Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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

So I'm reading Our Valued Customers, which is always a good time, and then I go read the IO9 article about drinking during pregnancy, and this post:

Well actually, I saw an episode of this on the "Law and Order SVU" the other day, where an alcoholic woman was pregnant and Benson managed to defend her and negotiate with the judge to drop charges so long as she signed up with AA and agreed to a court order to not drink....then literally the next night, Benson visits her apartment and finds her openly drinking again, so Benson turns her in for breaking the court order. So it got me thinking about the whole issue.

While being way too long, this is exactly the sort of deep thinking Valued Customers are known for. It's beautiful.

Where are my painkillers?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've managed to hold out against the heat this long (it's 94 here) but I think retreat to AC is going to happen soon.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So I'm reading Our Valued Customers,

sob. How can there BE that much stupid?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How can there BE that much stupid?

There is a lot of stupid in the world. This is why the stupid is winning.

The status is NOT quo.

We've had beautiful weather this month in Pasadena. Mostly 70s and 80s, and of course very low humidity. The desert climate has spoiled me. I'm hopeful we can hold onto this weather at least through the F2F.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How can there BE that much stupid?

So much stupidity. And yet, also, profound wisdom.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Turns out Janet Varney and Christina Hendricks are friends.

So if you wondered what it would be like if Avatar Korra and Joan Holloway sat around talking about their theater geek and teen goth years, here you go.

They even allude to the apparently inescapable Ren Faire/Rocky Horror schism in high school theater departments everywhere.

Jilli, you will love these photos, but the story may be a crypoint for you

Oh, those are beautiful images. I am not reading the article right now because of your warning, and I really appreciate the warning.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, Christina Hendricks is talking about how she still feels like her Teen Goth self and is offended when people say, "I bet you were a cheerleader in high school."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
