All the way from The Age of Innocence.
You mean The Buccaneers: [link]? Because oh YEAH.
Man, I really confused my Edith Wharton there. And I even own The Buccaneers (on VHS!), so I should know better. But, anyway, OH YES.
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!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I return and report from eye surgery! I have a honking huge bandage on the right side of my face with a metal cover over the eye. I'm ready for my Mad Max cameo. It goes away tomorrow, yay.
So, when they say you'll be sedated and you won't care what happens? They lie. It didn't hurt, but I cared a whole lot about being fully conscious and aware of what was going on in my eyeball. I even had to interact.
I won't go into details about the procedure. If any of you have issues with things in your eyes above basic health and safety issues? Pray you never have this surgery.
But it went beautifully, it just aches, and mono-vision is freaky as hell. I'm going to go to bed, put on my c-pap, and read fic until the nappiness takes me. I'm supposed to be under care of an adult for 24 hours, so I'm counting you folk. But I feel terrific.

Thanks for checking in, Connie. I'm glad things went well, if more interactively than expected.

Rest up, Connie, and thanks for checking in.

Yay, Connie!
I just had an eye exam so my eyes are still all teary, so my sympathy is sharp and extra-fresh.

Because books.
And I even own The Buccaneers (on VHS!)
It's so good! I watch it every couple of years.

Thank you for checking in, Connie. I'm glad it went smoothly.
You know who does nothing for me but I feel should? Chris Hemsworth.
He shouldn't do anything for me, because I usually don't go for Big and Blond, but wow. I am very, very appreciative of his existence.

Me, too! Never watch the version on Hulu, though, because they cut out a lot.
