Timelies all!
I'm glad you're ok, Frank.
Yay Scrappy!
Had my annual eye exam today. Pupils are still dilated, so stuff nearby is blurry.(Hopefully my typing isn't any worse than it normally is.)
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old 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.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Yes, the very place I got the time wrong.
Maybe it was like the reason Lou Grant hired Mary Richards:
Did I ever tell you the reason I hired you? A little run. A tiny little run in your stocking on your knee. You kept trying to cover it up. And I thought to myself, "What kind of a girl is this who is so afraid of a thing like that?" Do you think that was a bad reason to hire you?

Because books.
Great news, Scrappy! YAY!

Oh, man. Memories.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's because I have spunk.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I thought you hated spunk?

Spunky inferno!

Lou Grant hates spunk, but I guess the folks at my new job dig it.

Frank, I am so glad to hear you are safe, and so sad that your landlord was not. I wish you all the best dealing with the practical and emotional fallout of the fire.
Go Scrappy go!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Congrats, Scrappy!
Yesterday my mother and I had an extended discussion about the over-focus on men's sexual function (or the under-focus on women's) and it led to the evolutionary what-if of "what if a woman had to orgasm in order to become pregnant?" I'm taking small breaks from work today to try and think through those ramifications, but it keeps coming back to "you were talking about that with MUMMY???" and I start laughing. We have such a sex-free conversation zone unless it's science, and then we can discuss sex until the cows come.
I tried to extend my minimal exercise--on each of the three days I'm in the office I try and walk down ten flights of stairs twice. The second time I decided to walk up one and then down eleven, and that's clearly too much. It's irritating that I can't significantly increase my heart rate, because EXERCISE. But I'd rather be unfit than have extra days of headaches, so.
