Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So I posted on Craigslist, left a message for Animal Control (closed on Mondays), called a local vet, and plan to call the no-kill shelter when it opens at 10. Hopefully either the vet or the shelter will scan him for a microchip.

Anything else I should do?

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

Is there anywhere near you you can post a sign?

Hmm. I don't think so. Well, I could on our mailboxes, but I don't think this dog belongs to anyone in the complex. And I'm not going to do it in the freezing rain.

God, I hope he has a microchip.

Art Crawl!!!

Dana - you might want to call your local police station too. They may get news of lost dogs there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, doggy. You're good people, Dana.

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

My apartment building has either changed the pet rules, or people (including the apartment manager) are quite brazen. It is dogs and cats up in here. It's weird...what if I moved here in part because there were no pets allowed? I don't remember being informed that the rules had changed. Seems like something worth a mention, even though I'm not about to throw a snit fit--but people with phobias or allergies should get warnings.

Good god, this morning's tea is great.

As is hearing Change Control over the wall saying "ita ! does a very good job with her status--I can just copy and paste from what she reports."

Status reporting is my Achilles heel--you don't even know. I am publicly mocked in front of CIOs for my weakness, my inability to say more than "Stuff. Happened. Kinda like we expected."

I want to grab Change Control and stuff them into my performance evaluation which was way slanted towards the middle of the year (clusterfuck) and light on the beginning (miracle project from hell).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Kevin Clash! [link]

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

Birthday Happies, Jess!

Happy Teacupiversary!

Wow, the number of people in that article saying that he shouldn't have dated the guy at 18...why do I still get irritated by that stuff? I know that's the world. It's not the worst thing the world does, and it won't stop me dating a putative legal teen, but still...irks. Don't like, don't do. But it's legal, so leave it be.

And the people saying that he was totes gay, so...

SO WHAT? SO STATUTORY RAPE?

Right. Comments. On the web. Let me get back to work.

And this tea. Tasty tea.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

What type of tea are you having that is so tasty, ita !?
