If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Way to be a grown-up, Zen.

There's perks to it. At least I don't hafta ask my mom for money when I wanna go out.

Way to adopt bunnies, -t!

I had a plan to go see a 10AM movie, but no one is texting me back, and I would have to leave....now. So I texted again suggesting a 10:45AM movie (downtown, rather than by the mall), but the plan was to eat breakfast in the movie, and I'm hungry NOW, not at 1045! Hrm.

The status is NOT quo.

That's awesome, -t! How much do you know about bunnies? My dear friend C is a bunny rescuer and an expert, so let me know if you want to email her. The biggest misconceptions she cleared up for me are diet (buns needs fresh veggies and hay every day; pellets are not good for them despite the marketing), bonding (you can bond two bunnies, but it takes a long time and can be bloody--rabbits are extremely territorial, and even if baby buns appear to get along, they may not as they age), and habitat (domestic rabbits need to be inside; they can't regulate their body temp well and can't handle extreme heat or cold).

Here's a link to an organization she works with that has great info about adopting a bunny: [link]

I hope that didn't come across wrong; I'm sharing only because I've learned so much I didn't know from C about adopting a a bunny, and I thought this night be helpful.

I was going to post the Geep link. My guess is that it involves a doubled-gene situation or something, since most die in utero or are stillborn. So that's a lucky little kid-lamb-thingie.

Maybe I could adopt a dwarf goat and claim it was a very odd-looking dog?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Target sometimes has some pretty good deals on clothes, though you've got to put together the printable coupons and the mobile coupons and the Cartwheel mobile app discounts to get the really good ones.

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

Thanks, Pix. I've had a rabbit before and I'm adopting from a vet student who is happy to provide info, so I think I'm good on that front.

Awesome! I love C's bunnies and am so happy you're going to get one.

Oh, and speaking of Target and coupons, if anyone wants to buy any toys, especially Captain America stuff or any of the various Nerf weapons or FurReal Friends things, there are a ton of ways to combine coupons and offers to get them really cheap at Target this week.

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

Why did they cancel Raising Hope? Ratings?

Yes, it was always as low rated show.
