It was the trick of matching that.

And the first skirt was the one which did the trick? How is it that in more cases than not, it's the first option that ends up being the one we go with, but we can only realize it after we've tried a few more?

Theo, if a shower is what you feel will dis-gronkify you, then why not?

Has anyone flown on Song?

That's a name of an airline, right? Not you being poetic? Either way, I've done neither. And thanks for Ali-hello-ing for me.

I don't know why we so often go with the first. Maybe it's a case of the grass is always greener.

One problem I have with California dressing is this: so often the mornings and evenings are cool. But midday is a full 30 degree difference so I have to find weather appropriate layers in appropriate grown up attire.

First world complaint, sure. But still my ish.

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

I'd say Brussells because they speak less English there, and it's more of a change. All I can remember about it, though, was that their McDonalds sold banana milkshakes.

Gus, thanks for the dispensation to be an adult consumer who takes responsibility for spending her own money. I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of treating the consumer like they're stupid, and much of your Netflix angle (I'm guessing, since you never pointed out when they lied, or why reading is bad) seems to be to mollycoddle instead of enable.

ARGH. ita threw a wrench in my decision making process. CURSES.

I figure it's easier to go to London (or more likely that there'll be some other reason to go later), so you might as well do Brussells now instead.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, if ita had favored (favoured?) London, she would have mucked up your decision process with a spanner.

This year, since we have an autumn, we have a similar problem. Other than the "grown up attire", of course, which we don't really bother with, I think.

Kat, Brussells could fit into a longer trip, like you described. Could London do something like that, too? Because if not, then London is better for the 2-days thing, and Brussells for later, right? [Edit: hee. Completely opposite x-post with ita.]

I keep thinking that there are too many "s"s in "Brussells".

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Season six is full of that. Except Bayliss sleeps with somebody cause he came back wrong and...oops, wrong Season Six. Sort of.

but from Dublin, it's much easier to go to London. Or maybe we should fly to Venice. though venice would take longer to fly to; to get to London and Brussels (and I can't figure out how to write that in English. Is it one "L" or two? and it's pretentious as all shit to write it as Bruxelles which is how I know to spell it) is abotu the same time and effort and money.

It cracks me up that fares are cheap but the taxes fees and bullshit are almost 50 times the fare.

unintentional spelling x post with Nilly.
