Complete strangers! They are in one of the other bands playing at the festival this weekend. They seem variously OK, pretty good, and like we might be friends. (There are three of them.)
Lorne: You know what they say about people who need people. Connor: They're the luckiest people in the world. Lorne: You been sneaking peeks at my Streisand collection again, Kiddo? Connor: Just kinda popped out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cool beans!
I see my previous typo/autocorrect and am kind of charmed by the thought of ace murderers. Like, their really good at it? Or something about tennis?

Murderers who can't be distracted by femme fatales or James Bond-wannabes.

So. I'm going through a work reorg, my desk is moving (unrelated to the reorg, so I'll have to move it again), and I've been on the cusp of cancelling or delaying my work trip to Ireland, although it looks like I'm going. All on top of my already Very High level of work stress and the country being a dumpster fire.
I almost forgot to print my itinerary so I could fill out the customs card on the plane, so I'm concerned I'm going to flake out and totally forget something important at home, like my eyeglasses or my passport. Although now that I think about it, I'll be wearing my eyeglasses on the plane, so I'm pretty sure I won't forget those.

Glasses, passport, medication, work computer, badge. Other than that, Dublin has stores. And I bet it has shortbread. I'm dreaming of British shortbread.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for nice complete strangers!
News blackout would have been a good plan, and yet.
I did go and see Peppermint with my sister and friend tonight. We were visualizing Graham, McConnell, Grassley, and a few dozen others as getting their asses kicked by Jennifer Gardner. It maybe served as some stress relief.

True. And I already unearthed the correct plug adapters from the pile o' plug adapters, so I'll probably be fine. I'm working from home tomorrow, so I'll just do laundry tonight and go to bed early.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Killers whose weapon of choice is Nitro-9.

OK, how about an asexual WWI pilot who is also kickass reporter is embroiled in a murder and must investigate to clear his (I suppose her would be a stretch for WWI) name.
Don't pack at all, buy everything there, expense it all, shrift. It's a foolproof plan.
