Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I am now imagining a Giraffic Park scenario

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

I had a feeling I was stealing that phrase from somewhere, but all I could think of was the reference to pygmy Sicilian elephants I saw the other day...

(Thank you, Steph!)

There was just a turkey in my (well, neighbor's) tree. Way up high! A turkey! Pretty sure I've never seen a turkey in person before, so that's exciting to begin wit, but... in a tree! You know the phrase tat immediately came to mind, of course.

Anyway, I saw it fly safely to the ground, so that was good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, good luck with turkeys. They are a total menace around here now!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Holding my thumbs for a good surgery result.

I have surprise cookies! A classmate gave some to my friend Helen - unbeknownst to the classmate, Helen and wheat are generally unmixy - and after thanking her very sweetly and waving good-bye turned to me and said "Take these". Peanut butter AND chocolate chip!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is hard c like K and soft c like s?

From way back in my theatre training, I think the “hard” comes from your throat, where the soft comes from your tongue.

But it is clearly .gif with a hard g!!!!!

Also, good luck Prubs!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, was anyone going to tell me that there was an Electric Company series from 2009 with Lin-Manuel Miranda and Chidi from The Good Place, or was I just supposed to find that out from an internet argument about consonants?
