There are no shower facilities on Serenity. That would require way too much water to transport. So they all take sponge baths instead.
My hair is downright silly and will stay that way until this weekend at least. I have kind of a relaxed mohawk-type-thing going on. The catch is, it's been several weeks since it was trimmed, so the sides of my head have about 3/4"-1" of hair, meaning I have weird flat spots in some places and weird spiky spots in others. Which would be bad enough, but I've also got the stripe of 18" long hair down the middle, replete (I'm certain that's a word; I'm not certain I used it properly) with split ends. My hairbrush is afraid. I wore a bandanna all yesterday. My only clothing issues of late have been constituted solely from boredom and ennui. That, and I recently discovered that after being sick for a while, my favorite pair of baggy pants are (is? The item is singular, but the word is plural...) now loose enough that there is considerable risk of them coming off by accident. Woe. There truly isn't much worse than bad coffee. Except for maybe no coffee. Brr.
Did you know that the numerical price for a whatever-they-call-small coffee at Starbucks is the same no matter what country you're in? America, Canada, Australia, Britain. Same number, no matter the exchange rate. Which means coffee is kinda pricey in Britain, but kinda cheap in Canada, with USA somewhere in the middle (I don't know how the Australian dollar relates). Weird, innit?
I have several favorite quotes, some of which are quite amusing. Unfortunately, my mind tends to go completely blank when asked a direct question, so I can't remember them. Ooh! Wait! BUGS BUNNY: "Stop steamin' up my tail! Whaddaya trying to do, wrinkle it?"
One of my goals in life is to use "prestidigitation" in a sentence without it being gratuitous.
Lately I seem to have started writing in an English accent without meaning to.

And the meaning of life is 42. Didn't you know?
