Sox, you're there! Whee!
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

I'll help, Liese!
Okay! And dude, whining about moving is completely justifiable. We will empathize and make nodding motions with our heads while you whine. Go for it.
I just tried to take a nice soothing Sunday nap. But then I had two exciting nightmares, involving a) stranger danger! Someone working on the neighboring lot (true, happened recently, but is over) and peering in my bedroom window at me in my bed, asking if I had a dog (not even physically possible). I should have been cued in by the giant field of cornstalks visible through the window, but although I pinged to that, my subconscious scrambled and tried to show that it was only a few cornstalks, honestly, and they were just growing there by accident. Like, from my birdseed. Swears. My subconscious needs to be quicker on the uptake, because I didn't really believe it and that's what woke me up.
And then b) Jilli font one featuring giant spiders the size of my foot which had evolved a new way to use its webbing as basically a trapeze, from which it swung out along the carpet (I don't have carpet) and attacked other insects, which it could then retract and swing back to its web. My first instinct was to find my Flip to record it for you all. Then I realized there were a bunch more and I'd probably have to kill them. I woke up still searching for my camera. But thankfully, just a dream! I feel positively perky now, though.

Now I'm sorry there's no video.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
David, that ice cream truck story is BANANAS. I see a novel in that, but not a war novel, more like a crazy time-travel thing.
I suggested a Wes Anderson movie, but I could also totally see a comic episode of Dr. Who with that scene in it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
AUGH football.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eek, Liese, those sound scary.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ack. Can't watch the end of football. Maybe with my fingers over my eyes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It turned out okay, Dana. You can look.
