On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

ita and Anne-- what days you have had!

I just read that Amber Tamblyn and David Cross are getting married. I didn't know they were dating. I think it is sweet, but I kind of always picture David Cross as Tobias Funke, wearing those short denim shorts as a never-nude.

No fire, welcome home, good job and ita, bleah.

Trying to wear out the Loki with his favorite toy mouse. It's tailless, faded neon green from the sun, slightly squashed and all other toy mice pale in comparison. So weird.

I need to blog my ceiling hole. But it depresses me.

Right? And I can never forget that she's Russ Tamblyn's daughter. Aside from West Side Story and Twin Peaks, he was also a major artist figure in Wallace Berman's beat group associated with his magazine Semina.

My mother had a super duper major crush on Rush Tamblyn (from the WSS era, not the Twin Peaks Era. I believe he was also in 7 Brides for 7 Brothers), so I am always surprised that he is not more famous than he is! Weirdly, now that I think of it, he is the only white man that my mother ever spoke of having a crush on (she also likes Sidney Poitier and Harry Belefonte).

Yup! Plus my favorite 50s exploitation movie, High School Confidential. Which also has Drew Barrymore's dad as a poetry spouting beatnik. Recommended!

The hugest fly ever to exist is in my living room, and it won't stand still so I can kill it. I looked it up, and it may lay eggs in mucous membranes!!!!! I will never be able to sleep until I kill this mother f*cker!

I've been asked by 3 different people, 2 who see me daily, if I'm on a diet/lost weight in the past couple of days. The thing is, I haven't according to the scale. But maybe things are rearranging again. I notched in the new bras, but figured that was stretching. I would attribute it to the fact I haven't worn pants or long sleeves in over 2 months, except those 2 people who see me daily.

I don't mind, it's just odd. I guess when I start wearing my clothes from a few months ago, I'll find out. I'd like to lose some more, but not going to bust my ass or risk headaches to do any more than I do now. Which I think is quite acceptable: swimming 12+ miles a week at a decent pace plus my diet is pretty much golden. I feel damned strong, can bolt up 5 stories without getting winded, carrying 45lbs of litter up the stairs isn't onerous. I'm happy.

Sophia, step away from google. And don't set it on fire.

Wait, 4 people, 3 who see me regularly. Forgot my neighbor.

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

I'm going to say a big grand ixnay on the irefay. Call it a hunch.

I am in the most bizarre moods right now. Just odd. I hope I don't do anything I regret, and that should start with staying off OKC.

Also, I'm not 43. I've been thinking I was 43 for...weeks now. I'm not sure what's up with that.

Right. Back to catching with nearly oldest friend over text message.

Anne, even as a fire enthusiast, I have to say DON'T CATCH ON FIRE.

How are people?

Kittens are awesome, job hunt sucks, and I'm stopping the new antibiotic I was put on because "possible" side effects of increased depression, anxiety, and confusion were Not Fun. Semi-hysterical crying for no reason for 5 days in a row? No thanks, stopping that now.
