Today's the Day for Frustrated Farmers

Helen's prepared for Old Farmer's Day, although perhaps Trent would be a better choice. He was suggested as the most likely candidate to become a farmer that gets paid not to grow anything.

Today is also Moment of Frustration Day, which I'm sure Mr. DeMartino will be celebrating. Many times. Every day. For the rest of his life.

Fanfic Update!

• Big Sister Is Watching You, by abe (part 1): "When it comes to seeking a summer job, the wages of procrastination are embarrassment, vexation, and a significant chance of chaos or calamity — at least if one's mother is Helen Morgendorffer."


• Daria (and other characters) on the Defiant Round Robin, by EntrancedCat and Kuriamo22 (parts 37 and 38): "Daria sat in the bridge chair and pinched the bridge of her nose for the thousandth time since ending up on the Defiant. She considered withdrawing her order that the ship's replicators not make any alcoholic drinks or other psychoactive substances except tea and coffee." (Part 38 by Kuriamo22)


• Daria Ravenclaw: No Country For Unpleasant Old Men, by Meester_Lee (part 2c): "'Are we there yet?' asked Kreacher. 'No, we have several hours to go,' said Iago, looking at his watch. About an hour out of Britain, the cabin attendant announced that they'd have in-flight entertainment."
