I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

1. Open can of black beans.

2. Pour some straight into a saucepan; take a wooden spoon and smush the rest (still in the can so you don't have to dirty an extra bowl) into a beany paste, dump into the saucepan.

3. Add chopped onions or dried onion flakes if you're lazy, cilantro if you're into that sort of thing, a pinch or two of chili powder, and a tiny drab of sherry.

4. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

5. Top with sour cream or super-tangy plain yogurt or whatnot.

6. Consume.

It's not great black bean soup, but it's fast, relatively un-effortful (except for the beans-in-the-can smooshing, which can be therapeutic if you've had a crap day), and perfectly adequate.

But furry pink batwings sound like a wise investment. Where are they for sale?

Yep. They were very cute. I didn't invest in them, but I wanted them desperately.

I need a costume for school. I think I should go as Miss Alanieus and just put a random collection of crap on a cape and a pageant ribbon

I fell in love with a pair of purple velvet and satin high heel pointy toes slides today. I would own them now, but I haven't worn high heels since high school, and all scenarios where I imagined myself wearing them ended in the ER.

ER would be bad. I'm looking for saddle shoes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Vintage or new saddle shoes?

eBay has some bass ones on BIN. I can't remember what size you wear. 6? 5?

7. Amazon has some, but I can't understand the widths. they say EE. What does that mean?

EE is normal, standard, medium. Most shoes sold are EE.
