You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm a tinch sunburnt myself. But not too badly. The soy lotion is close-ish to helping.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan

I had no idea there was a ketchup advisory board. Awesome.

I swear I get redder and redder with each passing second. Luckily, it's not crazy painful, just rather uncomfortable, and it's kind of chilly tonight, so the extra warmth is kind of welcome.

Those two comments are unrelated.

Art Crawl!!!

Hec -- that's great news about your book! This must mean that it's available again, right? Or will this new thing kill distribution, again? (I have like three people I want to buy copies for -- including myself!)

Personally, I think it's perfectly acceptable to say "No gifts" -- that way you've been clear and it's not your fault if people don't believe you.

Hope everyone had a good Easter. We had unexpectedly beautiful weather and a friend gave me a lovely Easter basket chockful of goodies. I had to brush my teeth to prevent myself from eating more Dove Chocolate Easter Eggs.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

That's very creepy, beth.

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

You should totally overhear an admission of a crime, Beth, and then have to track them down before they get out of the country.

Home, Perkins? Not yet -- not for a few weeks.
