Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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

Curling up in a ball is always an option. #Iamnotarolemodel

Can you be a crazy cat person if you also have a dog to go with the cats?

I say yes. Somehow, the black tuxedo kitten who will not be picked up, and a story about how teacup pigs are being abandoned by terrible horrible people has led to me browsing petfinder for rabbits. I feel like Lucy might like this girl [link] or maybe one I could more easily distinguish at a glance [link]

OMG a greyhound/chihuahua mix. No picture, but that sounds like someone Walter would love. The cats would not, of course.

Hey, my insurance info is on my phone. I have $1 million liability coverage. I forget what the reasoning was to get that. In case there were medical bills we'd need to cover? Something like that. Premium is $150/year, which seems pretty reasonable.

Left work only an hour late! Not bad, considering I had all my scheduled-time-off prep to do after I finished testing. Then I realized I could use my pantry inventory to generate a shopping list and go to the farmers' market. So I did that, and stopped at Starbuck's on the way (I am closing in on the Gold Level. I'm not sure what that gets me, but it sounds exciting and it's literally across the street from the park where the stalls are set up) where I realized that I shouldn't generate my shopping list based on the next two weeks' needs, there's a farmers' market next Thursday, after all, so I cut it dow to one week and turned out I did not actually need anything. So I strolled through the market in case anything caught my eye, but nothing did. But I have confidence in my process for next time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greyhound/chihuahua mix -- that sounds like a real crapshoot!

Yeah, that could go a lot of ways. But Walter loooooves greyhounds, and loves small dogs.

I have unwisely drifted into browsing available kittens. The expression on this one [link]

Oh my goodness, this girl sounds like a pretty good fit, unless she'd be unhappy being just with Walter while I'm at work [link]

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Walter and you should go on a road trip and meet my girls.

Greyhound anything sounds dicey with bunnies in the mix.

Got my car rinsed off at the gas station-gonna have to actually scrub it this weekend. 11 days unmoved under the trees left quite a film.

I think I may have conquered my fly problem! I'll know in a week or so. But no more new flies in the basement and the only one today was a smashed one that fell out of the blinds.

I think I need to lighten up my corn consumption. I've been having a corn & tomato salad for lunch every day and it's proving just a wee bit too...efficient, shall we say. But so good & filling.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Corn seems to have a...rapid transit time.

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

I think that constitutes a hostile work environment!

Not being allowed to pick up a tiny kitten? Or the threat of being picked up?

You guys do know that Batboy, the musical is a thing, right? [link]
