Oh, fucking god, I don't know if you've met racists until you've met all Jamaicans.
Equality is wonderful, call me when we get there.
Damn, Liese. I hope it's as minor as possible.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

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

Dave was running around with the kids at recess today and probably tore his calf muscle.
Ouch! My calf strain (tear between muscle and tendon) hurt like a gunshot. Not that I've been shot. But it was so immediate and sharp.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, he said the pain was like that. Plus he heard a "pop" when it happened. I'm guessing not good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
ION, Matilda is home sick with a fever and a cough. Which sucks because this is her last week of school and it cut into my Toddson time.
Still, I was able to have breakfast with Todd (Zazie, 'natch), and then drove her through GG Park and out to the ocean. We stopped at Green Apple books for a bit, then went to Japantown and poked around some more.
Then I made Todd go to TJ's with me when I got the call about Matilda. JZ collected Matilda from school and after I came home with groceries she tagged out and headed back to work.
Also, we got Emmett's baseball schedule this summer and it will be crazy busy. Though the good part is that it's mostly games and not much practice, so it's just bang bang bang game game game.
He also got his orientation at work so I have the sinking suspicion that I'll be chauffeuring him about quite a bit this summer. (His job is nowhere near any public transit, which I didn't know was possible in the Bay Area, but Alameda is its own fiefdom.)

More hyperbolous? "I felt like I was shot with a rail gun loaded with shurikens!"
A lot of people with strained muscles compare it to getting shot. (I didn't think it was a bullet, but I thought somebody had nailed me with a pellet gun.)
Yeah, he said the pain was like that. Plus he heard a "pop" when it happened. I'm guessing not good.
Yeah, see! Fortunately, it's not a long term problem. Unfortunately, it hurts and is easy to reinjure. You have to baby it for about six weeks.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Shurikens covered with fire ants!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Short recovery~ma to Dave! Hearing a pop is scary.
I'm really sad that I'm pretty sure Minnetonka moccasins are racist, because Casper wants a pair.
This is one of those dilemmas in there are so many "on the other hands" that tie me in mental knots.
- Moccasins appropriate traditional Native American garb, but similar shoes have been made throughout the world. Most Minnetonka moccasins don't have Native-American-inspired beadwork.
- Minnetonka is a Dakota-Sioux place name, so it's not directly co-opting a tribal name.
- It's a family-owned American company.
- The shoes are mostly made in the Dominican Republic.

And you know they won't like that. Gets 'em all riled up, it does. Them's fightin' fire ants.
