On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I think my upstairs neighbors are watching American Horror Story. I can hear the bass line from the opening credits.

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

Lovely cat, indeed. I also vote for Sir Cecil Fancybottom.

Googling cabbage soup gets you borscht? Huh.

Is anyone else still watching Gray's? I think the disaster/soap balance is where I like it, based on the premiere.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wait--this *is* "SESS-il", right? And not "SEE-cil"?

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

I was assuming the latter, since Night Vale. Also, America, to be fair.

For me it hinges on the path taken by Richard. That could go OTT for me. We shall see.

I was getting worried about the screaming of profanities emanating from of the apartments below until a "kick the damn field goal!" was thrown in amongst the string of fucks.

I'm afraid that Cecil reminds me of the seasick sea serpent.

I'm trying to start up mini365 projects again--see how many consecutive days of photos I can stitch together at a time before, you know, spoon issues.

We'll see. I need to learn my way around the new camera.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Cecil Fancypants McGee could work. (and yes, I'm leaning towards the Night Vale pronunciation of Cecil).

I'm going to give it another day or two, and see what sticks or what else comes to mind.

Right now, he's curled up on my lap.

The balance could easily shift, it's an unstable equilibrium at best. I'm assuming the open eyes weren't a fake out, And if that's wrong I'll have to re-evaluate big time. And it's getting to be a lot of kids, I hope they don't get too many plot lines.

Man, I really need to go grocery shopping; my only vegetables are lettuce and carrot tops and the cats are eating dog food.
