Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

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

I just used "Don't start none, won't be none." in a work email.

Busted, but I always cite Ancient Tibetan philosophers.

Who are these people?

They are called commenters. They are on the internet. And no, they're not pretty.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I just discovered a solid mass below my ribcage. It seems to be a "muscle". Anyone have any experience with this condition?

They are made of pain.

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

April 15th really only applies if you owe taxes.

And even then you can pay an estimate and file the actual taxes later. Er, not that I would have first hand knowledge or anything. Er. Which is to say, don't worry Dana, right there with you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband, somewhat wistfully: "Maybe it's time for an accountant next year."

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

Colin's girlfriend is a tax accountant. I think I might as well pay her, except I'd feel like a FOAF is going through my dirty underwear.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh what, like Colin doesn't know about your dirty underwear? I mean, metaphorically speaking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow, sumi! That's nuts.

Honestly, Dana, you're not failing -- you're doing it!

I went to see my father after work (my mother had gone earlier), and was rewarded by the most magical bus timing ever -- two buses, right there when I wanted them! Also, there is a nursing home we liked that is ready for him to move in on Thursday. My mother's still going to see about a slightly more convenient one tomorrow, but this is good! She's a little upset and said, "It just seems so sudden." I said, "It's always sudden." Which is just true, in so many situations.

Colin has dirtied my underwear metaphorically speaking. I like his girlfriend a lot, and came to be comfortable with her quickly, but we still technically haven't known each other long.

Because books.

She's a little upset and said, "It just seems so sudden." I said, "It's always sudden." Which is just true, in so many situations.

It really is.

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

Which is just true, in so many situations.

A good thing to be able to remember.

They are called commenters. They are on the internet. And no, they're not pretty.

I was not expecting that, and it is perfect.

My taxes are mailed, hooray! The post office was not a madhouse, at all.

I'm so glad I took tomorrow off, even if I am not going to the Seder that I ostensibly took it off for. Another night of Jell-o and obligatory matzo for me.
