I would guess a cockatoo would put ona aggressive display before going for your eyes. Good luck getting home from your niecely duties, Theo.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Have the day off. Need to make a grocery run and wash jeans. Yay my exciting life.

I also have the day off, which is good, because I seem to be a little hungover after last night's Dinner and Downton. (Which is just me and my friend Lauren, but hey. Pork Tenderloin with cider and figs way more fancy than I normally cook.)I blame how long it took to ahem the ep.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Darn. One of my favorite and most competent (hence, favorite) coworkers just told me she's leaving for another job.
Half my office (including my entire command chain, all the way up to the CEO) is out of the office today. Time for a coup?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I just looked at the clock at the most magical of times: 11:11 on 11/11.
Relatedly, my friend who lives in France was telling me about being surprised that her friend who lives in Italy doesn't have a holiday today -- right, because they were Not On Our Side at that point.

Italy did fight for the allies during WWI. (Not very well). [link]

Then never mind! It's inexplicable.
brenda, I meant there's no national holiday on 11/11 -- I mean, I'm at work, but I won't be getting mail.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The Holiday with no day off. BAH!
I am being fairly productive today though. My strategy is to pick up something on my desk and do whatever is needed to get it off my desk. So received on invoices, scanned to A/P and filed. Filled out return forms for returns, copied and filed. I am quickly getting to the pile of things that are not so clear what to do with. Still, if I get that pile down at all - I PROCLAIM VICTORY!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've had the bottle of Brasso setting on my counter for, literally, months, slowly accumulating stuff that needed Brasso-ing. So yesterday I reclaimed an old, grody brass dragon stand for my gazing ball. Once clean, but left with sufficient patina, I discovered it's bent. But it does do the job, so I'll survey the assemblage with my head at a slight tilt--see there? Fixed. Also two pairs of fiddly earrings with dangly bits and beads, and a pewter ogham pendant.
I did not, however, assay the forest of brass candlesticks. Nor will I, until I have display space for them.
