I'm in Stowe VT, accompanying my friend to her timeshare for the week. Bucolic as hell, and the rain seems to be giving way to patches of blue in the cloudy sky. Life is sucking a little less at the moment.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's an Australia one with a Scottish woman who wants to be a model -- and is trying to pose seductively in every single shot. It's bananas. That one?
No, but that sounds amazing.

Ooh, that sounds lovely, Theo. Yay vacation!
I had a good sleep last night, and may not leave the house today, even though it is lovely outside.

The pot of tea I had isn’t working. I drank it, but my apartment is still filthy, and I’m still not packed.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Definitely defective tea.
I don't understand my sleep patterns - yesterday I woke up at 4 am, not in an insomniac way, just like I had slept enough and, hey, why not get up and start the day? Of course, by evening I felt like I had been awake forever, so I went to bed early and dropped off to sleep quickly.
This morning I "slept in" until after 6 but still feel tired and groggy. I don't get it.
Enjoy VT, Theo, that sounds great!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My apartment is pet sitter clean (less clean than relatives visiting, more clean than every day), and I am packed and almost ready to go, which is good, since I have to leave in less than an hour.
Less than a week to Scola! Wheeeee

That's a terrible pot of tea, Tom. Tell it you expect better.
-t, perhaps you and I are on some sort of sleep-sharing plan. Yesterday night I slept for 12 hours, didn't get up until 11:30AM. Still felt kinda crappy. Last night I decided to do a 5k this morning, set my alarm, was unsure whether I'd still be wanting to do it when that went off. Instead, I woke up at 6:30AM (45 minutes before the alarm!) and decided I was awake enough to get up and get going and make a real breakfast (poached egg with toast). This is very bizarre for me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
For the first time in a while, I'm having a lazy Sunday. We need to get groceries, but other than that, nothing on my agenda.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Save the badger badger badger...
Jonti Picking's badgers are set to the music of Brian May and Brian Blessed in protest over a government-sponsored badger cull in Britain. The reason for the cull is to protect cows from bovine tuberculosis. Team Badger advocates vaccinating cows instead. The song has become a bona fide hit.
