I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Have just discovered that my brother's girlfriend is on Dreamwidth, somewhere. Worlds colliding. Do not especially want.

I mean, Dreamwidth doesn't necessarily equal fandom, but there's a more than zero chance.

I have a cousin who I don't otherwise interact with who sends me the occasional do you want to lose weight and get healthy messages every 6 months or so. She sells shakes and works as a personal trainer. She constantly posts about how perfect her life is.

Guess who got their first ever speeding ticket today?

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

Maria hit Dominica as a cat 5.

I saw this and did a double take. I wouldn't hit Dominica, because I like her. (Yes, I know someone named Dominica.)

I hope my namesake hurricane gets her shit together by falling apart. The islands need a little grace right now.

Ugh, Mr. flea. You've had MONTHS.

Consuela, the physical act of mourning someone's passing through funerals, etc. (especially dealing with other mourners) is fucking exhausting on the family. I'm sorry that you all have to experience it again. Please rest and take care of yourself.

A new Nazi getting punched video has brightened my day considerably.

(One punch! Batman would be proud!)

Ugh, flea. That is so very annoying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like some kind of gold start for not waking him up and shouting at him.

Would you take jewels in your crown in heaven?

Guess who got their first ever speeding ticket today?

Surely not ltc??

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

I'm sorry, flea. Many stars of various colours for you. On the upside you have earwormed me with "re-frig-erator, why is it always sooner or later" which is a pleasant side effect.

On a renovation note: I've been idly contemplating getting hardwood put in my upstairs (the main floor kitchen/living room are hardwood but the stairs/hall/bedrooms are carpeted). I don't currently have a roommate so now might be the best time?? But I have no idea how much it would cost or what anpain it would be. Also I really don't want the same look as my main room (I dislike the warm honey oak type color) but then it would be weird that they clash, right??

Avoid the Samsungs, Flea.

Have just discovered that my brother's girlfriend is on Dreamwidth, somewhere. Worlds colliding. Do not especially want.

Huh.

If we lived in some sort of fandom comedy world, she'd totally be in fandom and also you'd be assigned each other for Yuletide.

Or you already know each other, you just don't know you know each other!

Also, I have mentioned here the discovery that someone I worked with for over half a decade turned out to have been a long-time lurker here? And someone you NEVER want to play poker with, apparently? Worlds colliding is just damn weird, but hey, at least there's someone I know from outside of fandom who can't stand Aja to an extent that may even exceed my own dislike!
