We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

A Roomba will clean for you!

Plus it's funny when Charlie tries to eat it.

Buying a Roomba is like investing in future cleaning.

Charlie and Bubba vs Roomba will no doubt be comedy gold.

Four Akira Kurosawa movies in two days may be a bit much. They're so good, though. I'll cleanse my palate with Zero Hour and 666 Park Ave tonight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's probably very wrong that my first thought was "what kind of wine goes with dead mice?"

Love this (and the responses).

666 Park Ave

Is that still a thing? I didn't pay attention beyond the pilot.

I drove 6 hours yesterday, watched a production of Hamlet, went out for drinks, tried to sleep (couldn't because it was too quiet), ran around seeing friends, talked with students, watched a presentation and some rehearsal, drove through tourist central to see another friend and then drove 6 hours home. I feel like there was another day in there somewhere.

They're burning it off on Saturday nights. It's not very good, but I kind of enjoy it.

That sounds like several days, yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Goodness, aurelia! That's a lot.

aurelia, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

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

Timelies all!

Another scorcher here in Baltimore.

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

Which of these is best for Lana:

She is wearing a ponytail, which might mean the long one is best, but most of the cosplayers I've looked at haven't copied the ponytail part.

I think the first one. Her hair's half-up, right?

I just took two leftover salads (one lettuce, one farro) and mixed them together for lunch, and a thing I will give the CSA veg is that it lasts FOREVER. When stored properly. This lettuce is at least two weeks old.
