Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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

Re: the eyesight correction discussion earlier in the week - I think peripheral vision is never really in sharp focus so wearing glasses instead of contacts shouldn't make it atrophy from disuse, particularly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK. I have dealt with a bunch of paperwork and some bills, and am waiting to see if the cable company will transfer my phone number.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That makes sense, -t.

Okay, I've been more active today than I have been previously, but it's still pretty exhausting. I would like to have the house tidied up by the time the SO gets home on Monday, though. And I should clear up his studio a bit so I can move the Pro Tools rig back in there where it belongs instead of in my office. And I should go through these boxes. And do some data work.

But I might go read Dodger and nap instead.

Trust my rage

One if the things I always stress about is the kids spilling finger nail polish bwell, today it finally happened while Ellie was giving Frisco a pedicure. Sammy got the bottle and in 3 seconds it was everywhere. Amazingly, it was all hard surfaces or skin, with the exception of Sammy's pants (no big deal) and a darling pair of Robeez (baby shoes). The funny part was that I love these shoes and had already lost one and had ordered a replacement pair. So, the shoe is ruined but I already have a replacement handy. Nice to have it work like that.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Devi~ma~Sarameg. I am super impressed that you have been managing to steam a cat. In any way. Impressive, but also sad.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Today's one of those crisp, cold days that I love, so I spent about 2.5 hours rambling around in it. I hit the farmers market for handmade fettuccini and small, intense bulbs of garlic, walked up to the hippie co-op for pretty rainbow chard and other goodies, and spent half an hour with the cat on his leash as he stalked various small beasties. I'm a bit bummed that the snow we got Thursday night didn't last, but this was nice, too.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I once spilled nail polish on a cat.

I have my fingers crossed for Devi. I,too am impressed at steaming a cat.

Our wings are not tired.

That whole series of Eartha pictures is spectacular. But yeah, giving James Dean dancing lessons, oh my.
