Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

Not in New Orleans!

Or if you're the Joker. But I'm traditionally extremely conservative colour mixing wise, so for me, it's definitely a "crime".

I'm officially banned from the mirror and any other self-portraits for at least today since I suddenly feel gaunt and it's freaking me out.

But on the plus side, you have a lovely subject to photograpy, ita.

You are very kind.

Turns out, my hs chem teacher's husband? Is over at Wallops for the launch. He's with Orbital, one of the companies involved.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

My new (and once long ago) co-worker brought her dog to work today - it looks like someone crossed a border collie with a mop!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That's no crime; they're nice, deep colors and complement each other.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yipes Steph! Definitely sending much ~ma Tim's way.

Steph, I hope they pack him up, he stops leaking and you get home to sleep. And tell him to lay off the rat poison. It's contraindicated (did I use that word right?)

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

Tim~ma, Tep!

Because books.

I hope he's okay, Steph!

This David Blaine special on ABC is freaking me out. I really don't know how he does this stuff. I thought Harrison Ford was going to cry, he was so astounded.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Poor Tim! Be well! And stop bleeding!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

It's contraindicated (did I use that word right?)

You did indeed!

He's doing the tea-bag trick to see if that slows/stops the bleeding (get a tea bag damp and bite down or hold it on the bleeding spot; tannins in black tea constrict blood vessels, which makes bleeding stop). It seems like it's helping, so hopefully we can avoid the ER.

His periodontist returned my very worried voice mail, and said the tea bag trick is the best thing, and maybe tomorrow Tim will need to come in to get an extra stitch put in. He said it sounds like whatever clot had formed since Friday just got jostled loose; it happens sometimes.

Poor Tim. It's his birthday and we were going to eat cake after SHIELD was over. Not so much now.
