No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

TCG has a three day weekend. No plans so far.

We have a 3 day weekend. We plan to go to the zoo and see their new manatee, build a bedside table, and pick up trash as our own personal MLK Jr. Day of Service. And watch the inauguration on TV.

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

Beverly, I'd appreciate the wedding pics, if you could, to my profile address.

Scrappy, I'm so sorry.

Work has a 3 day weekend, but I do not. I was going to work from home, but I'm rethinking that after today. Working from home listening to my cat wheeze isn't exactly good for my anxiety levels.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Huh. I do have a 3-day. [This means I'm 0 for 2 on remembering/knowing about holidays this year. Somebody remind me when July 4 rolls around.]

Msbelle, that is ouch indeed.

I just got a text from the newlywed cousin--her and her oldest sister have an LA layover tomorrow, so I get to see them! Not celebrate, and no wife, but still. I've seen the young one once since I've been in LA. Once.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have a three day weekend, not that it matters since I've basically been out sick this whole week. But what I will be doing is: installing Pro Tools 10 whoot!

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

I am in the midst of a 5 day weekend (all unpaid, though, so not that exciting). And I have a cold - I am telling myself that my throat and sinuses are irritated by environmental factors and I am not actually sick, it just feels the same as a cold. For some reason, this seems better to me. I am about to try the folk remedy that I just coined of "feed a fever, drown a cold with alcohol", see how that goes. Often worked in college, as I recall.

I'm so sorry, Scrappy. I'm sure you will land on your feet with your usual aplomb, but that's a drag to have to.

No three day weekend for me either. My roommate has gotten used to the government--she was all "how can you not?" And surprised when I said I didn't think I had ever gotten MLK day off
