Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Our wings are not tired

Sadly no day off for me, but I did just get back from a week in Northern Ireland, so that's okay.

Yay for boosters! Go invincibility! Well, or at least as close as we can get.

Happy Indigenous People’s’ Day!

Indeed

Punishingly Intricate

Oof, msbelle. I'm glad it sounds like your friend's emergency has passed but that's rough.

I'm home from a week in CA and I guess I have to start job searching for real now?? I had stress dreams about it last night. (I'm sorry I couldn't see everyone while I was out there, btw! I'll just have to come out again soon.)

I do not have today off and only am bitter because all my colleagues in other countries seem to have the day off! (In reality it’s mostly just Spain has two days off, and some of the other folk are on vacation, but it FEELS that it’s everyone)

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

I was fun seeing your pictures of being nearby on FB, lisah! Jobsearch~ma

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

Timelies all!

Gary and I have today off, and we were hoping to have a little time to ourselves while Mr. S was at school. Alas, the behavior issues mean he’s home until a plan is formed. Sigh…

I’ve had my hair dyed pink for about a month now, am getting some compliments and some “oh wow you dyed your hair” which I generally interpret as…not a compliment ;) But had an amusing moment this weekend of having someone walk up to me in the airport who I’d chatted with at the conference, and she was like “yeah I saw your hair from far away and was like I know her!” And for some reason that part is entertaining me. Still not sure what to do with the hair (right now it’s very straw like still, despite attempts at olaplex and deep conditioner) and if I want to keep it pink for a while vs go a different color (I’m thinking light purple).

Which also brings up something I was thinking of the other day—why do we have a specific word for “light red” (pink) and of “light black” (gray) maybe, but not any of the other colors? I mean yeah, I could say “robins egg” or something but I could also say “light (whatever color)”?
