Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Interesting survey about your circadian rhythms: [link] Mine, unsurprisingly is a definite morning type. It says that given my druthers, my natural wake up time would be around 5:15 AM so to start light therapy then.

That's about right. I get up at 5:00ish without an alarm every day.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Right, but they realize it once Dude walks into the bar. He answered her cheating ad and said to meet him at the bar.

Which puts it one step ahead of "Babooshka", since if I'm reading that song right, they wind up meeting and he still doesn't realise it's his own wife. His sword-wielding, bikini-clad wife, which may admittedly be a little outside of the usual context, but still.

I still want to know what happens if you have sex in the champagne room.

Bubbles in new places!

Also, thanks for all of the surgery ~ma. It went okay. We have to go back in October. There was a pharmacy fuck up due to the new electronic medical record system. But it's been resolved with a mean phone call.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Clorox wipes. One hopes.

My only commentary on the "Escape" exegesis is that until I was 13 I thought the lyric went, "If you like bean enchiladas..."

I really don't. I tried making some a couple of weeks ago and they were much less tasty than I'd hoped.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

"Billy Don't Be a Hero" is on the Top 40 in hell.

I wish my brain would let me become nostalgic for "Sister Goldenhair," but it's my most persistent earworm.

Because books.

until I was 13 I thought the lyric went, "If you like bean enchiladas..."

I am singing it this way forever now.

I want a complete exegesis of "Billy Don't Be a Hero" by COB tomorrow. With footnotes.

Sadly, I could probably do this without irony. And add a sidebar about "The Night Chicago Died."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My most persistent earworm is George M. Cohan's "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy". I am not sure what that says about me.

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

There's a webcomic going around that's Excape++--they're actually having an affair with each other, and she's gotten pregnant despite pretending to be either a boy or Hitler...or something. Looking it up would break my brain, though.

To drive home the point that you've been a fool with your life.
