It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman”. If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers.

ElectraWoman and DynaGirl
So, tonight we watched ElectraWoman and DynaGirl.
…
It was fun, funny, and at times had some great, great jokes.
But it really needed a waaaay tighter script. I dunno if this harkens back to the original, but seriously, it was slow moving. Which is a shame, because like I said, fun and funny.
I think it was worth getting and watching.

This steamer trunk from 1890 converts to a dresser so the traveler doesn’t have to unpack.
#steampunktendencies #steampunk #art #furniture #steamer #1800 #1900I want this.
On the one hand, cool. On the other hand, labeling real Victorian stuff “steampunk” strikes me as wrong. Like, there’s no punk happening, this is literally all steam.

Org Failure
So my theory, such as it was, with setting the training class for 1200-1500 (rather than 1500-1800) was that I would grab lunch before hand. BUT I didn’t count on me actually hauling my ass into the outside to do exercise*, but which mean that because I didn’t get back until 9:30, and I spent 10 minutes faffing around warming down and drinking water… and then I spent another chunk of time trying to work out whether I was going to start baking bread before breakfast or after**, so I didn’t get breakfast until after 10.
Now, were I still back in Brizzle I’d go and grab a yummy but not too big lunch food from Hart’s***. But because I’m not, and I don’t yet know where to get a yummy but not to big lunch food (around here. I could in town, I think).
The only place I know near me that does a decent lunch is Bagel Brothers. They do a yummy bagel, but it’s not really small lunch before CPR training sized.
So today’s lunch shall be a banana, a plum, 3 crackers, a small piece of Welsh cheese, and a Lara bar.
Which is one way for me to lose the few kilos of weight I’d like to lose. But not really ideal.
I perhaps should have thought through the timing of my run a bit more.
* which I did, go me.
** neither, I cleaned the breadmaker and then discovered that we’re too low on yeast. But there were several vacillating moments of “I’m hungry” and “but the bread won’t be ready in time” and “I’m hungry” and then “it won’t be ready in time whatever I do” and “oh, shit, there’s no yeast”.
*** Mmmm. Pastie. -
yall have no idea how much i want my job title to be “federally paid lesbian farmer”
i want nothing more than for federally paid lesbian farmers to invade my town
Well if this is what my tax dollars are going to, I approve.
This sounds like the beginning of a series of rom-coms, and I am down for it.
Do they need more tax money for this? I need this project to be fully funded…
