Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

At least there's some kind of upside! Sheesh.

There are a couple silver linings: the only reason Tim switched to second shift was to avoid Covid, so once he's better, he can go back to first shift. And also, I am by god going to go get my hair cut and highlighted as soon as I'm better, because I won't worry about sitting in a salon for too long and getting exposed.

Basically what I'm saying is, we will be BULLETPROOF. [edit] And have PRETTY HAIR.

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

Can we substitute "adequately performing or repressing facial expressions in Zoom meetings" for that instead?

Heh. That is certainly a challenge I am aware of every meeting, not sure how well I succeed.

Painful cough is no fun, Tep. Hooray for good drugs being delivered!

I have spent basically all day doing the part of my job that was supposedly no longer part of my job as of last October and I am salty AF about it

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Niiiice.

As you should be!

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for good drugs. I hope they work quickly.

I have been stabbinated. Got my appointment card for next month too. When I got there I saw a line, but it was maybe a dozen people and it couldn't have been a 5 minute wait before I got my vaccine. Sat around for 15 minutes after to be sure I didn't keel over then drove myself home. (Told DH it was really silly for him to think he had to take me there)

It's a relief. One step in this being history.

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

Timelies all!

Yay for vaccinations!

move out and draw fire

Yay for vaccinations and for monoclonal antibodies and for best cough meds. I got my first shot and have already scheduled work-from-home for the week after the second one...mostly because I can. I don't really expect weird reactions. My sister got hers as well, thankfully.

DARPA is pretty great at acronyms, and the Intelligence Community has a wiki dedicated to helping people navigate through all the mess. My two favorite have been the Secretary of State's Executive (S/EX) and the now-obsolete Directorate of Intelligence, Office for Russia and East Asia (DI/OREA) (which you have to say as a word out loud)

Heh!

Matilda got spoiled for something on her current obsession anime (Promised Neverland) and was literally hopping mad about it. Jumping up and down and whatnot.

And when JZ and I were talking about Histoires du Spoilage I confessed that the very first thing I posted on the Buffy board on TT was a spoiler.

And the very first interaction I had with any other Buffista was Dana posting "My eyes!!!"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was hopping mad that I got spoiled for Tara being killed by IMDB having and end date for the actress.

Our wings are not tired.

I was all about the spoilers and actively sought them out, back in the day. Now, if I hear them fine, but don't make any effort to find them. Most times if I hear them I forget by the time I see the program!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

To the tune of With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm I keep imagining "with his mask tucked underneath his chin". sigh ....
