whiiiine

I want my a/c.

Just me being home with a fan blowing cooler air in, tv on (computer is always on) has raised the temp 1.5 degrees. 81.5. Sometimes not having a thermometer makes it more bearable.

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, they explained.

Still weeping.

We don't know if they're renewing Jack and Bobby yet, do we?

quester, a little bit for me too. However, the whole (alias) imposter reveal seemed a little weak.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi.

Male mules are always sterile, but in very very very rare cases, female mules (mollies) can bear foals. /farm girl

My two nieces are graduating this month. One high school, one college. What in the heck do I give them??? Oldest is into punk/Goth, does all kinds of art and makes her own corsets and costumes; youngest is into retro fifties/sixties and she paints and speaks Latin. Someone help me, please.

Alias:

quester, Right? What's that about, me feeling sympathy for Sloane? That shit's not right. And I suspect they're just reeling me in, because I keep going back to the creepy scene where he brained the dude for not being worthy of Rimbaldi.

Also, I think Amy Irving is just lovely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is the high school grad going away to college? Something dorm-room-ish? Not that I can really remember what that would be.... A cute bathroom caddy filled with cool stuff and maybe hot flip flops?

Honestly, I feel like both of them are going to need cash more than anything, so maybe some cute smallish thing (cool lunchbox + notebook?) plus cash if you have that kind of budget?

Oh, and nice desk stuff for the college grad. Having nice desk stuff is great. I mean like a pen cup and whatnot.

For goth/punk sewing artist, I'd find a local really cool fabric place or art supplies place and get a gift certificate and wrap it up all funky. Not practical, but if that is the sort of thing that feeds her and she's a recent grad, she probably won't have any budget for more than the practical crap.

For the college going, I'm with Jesse. There's a lot of retro-style stuff out there right now that would fit her style. Also? Ask msbelle. She's good at that vintage. I mean, she has a pink vintage fridge! Oh! And nice towels. Or a good robe.

Cash is also good, of course, but it is also fun to feed the nonpractical. I know all cash I got (greatly appreciated) went to boring shit. Necessary, but not food for me.

Jesse, this is why I can't give gifts - I always just want cash myself. Youngest will undoubtedly need cash. Oldest has a summer job and is already selling her art for generous sums.

Biggest problem is, their uncle is THE best gift-giver in the world, and he is impossible to top. It's all I can do to even come close.
