Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wow, Jesse, that's unreal.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Real estate is crazy. That's mind-blowing, Jesse.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Also, a dreaming wombat (something from Australia that (probably) won't try to kill you.

Not necessarily! Wombats have been known to kill people who enter their burrows. (Their defence against home invasion is to crush the invader against the roof of their burrow, push-up style. Useful against dingoes.) More commonly, they're one of the worst native animals to hit while driving.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Note - avoid wombats at all costs.

In CJ news, he can now add paid model to his resume. He just did a photo shoot with two of his EMS classmates. The pictures will be used for textbooks, slides, workbooks and other EMS related things.

Once upon a time I was in a math textbook, playing with the unit blocks. As I recall, the picture was 70's-tastic.

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

Respect the wombat's boundaries.

Wasn't there just an article about how it makes financial sense to buy a house in Cleveland or somewhere and spend literally every weekend in Brooklyn, vs. living in NYC?

There was an article recently about how it's cheaper to live in Spain and commute than live in London. [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One of our dogs is a very good (loud) watchdog. He is on the alert for dangerous intruders. Of course, in his mind, "dangerous intruders" includes deliverymen, raccoons, anyone walking their dog on the sidewalk out front and the occasional large windblown leaf.

The other dog is his hype man. Chet will run to the window and bark like mad, while Truman will stay where he's sleeping, but lift his head up and throw a couple of support barks in there, before going back to sleep.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I got to work this morning, only to find a pipe burst and flooded the server room in my building. No network. There is wi-fi in the building, but my work computer just couldn't connect to it. At least our corridor had power.

Real estate is depressing. And I don't even have it bad, I have a place I bought at a good time and I can afford it. But it's no $72k townhouse. Otoh, I love Seattle. The weather today is so nice.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's not bad, Sophia. The meat is a little expensive for what you get and the portions generally a bit small. I use it mostly for things like vegetables and other staples rather than the premade meals. In my experience it's worth it for the convenience. But then you have to understand that in my world it used to take forty five minutes to get to the nearest grocery, so anyone bringing anything to my door twice a month was like unto a deity.
