Argh, Sheryl, that does sound frustrating.
Hee, aurelia. I have some old lyric snippets that are like that. I'm all...I have no idea? I seemed to feel pretty strongly about whatever it was, though.
You're a bloody puppet! You're a wee little puppet man!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

CJ got to man a firehose for the first time today. There was a massive house fire, totally gutting the house, with multiple trucks responding. He didn't get to fight the fire though, just wash down the other hoses, but he was excited.
Seems that the fire was started by a gardner with cigarette near a gas lawn mower. At least that is the story CJ came home with. Sucks big time for the residents. I hope the gardner has GOOD insurance.

Oh, man. Considering how today went, I'm not surprised I got a couple of joking "It only gets more difficult from here!" comments when promotions were announced.
So tired. And I need to get to bed early because I'm hitting the midnight premiere of The Avengers tomorrow.

And now I have plans to do dinner and a movie for the next two days.
You're welcome, economy.

Nice to come home to, after a very long long day: Lots and lots of posts, including some by Holli.
Less nice to come home to: A front yard that looks like this: [link]

I've barely taken any vacation this year, so I'm taking Friday off to see The Avengers multiple times. It's basically a nerd holiday, right?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got a ticket to the opening of The Iceman Cometh. Starts at 7pm, ends around 11:30. I may need to take a protein snack.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hey, does anybody remember the British coffee ads that were a hunky actor reading from the classics? "Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin." I don't know if it still exists. I've been pootling around and so far I haven't found it. Anybody?
