In high school we had one of these whenever a P.E. teacher had to cover an English class for the day.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Having a bit of a trying day with Mr. S. Currently in the kids programming space, where he is making "projects" by cutting up paper, yarn and other supplies, then gluing things to other things.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
silent book club sounds awesome. Especially at a restaurant where there is presumably food and beverages, unlike at the library. If I'm going to settle in for a long read there must be snacks and tea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Silent Book Club looks amazing, and the one near here is my former local bookstore, so what a bummer I don't live or work near there anymore!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
For my long holiday weekend, I got: A low-grade fever! Yay!
It would probably be even worse, except that I took some Advil before I realized I was coming down with a fever.
