Natter 40: The Nice One  

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

On the other hand, work is letting us out early....

DH gets out early today, too. I think at 1:00. Which is nice because we've decided not to drive to his folks' house until tomorrow morning. We'll have this afternoon and evening just to chill.

Note to Jilli: CUTEST babygoth boy delivered our pizza last night. Spikey hair, brow & lip piercing, black nail polish. Looked about 19. But the poor kid was obviously new and gave us the wrong order. He was gone by the time I figured it out so I had to call the pizza place. I felt bad for him and made sure the manager knew I wasn't upset. The kid came back later to bring me the right order and was just soooo sweet. He was having a rough night.

Of course they couldn't take back the other order so we ended up with $50 worth of pizza. I took the extra over to my neighbor's house. He's got a high school age son who opened the door and, when I told him what happened, said, "COOL! DAAAAAD!!! PIZZZAAAAA!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hee! Now that's a nice unexpected gift.

Your tag here.

I just had to figure out how to sign a card that makes an alarm sound when open. The card is loud and it is late.

Hee. I'm imagining you trying to defuse the card Mission Impossible -style. Possibly suspended from the ceiling, even.

She should have tried magnets, cleverly placed magnets.

Our wings are not tired.

I approached Natter this morning expecting some snark over the AMA show. (Not that I actually saw it, but I saw the news reports) Instead I found a variety of Natter worthy of the thread description. Do we all see the same colors? Non-Euclidean Geometry. Some grammar. Cool gay inventors. Cool suicides, or accidental suicides. Ranking rotten days. Typing speed. Tauntings of vacations with booze, and Lush deliveries. TAR. Cutey Lego link. Weather. Insomnia. Pizza via cutiehead gothboy. No doubt some other Natter too.

Hi all! I didn’t go into the office yesterday but I think I’ll go in now and take off early. I’m going to try that turkey brining stuff.

Laura, I'm catching up on AMA awards but the words, "Mariah Carey" and "heavily favored" aren't computing. Man, I hope the Fug girls were up late last night so I can get the fugly this morning.

She is the only part of the show I have seen on the news blurbs. Umm, nice hair.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Carey won one AMA, for favorite soul/R&B artist.

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

Biofuel kills the Amazon rainforest.

I miss the cuteness of the Andy link already.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can't figure out what schoolwork to bring. I know I should bring some, but I know I won't actually do much, so I don't want it to be too heavy. I have this dilemma every time I go anywhere this semester because half of my classes have a heavy textbook and/or a huge coursepack. Annoying!
