I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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.

Consuela, can you quick change into your Star Fleet uniform?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, ages ago (okay, several years) when I went to Italy with a group of fannish friends, I rented a cellphone for the group. I can look up that information for you if you want, though I'd be surprised if there isn't a better way these days.

Ha! My good friend Janni Lee got to write a guest episode for Zombies Run: [link]

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

Oh, cool!

Looks like I am getting two bunnies. Just a question of exactly when I can be ready for them...

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

I had an epic bad night last night. First dream my workplace turned into a shady Good Wife and I was being assessed by the execs for some gig that had to be done off the books. Second half of the night was watching a "ghetto" sitcom where the lead was a mix between Dice Clay and Kevin Henry and it had animated bestiality jokes.

I think my teeth were grit all night, and now I'm falling asleep at my desk. There's this weird quality the sound gets just as I realise my eyes are closing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bunnies! That's fun.

Ugh, ita.

Ugh, Consuela.

I'm going to be out of town next week, when my father will be moving to a nursing home and it's my mother's birthday, so I told her I'd help think of fun things for her to do. I've got to remember to send flowers, at least. And I'm making a list of her friends to reach out to. Also mani/pedi, movies. What else?

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

I decided to wake up by reviewing my sister's paper on the lay understanding of sickle cell disease in Jamaica (the first on the topic), and it worked--except I had to print it out to get going. I feel like a traitor. It's the Galaxy Note that makes me writey writey.

I don't feel qualified to review it, since I think all the errors I find are because of me, not them. It is a dicey place, psychologically.

HA HA HA HA online tax site is "down for maintenance". No rush, tax site. No fucking rush.

My taxes are filed, woohoo! And I'm getting refunds, which is always nice.

Not meaning to gloat, Dana.

Fun thing brainstorming: lunch out, shopping of some kind, afternoon tea, massage, local touristy thing she never does because she lives there, flower arranging class, random train ride

Ooh, thanks!
