Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Someone just ended an email with, "Let me know if their is anything else I can do for you." Why yes, yes there is!

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

Good theory, 'Suela. That was pretty sad.

Because books.

He sees me eating a banana and jumps up on furniture to meow at me at close range (note there is plenty of food in his dish), then recoils like I've maced him when I let him sniff the thing.

The friend I was living with last year had a cat who LOVED bananas. He would sit up at attention and beg for little pieces.

Mine's eaten a tiny piece of lettuce with Caesar dressing on it, but normally I can wave a bit of salad under his nose to get him to give up on the mealtime begging. I think nacho Doritos are the weirdest flavor that he's actually willing to eat.

I'm still completely mystified by both of them treating chunks of quality steak as toys rather than food, though. You throw impatient hissyfits while I'm cooking it, how do you not recognize it when I put it in your food dish?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My late cat was totally into Doritos. My current cat is obsessed with ice cream, but is willing to lick pretty much anything off my plate (after I'm done!).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband has second interview with Idaho (still by phone). shrift has brought to my attention that if this works out, my life is going to be full of potato-related humor.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My late Mr. Kitty loved broccoli (he once took some right out of the pan I was cooking in) and LOVED corn on the cob.

I've now gotten two recurring meeting requests, one at 5am and one at 6am. Fuck that noise. Sadly the 5am one is a company-wide training and I am just going to remain untrained. The 6am I emailed the organizer and was like "are you serious?" And he claimed he'd change it...but he hasn't, yet.

I'm thankful my company's founder is, like me, Not a Morning Person. And the president who was retired a few years ago, so all our important meetings are now mid-morning or later unless they're organized by clients rather than us.

I may grumble about last-minute changes reaching my desk at the end of the day, but at least I have the mental wherewithal to handle them then, unlike stuff hitting me first thing in the morning.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

fuck that noise is right, meara, yipes!

I am going to serve lunch to the faculty and staff at the middle school tomorrow. These teacher appreciation things always feel like the right thing to do mostly because I know how thankless teaching can be at times.
