What part of "No one knows the day nor hour" do these people not get? Even if you buy into whatever version of end-times theology they're selling, Scripture is pretty daggone clear about this bit. There's a whole parable, about being prepared, not losing focus. What, that bit you don't have to trust God about? Sheesh.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So many bits.... so many reasons to say "sheesh"....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Saw a guy in the supermarket wearing this shirt. I wanted to give him a secret geek high five. Instead I just grinned like a dork and got weird looks from the checkout guy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We really need a secret geek high five. We could transmit instructions on how to do it over this internet thing that only geeks can access...oh, no wait.

Also, I love that shirt.

I'm pretty sure I did just short of a literal highfive with the guy at the pool with a Hubble tattoo. Who was there again tonight. He has a tiger on the other shoulder. Just interesting choice of tattoos.

I guess I could have gone up to him and said "Who was your first?" But the last time I struck up geeky T-shirt conversation with a guy I was sorely disappointed.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Remember that episode of Friends where Phoebe's smoke detector kept beeping, and she couldn't make it stop?
And remember how our house has ridiculously high ceilings and we don't have a big ladder?
This explains why my husband was balancing a ladder on two bar chairs.

I would have just thrown things at it until it broke.
But I've been there. At 2 am. Luckily, I could reach it with the ladder I had. Or rather, them. It was 2 am, I wasn't going to try to figure out which of the 3 it was, so I just yanked all of them down to deal with in the morning. At 2 am.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
ugh, not only am I home sick, but I had to give up my Lords of Acid ticket because there's no way I could do that. Grrr. I had better be well by this weekend.
