Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I so don't understand the tenacity of birtherism. Every bit of evidence that's reported is either ignored or chalked up to a conspiracy. I've had multiple arguments about it, and they tend to stop arguing (but never actually admit defeat) when I bring up the birth announcements in the two local papers in Hawaii. (Though I suppose some people will argue the microfiche is faked, too.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The explanation is racism.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been to the Dr's about my knee and he thinks that I have torn my meniscus. He thinks (based on how much better it has gotten) that it will heal, but I am to call immediately if the leg starts buckling again.

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

Yay on the whole "knee not being as bad as it could have been" thing, Sophia!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Kalshane, that's just what they want you to think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Onerous task completed: Went back into my uni's Open Enrollment, put enough in our health FSA to cover the large down payment on Matilda's 2013 dental work plus regular MD visit copays and a small cushion for emergencies, adjusted the day care FSA to reflect the school's aftercare discount program, and ended up $2200 ahead for next year even after the dental work stuff. I *think* that's enough to make a positive difference in our day-to-day lives but not to screw us over taxwise.

Next up: go to the bank at lunch, get all the acct info for the college savings fund the school district set up for Matilda so my awesome mom can set up a monthly direct deposit.

Before the end of the day: Complete draft of a professional association rec letter I'm ghostwriting for the new boss.

Hooray for a firm diagnosis, good healing so far and a good prognosis, Sophia!

Refinance~ma to Kalshane.

Always Anti-fascist!

My onerous task today is an appeal-related doctor's appointment.

There's a blow dry bar opening near my work. I had to google to find out what that was.

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 made an appointment for a haircut. And they had an opening at 4! But that part's not onerous.

Oh, I went to the dentist today. That was fairly onerous.

I am tired and I have a cold, so making it through work will be my other onerous task.
