I don't know why I even make plans. I have done no laundry. I did run the mower over the lawn (to no visible effect, but, whatever, I know I did it) and have some more meals in my larder and slightly fewer dirty dishes, so not a total productivity fail.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

I had a fantastic weekend. One of the ARP gals invited 4 of us up to her cabin for a girls weekend. Wine, good food and just talking about everything under the sun. It was so restful and a needed break.
Her cabin is huge - 3 floors, 4 bedrooms, all the amenities, a wrap around deck/porch...very comfortable. They just rebuilt after losing the previous house in last year's fires.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it a trope with only two known instances? Otherwise I'd say the FF scene was an homage to B7
The trope is described as "accidental aiming" and is defined as when a person makes a difficult shot, and then admit they were trying for something entirely different. My position is that having the same narrative setup and the same line of dialogue is not an "accidental aiming" trope. It would be a tripe with an immutable punchline, a trope of A is held hostage by B who is disarmed by C who was actually trying to kill them--immutable dialogue ensues.
I think that's too precise for a trope. Fits homage better.

Got home from the pool and raked and bagged up 3 bags of leaves. Well, technically 2 & 3/4. But the 2 were really full. Took only an hour. In the dark.
Loki is freaking obsessed with my enamel kettle today. It's getting shoved all over the stove and I keep expecting a crash. I have no idea what his problem is, he's gotten outside time today!

I mean, the little freak is seriously blissed out purring and rubbing all over the handle. IDEK.

We also used tinfoil, obviously.
Obvi!

My brother is taunting me with on fb the news that that PJ grabbed his butt in Target so he got to yell out "I don't know who you are lady- why did you just grab my butt?!" Oh, and he apparently made an offer on a house. And we just talked last night, about house hunting! So they must've finally seen something they both liked.
Typical Josh.

The kitchen cabinets are ooky (they remind me of the stain in a heavy smoker's house) but other than that, the house is really interesting.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If I get this [link] for my nephew everyone will hate me, right? Except Grandpa. Grandpa will be highly amused. I may just get it anyway.
