Got home from work, and husband is on the phone talking to the job people in ABQ, and the word "relocation" was used.
Please, various and sundry gods, let this be a good thing.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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

Job-ma, Dana.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
RE LO! RE LO!
So the cousins I was shopping out of my skill level with told me I needed to send them a picture of how I wear my new shoes to work.
I'm pretty settled on the basics of the outfit--black and white blouse with cap sleeves, and a black skirt. I don't honestly know which blouse or which skirt, but that's a start--I got a couple directions. But I'm wondering about matchy matchy--I have two (yeah, repetitive wardrobe, but I swear the function for different moods) chokers with purple glass pendants that match the shoe colour pretty well--too much or maybe just enough?
Okay, I blame Joss, but I'm good for the next little while with girl on girl in fantasy shows. WHERE ARE THE MEN????? I swear I just saw the silhouette of a bare, swinging breast. WHERE ARE THE MEN?????
I, you know, just think we should be fair about things.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, husband-of-Dana and Dana!
Here is how fucked up my mind is about the world: A local nanny just got arrested for something terrible, and the local news promo just referred to her as an "illegal immigrant," and I'm weirdly excited because she's Irish.

Trust my rage
Jesse, I would have probably reacted the same way.

This guy is apparently the vampire eye guy. He started with Interview, and as well as Buffy and Angel he does TVD, Teen Wolf, and True Blood. Not sure why he's down the street from my house, but whatevs. It was a pleasant visit, and I've never thought to describe an optician's visit thusly before.
If you ever run into Tyler Hoechlin in the waiting room, be sure to make out with him for me.

I will make out with him for anyone.
Well, except Dylan O'Brien.
I think I just heard the best (or the most recent? I have a hard time telling the diffence sometimes...) networking joke today:
A tcp packet walks in to a bar and says “I want a beer”, barman says “you want a beer?” and tcp packet says “yes, a beer”
But what made it even better was the person who replied ack to it.
And if you're not one of the handful people who got the joke--don't sweat it. It dies in translation.

Because books.
I'm confused -- the optician was in an episode of Buffy, but now he does what for the other shows? Has parts, or make contacts?
It's very cool! I'm just not following completely.

Be really, really glad he wasn’t the optician on Farscape.
