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

Timelies all!

Picked up some more socks and underwear at Target so I'll have more than enough to cover the 11 days of our trip.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I can imagine the blood, Todd, since after a few of my unfortunate incidents I found blood everywhere, and I'm talking about much less blood.

I didn't realize their were crime scene cleaners until I read an article about a local firm a few years ago. I thought that would be a great idea for a mystery, and now there are a couple of series featuring crime scene cleaners. I spend my life thinking, "Why didn't I write that?" The article included a graphic description of a clean up of a house the owner had just walked away from. Neighbors had called police because of the overwhelming odor, which turned out to be the food in the freezer in the garage. Anaerobic bacteria don't care how they smell.

Aims - I have wanted to watch it, but seeing as I still have issues with bloody stuff almost 10 years later, I've been hesitant.

Got it. Yeah - it's not a clean movie.

I think the only reason I can watch and enjoy SPN is because it is usually kinda obvious with the icky stuff is going to happen. Plus I usually watch while on my laptop, so it is easy to duck and avoid the gore.

There was a triple murder at a picnic of a theater group my boss was involved with 3 years ago, and she couldn't say enough about how professional and kind the crime scene cleaning people were. It means a lot to the victims to have that help.

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

Fringe, SPN, and Bones used to all battle for the same evening. The amount of psychic gore in the air...maybe that's why they switched times.

I learned not to eat during Bones or Fringe VERY quickly.

Oof, I want to fall down now. After stopping work, I went and had the most EXCELLENT swim ever! First half mile (18 laps) with a 56.5 pace, next 13: 55.4, next 11 in 54.5 and the last 12 at an amazing 53.75. I must've just had a really efficient technique (for me) down, because it didn't feel that much harder than when I have my crappy days. Likes carrots, etc.

Then I came home and fed other people's cats, my cats, dinner, took the trash out, repotted a plant, watered the rest, pickled some cukes.
