"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

shrift, I have to ask for my alcohol back.

Oh, share and share alike, I say. And I can say that because the liquor store is across the street from my comics shop, where I'll be heading to soon enough.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

::hiccups::

Now I'm awash in booze! Who's willing to drive me home?

my sister informs me, Ben Affleck's Spanish is better than J-Lo's.

Well, it's better than, but if her spanish is terrible doesn't that make it possible that his is only slightly less terrible.

The $20 for making Ben Affleck less attractive can be paypal'd to me.

J.J.Abrams gives good casting even if he's not so great with arcy story lines.

Anyone in NYC watching the news right now? It looks like a Hellmouth just opened up in Astoria.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Isn't Astoria near the Hellgate?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

doesn't that make it possible that his is only slightly less terrible.

My sister is a huge language snob. She doesn't allow for gradations of terrible. Quantum improvements only. Something about a couple years living in a Latin country.

Oh then, cancel my $20 for descalating (wrong word, but you know) the BA esteem.

Howabout this instead to descalate? I don't understand how he goes from slobby and bloaty one day to almost good looking the next. Barring abuse of alcohol, what could make that be so?

Jessica, what's going on?

Edit: She read my mind.

Good point! No wonder their water main broke so spectacularly. (Water levels are almost covering small houses in a 5-block radius. I'm hoping my co-worker who moved yesterday isn't in a ground-floor apartment...)

[HUGE water-main break, Maria. Nothing online about it yet that I can find, but it looks pretty bad.]

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I've learned how to say "I know what you just said" in Spanish pretty well. And my Spanish-speaking kids perk up and say "Que?" and I have to go back to the lesson to keep up the pretense that I know all the bad things they're saying in Spanish.

Keeps me on my toes, and I'm trying to add more phrases to my Spanish lexicon. I figure if my ESl kids have to read 450 year old English plays, I can tack on a couple of hundred words and useful sentences.
