I'll go wherever you want. Although maybe I won't say that too many places in public...likely to lead me to a real-life Frandina experience instead of using that alias on the internets.ETA: If you go on the net as "Angela Frandina" four out of ten men think you are a nice and exceedingly confident Catholic girl who uses her real name with the white slavers.Two will drop out when you're not, and of the eight that remain, seven will google and ask "You're not into that are you?" The eighth doesn't have a television.We still talk.

when you thought Jack was dead the first or second time

"Nope, not dead yet. Psych!"

Or he's sort of a Dread Pirate Jack in reverse: "Goodnight, sleep well, I'll likely be dead in the morning."

but pleased at recollecting that the pirate supply store and the taxidermied mouse store are totally friendly.

Also friendly in the same hood (what used to be mine own) Ti Couz!!!!! and Good Vibrations, natch.

Yay, vw! You've been very productive this week! (I need some of that for next week--papers, etc.).

I am amazed and a bit frightened of Captain Jack.

Irritated am I.

I go back to work a week from Monday and haven't lost enough weight to fit into my pre-preg work clothes (I was being unrealistic. I see that now.) So, do I actually BUY work clothes that I'll only wear for the next month or so?? I love shopping and new stuff - this we all know - but this seems like a waste.

Ti Couz is so good! French Onion Soup and lemonade, oh boy. I actually had a crepe there for the first time last year - coudn't finish it because I had to have the soup first. That was DH's neighborhood when I met him.

I have developed the theory that Captain Jack is a spiritually advanced bodhisattva who came back as an immortal fish just to amuse us.

(eta: Bummer, Aimee. Maybe get stuff you can alter down later?

Wow. I feel like my room should be cleaner.

Do not question the worthiness of the room, Lilty, for yea, you have been chosen. He probably likes a little clutter of material possessions after being all aascetic in his past lives.

Aimee, hie thee to a consignment store and pick up a black skirt, a couple pairs of pants, and three-four tops you can mix and match. When you're back in your pre-preg clothes, re-sell the interim things at the consignment shop.
