I clean because I don't want CSI to judge me when I'm dead

OK weather, you seriously need to calm down. Between the tornadoes and earthquakes and floods and, well, everything else. I'm starting to feel like we're flees that the earth is trying to shake off.

The wind was getting nasty yesterday, so I decided to turn off the computer. But before I could even say goodbye to the people I was chatting with the power went out. The power goes out a lot in St. Marys so I wasn't really worried. But the storm was pretty heavy so I called mom to have HER check the weather. It was pretty nasty. She advised me to go hide in the bathtub with a flashlight and a pillow.

Five minutes later Mom calls back...
Mom: Are you in the bathtub?
Me: No.
Mom: Aaaann!
Me: It's dirty! I don't want ring around the pillow.
Mom: Well go scrub it out.
Me: I'm not scrubbing it out in the middle of a thunderstorm!

And then the power came back and the storm stopped almost completely. Yay!

I clean because I don't want Dr House to judge me when I get a mysterious illness. ^^;

yes, exactly! they're going to link my mysterious death back to lead-paint painted anime figurines or doujinshi collection and then I'm just going to end up being the freaky subculture of the week on CSI.

HA.

Oh man, the thought did occur to me when I started getting into the doll thing, "I wonder if CSI's covered this yet?".

I have terrible memories of trying to explain furries to my grandfather after that episode. *shudder*

XD You knew the exact episode I had in mind!

(And really, the use of conventions is highly underutilized in the show. the CSI comic book did a great mini-run featuring a Jack the Ripper copycat where the murders all took place during a Ripper enthusiast convention)

I still laugh when the commercials refer to NY as the "grittier" CSI. Bullshit, Grissom's got toys in his closet that would make Gary Sinise cringe.

. . . so tying into this and what I said earlier above, I've been having a hell of a time finding anywhere that sells mohair-on-skin for doll wigs.

I just found out a shop on Berwick Street may have some and I found out through a discussion board on how to sew your own fur suit.

It puts the lotion in the basket!
