But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

I'm getting the pig!

Cashmere, I've never tried the men's line at DHC but I LOVE everything else that I've tried from them.

DHC men's skincare.

OK, is it going to be a royal pain in the ass because a) they didn't send me a lease like they said they would, b) I don't know what my rent would be and they haven't been open since friday and c) I have to pay the rent this month, you know?

I'll be pissy if they aren't open at 8 like they claim...

If one wanted to try to see this legendary Trio on broadband, how would one go about it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Sleuth network is from NBC/Universal, so it's only a matter of time before they show a TV movie about a half-man/half-mosquito who solves mysteries.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Pfah. Doesn't look like I get Sleuth. So that sucks. No Trio, no replacement.

I am truly sorry about the ferret food, Sara. Not returning it?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I am guessing I won't be watching Trio on broadband. I Tivo lots of concerts, about 1 a week, more for DH than for me.

Well, yeah, I could do that. Get my $3 back. But that now would involve digging in the trash and explaining it tasted ferretty and I go to this store often enough that all the regular checkers know me. I don't need to be known as the ferretchicken lady. And the diwali lady who coaxed it on me would know.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Making the fruitcake now. (With the nutmeat.) This cake is insane. I'm excited for it.

Who has had bad or good fruitcake experiences? I'm curious to hear about it. I was watching the Food Network and there was some baker whose business was mail-order fruitcake-- and they were, by far, the most popular makers of fruitcake in the United States. Had been for decades. And they were incredibly defensive about fruitcake's reputation. I had to think-- they are responsible for it! Their cakes looked nast.

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

I don't think I've ever had a Christmas without my mother's fruitcake. It's moist and comforting and has layers of flavours.

I'm sure there's bad fruitcake out there, but what sort of food doesn't have bad examples? Most of the things people complain about aren't inherent to fruitcake--just to crap.
