Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My proposal when I moved to Texas was that I continue to work long-distance. They said, not long-term, only until August 15. That's already been extended once to the end of the fiscal year. They've hired my replacement (someone from my team who is great). But losing someone else on the team is kind of huge, especially with so little notice.
It's messy. And OH MY GOD, the resigning person is such a flake. Who, in her defense, was treated horribly by our insane manager.

Oh, I see. Yeah, that sounds messy.

I think I managed to break my little toe again. Blue, swollen, painful. Ow.

Is it wrong that I find Duck Dynasty sort of delightful?
Next week is the debut of a new hillbilly* reality show set in the hills and hollers just 20 miles west of our huge university campus.
Many people are afraid that it will reflect poorly on our community, but others say that the characters involved have "a lot of heart" and that their spirit will triumph over the crass TV people who intend to exploit them.
- the locals insist that they are not actually hillbillies but are "hilljacks." The distinction evades me.

Ann, that's a ferret.
All sympathies, Jesse and family.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

According to my cousin, a self-identified hillbilly, "hilljacks" are a step below on the rung.

The Duck Dynasty folks seem to be enjoying themselves, anyway. All the way to the bank, one assumes.

I *LOVE* DD. Love it. It's the reason I was sad to see cable go. Si is just ... awesome.

OoooooOOOOH! This explains the crazy police presence when I came out of the Y yesterday, just before 7: [link] I thought it was a little over the top for a car being broken into. 5 cop cars, several plainclothes, people talking intently on phones. And now I know the one non-cryer in that swim class has a parent who is a cop.
