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

I need a photo of the boots HBC was wearing onstage for the Les Miz performance. Anyone with better google-fu want to help me out?

Sorry that I have no -fu to offer, but be it noted that the very moment she walked onstage I turned to megan walker and said, "Jilli needs those boots. Unless she already has them."

I'm quite peeved that Mirror, Mirror didn't win costume design. Come on, Academy! All this totally goofball pretty! These glorious wealthy, titled idiotic eyesores! Human chess pieces wearing these hats with working cannons! Plus, megan pointed out that the designer just died after a miserable battle with pancreatic cancer; even if she couldn't have won for doing utterly fabulous costumes just because they were in a mediocre movie (which, the hell? They've done it before -- she won twenty years ago for Bram Stoker's Dracula), couldn't they have squeezed out a pity Oscar?

Meh, it hardly matters. Even in the fantasy Oscars in my head, that's still the only award that movie won; every other category was swept by Moonrise Kingdom.

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

Well, by Hec's estimation Buster's boring, but I like him, Oedipal issues and all. He means well,, and most of the rest don't/

I'm going to try sleeping with the pulse ox again. It came off at some unknown point last night, and I suspect it will again. I wish I had an easy way to know how much it recorded before I rolled over.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sorry that I have no -fu to offer, but be it noted that the very moment she walked onstage I turned to megan walker and said, "Jilli needs those boots. Unless she already has them."

I turned to my stepmom and said I loved her boots, paused and realized they were Jilli boots. And moved to text because "OMG HBC has your boots!" Hopefully I used fewer ALLCAPS. I'll try to Google now that I am home. Does not help that she changed entirely from her red carpet look (which I loved and would wear immediately) into something difficult to Google.

I hate questions for which I cannot easily Google an answer.

It's at about 1:51 here [link] but it's terrible quality. How can there be this little footage?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

that will not settle the argument Beau and I had, however.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Like bird guides, that's clear but probably won't help me with identification in the wild.

Because books.

I can't watch the video at work, but my dividing line has always been icing, I think. If it's iced (completely, not with a drizzle of something) it's a cupcake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Now I want a cupcake.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Seriously, I have got to be the most suggestible person in the world. It's a good thing there aren't, like, drugs commercials, or I'd be all, mmm, crack, that sounds good...
