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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My friends just named their new baby girl Jinx. Unexpected but kind of charming.
(smonster, your friend C S-H's brother and his wife).
Mazel tov!! I like the name.
Happy birthday to Sue and Firefly!! And Aldis Hodge, if he's lurking.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has someone gotten The Civil Rights Agenda to comment on Chik Fil A still supporting Marriage and the Family Foundation? It sounds like the ball's in their court.
One of the villa guests sent my sister a bit of a passive aggressive "do you still like me?" email. I know she's having a hugely bad time right now, but...can't you stave off asking until a week has gone by? I dunno...I know I'm overprotective sometimes, but it rankles.
Oh, and sis has watched S1 of Community twice now. Pop pop!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I agree, ita !, a little window of chill doesn't seem too much to ask.
Oh, how cool is this? Conductive thread so you can knit it into the fingertips of your gloves and still use touchscreens. I didn't know whether to put it in the crafts thread or technology, so I went with Natter.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I have gloves like that. They are awesome. Though the conductive fingers get noticeably colder than the others if it's really bad out. Still worth it.

I hate it when I start a spreadsheet for something, think there must be a template out there, fail to find anything good, format it myself, leave it half done for two weeks, and then come back to it. Because now I'm starting the cycle all over, and my notes and photos are never good enough, and I just want to take a nap.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Sue!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I feel you, smonster. I have two tasks sitting open in Open Office right now, because I kinda believe there is surely an easier way to do it. But if I'd just done it, I'd have been done yonks ago.
Also, a nap sounds very good.
Also, I suspect the whole not eating thing is contributing to my lethargy.
Okay! New plan! Dinner, dishes, spreadsheet, and then I can watch the Tivo and sort receipts.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ok, this is a little weird. Our Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer has released a speech he's giving today. [link] In it, he likens China's economy to Usain Bolt, which, ok; but here's the end quote:
"Let's be blunt and acknowledge the biggest threat to the world's biggest economy are the cranks and crazies that have taken over the Republican Party."
I... actually agree with him entirely, and have pontificated on this to my workmates on occasion, but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with my government dissing yours so openly. I don't see it making diplomatic relations any easier.
