Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was a wackadoo early to bed, early to rise child -- like, my parents never had to give me a bedtime, and I generally woke up before sunrise. So the rule was that I had to stay in my room until my parents' alarm went off at 7 on weekdays. (I don't remember what the story was on the weekends.)

not your mom's socks.

HKF responded to our statement that weekends should be different with a Maggie Smith / Downton Abbey "What is a... 'week-end'?" look.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, remember on Friday I was all about emigrating to Berlin? Today, mr. flea got a rejection email about that job, and an email inviting him on a second interview in Dublin with IBM (which presumably knows how to move people internationally, at least). I hate the job-search rollercoaster.

Well, yay second interview, flea? Dublin would have the advantage also of being able to speak the language (at least mostly)! :)

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

Smonster's suggestion found me a place near here, -t, but thanks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think the new VW Beetle could easily be made to look like the red Angry Bird.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So disturbing, but SO FUNNY! Like an Anne Geddes nightmare.

So in I-am-vaguely-competent news, I powered through a bunch of paperwork today. And in I-am-vaguely-INcompetent news, I flubbed the box cupcakes and had to dump them back in the bowl and add more ingredients. D'oh!
