This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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

I just turned on the TV to FX and Buffy is telling Giles she slept with Spike and they're breaking down into giggles. I stared, mouth agape, for a few minutes, and then realised if I hurried, I could see if they were showing eps back to back, because the end of the previous ep...but now Spike is fighting for his soul, Buffy and Willow are going mano a mano...

Wow, the stunt doubling is pretty awful here. Damned shame.

Anyway, wait for it..."I'd like to test that theory..."

Booyah! Flashback complete and crowned.

My family gifting is just me and my sister giving gifts to each other and my parents. Sometimes they pay for a hotel stay for us, sometimes they don't give us anything. My sister's particular specialty is giving delights from far off lands, and I like making her cry. When there are kids and other family members who are coming by, my sister has taken over from my mother with the tradition of dipping deep into the bag of foreign and pulling small gifts that have been bought as backup on travels (my mother had multiple age group bags from Russia for a couple years, and multiple costs--it was magic, and I wanted most of it for myself).

My headache today is the sort that makes me want to lie down very carefully stationary and breathe quietly. But my doctor has called in a (to date useless) prescription to the pharmacy which means I need to clean up and control a motor vehicle.

I guess I should call in sick. I'm just not sure to whom. I can't get anything done while my eyeballs throb. At least breakfast feels like it will stay down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Kat.

Oh dear, ita. Seriously even a small migraine makes me want to lie down like that, so.

Oh! You guys, at my interview yesterday, I asked how she felt about adding another white woman to the team. I honestly think that will either get me the job or nix me from it, but I had to ask! The office walls are covered with pictures of black people, but everyone I saw working there was white. It creeped me out a little bit.

Our wings are not tired.

Hil, that story is upsetting and amazing and wow.

do the family/friends in question celebrate birthdays?

Not really. And I miss it. I think is one of those things where not having kids or an SO or immediate family just kind of sucks. I love giving presents!! We definitely still give gifts to the kids in the family at Christmas, but the second round of kids is now all grown up.

Thanks for listening!

I'm working in my old office today. It is weird...I'm in an office with a door, which I never had when I worked here. I've chatted with people I used to work with while there is a ton of people I don't know. Just odd as heck.

I'm taking advantage of the door and playing music in here while I work.

OOh, that is a little weird.

My shoulder hurts a lot. I want my painkiller to kick in. I also don't want to do work, and want my messy messy house to magically be cleaned. Y'all can arrange all that, right?

The elderly cat is still alive, at least when I saw her two hours ago. I'd better check soon.
