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.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Laura, I'm so sorry. Funerals often bring out the best in people... or the worst. I'm sorry it was the latter for you.

move out and draw fire

My brother has been periodically texting me pictures of dogs over the past couple of days

There is actual science that shows that petting a dog or cat (or puppy or kitten) reduces stress...but so does looking at a photo of one.

I use cute animal photos in many of my presentations.

This is why my Twitter feed is about 50% pictures of cute animals.

(This is also why my Tumblr posts are, like, 50% picture of CEvans, sadly.)

So remember that 8:30am meeting that I hoped would be useful? Pete got up at 7am, and TURNED THE ALARM OFF. I totally missed the meeting. ::headdesk::

Zebra footage, man. ZEBRA FOOTAGE.

Anyhow.

Oh, Peev, no! Sorry, Jilli. That's unlike him.

It really is unlike him. Thankfully, it sounds like the meeting was the typical first meeting that was a bunch of waffling and back-and-forth. I'll ask my boss for details when I talk to him later today.

There was a half-grown black cat wandering around the landscaping this morning. The complex is no-pets, so he shouldn't have been there. I wanted to pet him, but that way leads to tears for all concerned. I hope he finds his way back to where he should be.

I hope he's not coming down with the crud or something. Pete doing something un-Pete-like worries me!

So, my oldest kid's school is having a fundraiser tonight - at Chick-fil-a. Do we say something, or just not go? I see that they do them fairly regularly. This school is an IB school and is all about diversity and inclusion, so I'm kind of like, what?
