No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

That's interesting about the submarines. I am particularly boggled to learn that "first sea lord" is a meaningful term, apparently.

I have been ordering a few things in my size, and the jeans I just tried on are comfortable and a good fit. Now I just need to do a load of laundry so I can wear them while I'm out and about tomorrow running errands and getting a haircut.

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

Timelies all!

Sigh...a local folk-rock band we like was playing an outdoors concert in downtown Bethesda, so we decided to go there and get dinner near the concert site. Alas, Mr. S was totally disregulated, culminating with him running away from us in the parking garage. Seems like he's forgotten how to behave when out to eat.

Ugh, I'm sorry Sheryl. I hope you are able to have a good holiday weekend.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just at a friend's house (!!) for what was supposed to be game night, but we never played any games, but what we did do was tell someone that Naomi Novik is astolat, so a good time was had by all.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

so a good time was had by all.
Often hysterical.
