You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

But I did like him in the teevee show with Amber Tamblyn

I am most of the way through the full set of The Unusuals, and I'm really enjoying it. Although I wish they'd focus more on Amber Tamblyn's character: the last several episodes have all been about the guys, with Tamblyn just standing around playing newbie/decent cop.

I do like that they never go to the romance place between Tamblyn and Renner's character: they're partners, but both are in romantic relationships with other people.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Kate, I had asked because there are times when I miss Ohio and I can't figure out if it is nostalgia (certainly a big chunk) for the ease of my own childhood or if it's just I miss the ease of family and people I know. I do know the last time I went to the midwest in the summer, I just missed the green - grass and trees and no fire season? Joy!

That which does not kill you should RUN

We have a fruit fly invasion at work (a co-worker FORGOT about an apple in her desk, ISTG). We're starting to keep track of how many we kill (Chatty!co-worker is in the lead, but I'm gaining).

I think a flamethrower is called for. (Aims told me on Facebook I could have one.) I texted Tim to tell him of the fruit fly invasion and ask where to buy a flamethrower, and he texted back "Hair spray plus lighter." I love that man. AND he's my only chance of surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People made fun of Mitt Romney for saying the trees are the right height in Michigan, but I think there's something to it -- the general environment where you grew up feels correct in some undefinable way, I think.

I think you should teach the fruit flies how to copy-edit.

They're small enough that I could use them as punctuation!

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

I think you should smush them on a piece of paper and then scan the paper and make it the desktop wallpaper on the computer belonging to the person who left the fruit out.

Eta: or what Teppy said.

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

Do I really have to have an opinion on the rape joke thing? Ugh. I can't believe my sister is making me do this. I don't even know what the joke is. This is kinda deliberate.

I vote "no".

I don't even know what the joke is.

Extremely unfunny.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't know what the joke is, either. I have no opinion.
