Woo! Grabs comfy chair, and proceeds to get back to work.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Since the trip to Ecuador is in 8 days, I really need to sit down and finish planning the logistics. At this point, it's basically figuring out what I'm packing, calling my credit card company, getting enough small change for tipping, and when I need to start taking meds for elevation sickness and malaria.

I have found massive pre-trip hydrating is wonderful for preventing elevation sickness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Batman *could* natter, but only under an alias.
Question--if you open the door to your house and it sounds like maybe someone's in there, or something's up, what's the time/distance to your first effective weapon, and what weapon in it. (Just creeped myself out watching the law show with David Tennant --or rather they did the creeping. Fuck.)
A crush from MI got back in touch with me (the one that was in high school when we started "platonically dating" (no one believed nothing was going on with us, even his best friend, the asshole). And now my text messaging is going off like fireworks. Plus I reached out to the krav friend who works where I'm interviewing tomorrow just in case I could get some juice, but unfortunately he doesn't know anything about the position.

Ha! Now I went back and read bureaublahblah and I actually get the title, but I worked wonderfully well with no context at all. Gosh, I do enjoy you people. Wish I could be around Natter more.

The knife drawer is right next to the front door. I'd rather something club-like, but there's just no room in that hall.

Hmmmm, my first make-shift weapon would be the small table that is by the door, easy to brush off anything on it and weild it like the lion tamers of old. A little further into the apartment, I could grab broom/mop/iron out of the laundry closet. For a house that actually contains a few classic weapons, none are near the front door.

I have a fire extinguisher right next to the door. I could spray someone in the face or hit them with the can. Everything else is on the other side of the apartment.
