I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

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

Oh, right, that was my justification for waiting to see Catching Fire until Mockingjay was getting ready to come out. Maybe I will stick to that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My getting dressed consisted of Wonder Woman/Supergirl/Batgirl comics print pyjama pants and a black hoodie.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Divergent - found it on imdb. Did anyone read the book? good?

It's a trilogy, and I liked the first 2 quite a bit. The third had some problems.

I got dressed three times today (to go to the pool, to come home and live and then for a hike).

My waterproof iPod died and even though I have done a factor reset it still hates me. So I ordered a sony waterproof walkman and we'll hope for the best. All of my music players have been apple for a decade so this should be weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just excited I finally figured out that was Mr. Pamuk in the Divergent trailer.

After another hour or so of scraping the walls, am exhausted. Also I think one of the walls I didn't do is about to come down, so we may end up bringing in the pros anyway. And by "we," I mean my mother.

I pulled the last of the copper pipe I couldn't get last time. And got ancient dust in my eyes.

Pumpkin is a heat fiend. She's not only tucked tight against the gap between the radiator enclosure and the wall (enclosure is designed to direct air more into the room rather than straight up, but in the wall gap, it rises) she's got all four pads tucked into the gap, one front leg fully in. She'd make an effective draft-stopper, as tiny as she it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I loved divergent. I thought insurgent was even stronger. I haven't read the third, it is currently staring at me

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ended up going to the library yesterday. It's not that I'm out of books here, it's that I've been looking at the TBR bookcase and going 'meh".

Because books.

The apple pie cake is seriously dangerous. As in, I could eat the whole thing right now. So good! And aside from peeling/slicing the apples, which is just tedious, so easy!

Jesse's mention of Mr. Pamuk reminds me I have to watch last week's Downton Abbey before tonight. Bad fan.

I need to just accept that when I have nothing big planned for the day, except optional stuff, get-to-the-pool-first-thing is just NOT going to happen. I'll go at my usual time. Multiple failed wakeups starting at 5 am don't help either. Interspersed with ikea-hack dreams that got seriously creepy. Uhg.

So I'll just go buy icyhot (not icthyot, Kat) and juice.
