Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S decided he wanted a pet RIGHT NOW. First he said a fish, now he says a hamster. Either way, we need to set up appropriate living environs before the actual critter comes home. Gary will be away on a business trip from tomorrow to Wed. night(and Mr. S will be with the nanny) so the last plan I heard was for them to get a cage and other stuff for the hamster today, then bring the hamster home Thursday.

We'll see how much of the work of taking care of the hamster Mr. S will do...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Sheryl, are you sure it's a good idea to get him a pet, especially on a whim? They're a big responsibility for a kid, and, even if you guys take over care of it, are you confident it would be safe from his tantrums?

Yeah, that sounds like it could end rather traumatically for everyone. Hopefully not.

I wasn’t super smart to plan to take a flight home from my dance weekend that left at nearly 9pm. But then it also was delayed. So I’ll get home after midnight. And in the morning have to go pick up my dog from my friend who has him, and make sure the house is clean enough for the cleaners, and be ready to work by 8am. Eek. Am so sleepy. (Typing to you from the plane which still always feels like The Future). Did generally have a good time though (Friday night wasn’t great but I got over it)

Our wings are not tired.

Today we celebrate lisah's birthday!! I hope that the day is filled with delight and that the year to come goes down in the record books as one of the best.

Our wings are not tired.

black coffee:

I had a most peculiar dream. Many of my dreams are social with parties and gatherings of people known and unknown. This one may have been going in that direction. I was taking my elderly neighbor to the symphony. We were dressed up fancy and she walked over to my house so I could drive us there. Brendon had my Tesla and I had an ancient Jag that I owned decades ago. She got in the car and I put it in reverse out of the driveway. Then I couldn't get it in drive. The dash display glass was cloudy and I couldn't see the gear selections and I couldn't remember the order. I found park and reverse but not drive. Eventually I got it in a low gear and back in the driveway but had to call a cab because I couldn't remember how to drive a regular car. I woke up at this point and don't know if we got there on time.

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

Happy birthday lisah!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Happy birthday lisah!
