be married to Charles (Chuck) E Schumer, Democratic senator for New York.
ION, I feel like I could use a day off, but it's just because there were so few full workweeks in December and January, and now it's been several in a row! WTF, five days of working??

Fuuuuuck. There is so much wrong with my car (and I was right: snapped clutch cable. That's the cheap part.) I have not attained quite Kristen's repair bill, but close. And it probably won't be ready for ANOTHER day.

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