Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I fucking hate people who schedule 12:00 meetings.

Aw, man. Laura made a point of asking me to come here to wish The Nicest a Happy Birthday yesterday on her actual birthday, and I completely blew it! So...

Happy Birthday +1, msbelle! I wish for you a fabulous year ahead, filled with all kinds of good. May the good you do in the world come back upon you a thousand-fold.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yes, Jen, exactly. On both fronts....

Oh, lordie, I get those. Or the 1130 meeting that goes for an hour. Happens all the time, esp in a nationwide organization, it's impossible to avoid. My one consolation is that I'm on the west coast and I hardly ever have any meetings after 3 pm.

I'm off for the long weekend, desperately trying to find a way to ignore the inauguration on Monday. Maybe I will just binge the Pottery Throwdown, but in order to do that I need to get more seasons, I was only able to find 2 seasons on the bay of pirates.

I’m going with friends to a double feature movie on Monday. I’m gonna out for late breakfast before.

I'm just going to stay home and not watch or read any news. We live far enough out that there will be zero impact on traffic.

Hope everything went smoothly yesterday, msbelle, and that you were able to have some birthday goodness.

And, Laura, when you can screen again, I hope your eye surgery went well!

Biopsy was uneventful. Felt fine yesterday. Today I felt some soreness while driving (I steer it seems mostly with my left arm).

Thanks.

Punishingly Intricate

Huzzah for uneventful!

At my current job, and my last one, we really have to stack meetings in the middle of the day because we have people on both coasts.

It me! There’s just no way around it with all the calendars and time zones.

But if I recall you’re mostly dealing with local folks, yeah? F them
