Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Everybody does that sort of thing, Tom. I left my regular glasses at home last week, which wouldn't have been a problem, except I was out after dark and had to drive home wearing my prescription sunglasses. That was fun!

Which reminds me, I probably need a new prescription. We just had benefits enrollment and I signed up for the vision plan, hopefully I can get a new pair of glasses.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And I once again came to work without my phone. I'm not expecting a call today, so I'll just try to manage without, I guess.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have a problem wherein the use of F in an internet acronym always means fuck. Thus when people tell me they are WFH I am taken aback for a minute

Before I knew what FTW meant, it'd remind me of WTF so I saw it as "Fuck The What?"

People forget things. All the time.

I've lost count of how many expensive umbrellas I've left on trains. Of course I never forget the cheap ones.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I need new glasses badly. I can't see the time on the cable box, my night vision is horrible, and I am getting headaches all the time. I have a pounder now.

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

Best photobomb ever?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get really confused when I hear about losing glasses, because mine are always on my face! (NB: When I was a kid, I thought I could tell if my mother was awake or asleep by her glasses, not her eyelids. Eyes open, no glasses? Probably asleep!)

So, after all my drama (and a coworker driving in from the suburbs specifically for the meeting), we couldn't get the phone connection. Wah-wah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What's amazing about the photobomb is that the Queen is smiling, which you pretty much never see. We must have been very amused, indeed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm having a maintenance guy fix my garbage disposal, which jammed up Tuesday night when I wasn't quick enough on the switch after hearing it make a loud grinding noise. Turns out my cats had used it as the goal for a game of soccer with a Bic lighter as the ball; I was only able to fish out the plastic part.

In completely unrelated news, the vet just called to tell me Jackson is recovering nicely after being neutered this morning.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's a little harsh for kicking around a lighter. But glad he's doing well.
