You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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.

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

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.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Home again, home again. We hit up Buffalo Wild Wings after the laundromat and I had a shot of whiskey. The day got a little better. Came home and the pest report was no live bugs and one dead carcass. We have put the livingroom back together and will work on the rest bit by bit. Soft goods are staying the the garage for the most part.

We are getting way too efficient at the laundromat. I'm doing my taxes this weekend and will hopefully be able to get our own set within a month. I hope.

My bed is made with freshly laundered stuff. So looking forward to crawling in.

Oh, the cats were pretty freaked when we first let them out. I actually couldn't find Noodle when I opened the door. She was hiding between the shower curtain and liner. After some hard core snuggling they seem to be doing ok. No pitiful meowing. Poor punkins.

He doesn't get to touch these baby browns.

He had three Emmys--Buffy, Babylon 5, and I don't remember the third.

Amy, he was the optician first, and I guess he was on good terms with them, because they offered him an extra part, which turned out a little bigger than he'd expected. But, he clearly was a fan, because he remembered Willy's name, as well as Buffy and Xander, and came out and showed me the polaroids of him vamped up after I said something.

Because you know I said something.

And he seemed to recognise Tim's name.

That's great, Suzi!

Hey, ita, did you see my post about topiramate and visual stuff?
