Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Since the only reason Steve Jobs would resign is he's probably about to die, that's kinda sad.

That's what I wasthinking, too.

I was just watching Rizzoli & Isles, and saw one of my former students from about 8 years ago playing a really bit part. It wasn't even a big enough part for him to be in imdb, but I found him on Facebook, and it was he! SO weird.

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

Timelies all!

Got back from my trip last night.(Yes, I am amused that while I was in San Francisco waiting for my plane to take off there was an earthquake practically in my backyard.)

Worldcon was fun, aside from some logistic problems. Am tired, but not as much as I would have expected from the jet lag.(Not to mention a certain feline who kept meowing outside our bedroom last night) I have a sneaking suspicion tomorrow may kick my ass but good.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is it ok to use fortnightly for twice a month?

DH is bummed about Pat Summit.

That's so sad about Pat Summit.

Fortnightly means every two weeks, so strictly speaking it's not twice a month.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Timelies! I just wanted to announce that I have, for the 3rd or 4th time in my life, just burned a pot of hard-boiled eggs.

I forgot about it. Even though I only have 1 room in my apartment, the airconditioner is on and I couldn't hear it boiling.

Luckily, I smelled it before it set off the smoke alarm.

I'm just so proud of myself right now.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Hey Connie. We went to the doc and he said CJ's nose is raw and to treat it gently while it heals (careful in karate and with his high altitude training on Saturday). He gave CJ a few tips for if he gets any nose bleeds in the next week. They also took 3 vials of blood to check for various things. I'm kinda glad he didn't give me a laundry list of what they are checking (don't need anything extra to worry about until results are available on Friday). Based on CJ's medical history, he hasn't had issues with uncontrolled bleeding before, so this was likely a freaky one off thing. But I'm glad they are checking anyway.

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

That sounds okay for CJ.

How can you POSSIBLY victim blame in a rape case where the victim is 11? How? She could have been naked and trying to sit on your dick, there's no excuse.

Because books.

It's the eyes thing that would have freaked me out, Suzi. I'm glad they took blood -- but I agree it's better not to know right now what they're checking for.

It reminds me of when Jake was a newborn and it looked like one of his eyes was bleeding. I FREAKED out, and it turned out he'd scratched the rim with one of his tiny, sharp fingernails.

Fortunately/unfortunately, when the doc asked how he heals from cuts, we were able to tell him about how CJ stabbed himself in the leg a month ago and bleeding wasn't an issue. Intelligence, on the other hand...
