Tomorrow I am flying home to Ohio after 3 weeks away. I am hoping we can get there without Peter barfing on the plane like he did on the flight here.

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

On Sunday I have plans to go look at plants and planting accessories with my mom, maybe buy some worms. Right now that seems like too much, but hopefully resting tomorrow will help with that. I have no idea why I am so tired. I've gotten gobs of sleep and really not done very much and yet I am struggling to keep my eyes open until it's time to feed the cats.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I had to explain the cousin generations thing to a bunch of my cousins at a family party last weekend. But people there were mostly either my fourth cousin or my third cousin once removed, so it involved a bunch of drawing diagrams. Then one of the little kids looked at the diagram, and figured out what it was, and wanted to know where he was, and I told him that I'd stopped drawing his branch of the tree at his grandfather because I was just trying to explain the relations, but he didn't like that explanation, so I taped another piece of paper to the bottom to draw him in. He's my fourth cousin once removed.

And yet... somehow your spirit twin.

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

I'm watching the second FF4 movie, and people need to calibrate. When you say Green Lantern was bad...it was not bad like this is bad. The scale needs to clearly distinguish between laughably appalling and "what's in it for me?" So far Chris Evans' performance is barely tolerable, Ioan Gruffud is having a bad day the kind of which gives nadirs nightmares, I can't understand a thing The Thing says, and, well, Alba has mastered standing like a superhero, so she's improved since the first one.

The script (plotting, dialogue) stinks, and it looks like they blew their FX budget in the wrong place, because I'm sure Doug Jones would have looked fine with some body paint--he's got that going on. This is Catwoman bad, as opposed to Ang Lee missing the target with The Hulk.

ita, the first half of your post I thought you were talking about a Fast & Furious movie. The second fourth one, I guess, which, I don't know, there certainly are a lot of them and they get numbered in weird ways.

I have committed Fluevogs. Basic pumps, $99, but I have no business doing this [link] , so much $$ lately, I'm trying to only buy what I truly need.

But I do need new black pumps. And Flues are a sure thing. Waiting for the black or black& red pearl harts to run on sale.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The dude is away and I'm just getting over a horrible cold, so my plans for the weekend are---nothing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

But I do need new black pumps. And Flues are a sure thing.

That's a gorgeous heel shape. And I love the rounded toe.

SERIOUSLY. Also? Galactus? NOT A CLOUD.

Flues generally have generous toe boxes, which suit me well as I have flipper feet (narrow heels, wide ball.) Some don't but I've learned to eyeball it-they are consistent. One of the few shoes I trust to buy without trying on.

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

I am not allowed to buy any more shoes. I am not allowed to buy any more shoes. I am not allowed to buy any more shoes.

I really need to spend the weekend cleaning all the things. And buy cat food. That might be too much excitement though, so I will have to recuperate in the hammock some.
