We do like our tea parties, here in Boston
This. I do not even. Can we please throw them into the harbor?
ETA: They're right outside my house. We are under siege. We are so going on a field trip now. It's a good afternoon to visit the aquarium, I think. -
Wanted: One Once and Future King
Spring's unseasonable heat felt oppressive to Ali, hinting at no good thing. The heat clung to her; draped itself over her shoulders and weighed her down. It was making people irritable, impatient, and quick to act. There would be a long summer, Ali knew; a long hot summer in which to wage a longer war ( Read more... ) -
Different Kinds of Decadence
Too many people give words a single definition, refusing to see the myriad other possibilities in life ( Read more... ) -
Oh Samus...
I have something to show you.
Do you think I should hang this up in the mess hall next time we're on a GalFed base? -
Friday 5
What an utterly random set of questions.
1. Which of your country's leaders (past or present) would you like to have a chance to sit down and talk to?Thomas Jefferson. He was a brilliant writer, and forward-thinking, and yet such a hypocrite. I'd love to pick apart his coping mechanisms. The idea of denying love wherever it's found is so ( Read more... ) -
Alicat...with no hat!
It was an odd sight, even for the Labyrinth: a barefoot Ali running through the maze, in an unlikely combination of beat-up old jeans and couture bodice, a hat with long fluffy feathers in one hand. And...is she wearing cat ears ( Read more... ) -
Sneaky sneaky!
It was unusual for Ali to not find Jareth's attention all on her as soon as she stepped into the Labyrinth. Usually it meant he was angry with her about something; he must have thought that she'd be somehow cowed by the long walk to the castle to find him in his throne room. Not that it worked, but he kept trying it on her. Ali tried to spend ( Read more... ) -
St Patrick's Day and a poem
I think that if anyone hands me another green drink, I'm going to be very sick. Also, I think I don't want to see another cabbage for as long as I live. Or at least until next Tuesday.
But! I have written a poem, and aswim in liquid courage as I am, I shall share it.

Obligations
There just wasn't enough time in the day: a common lament. Instead of dwelling on it (and wasting more of the precious resource), Ali tried to stretch it was far as possible. Family, friends, obligations and... where does that all leave her? Wondering why she's caught up with another obsessive man, at the moment; also, on his doorstep. Such as ( Read more... )
