This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I like the frames, if they were like, a knick knack i kept on the shelf.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It takes a fair amount of time to get used to your face in glasses, Allyson. It always takes me a couple of weeks to get used to new ones. And I only have one prescription, and still usually spend like $400 a pop, too. Annoying. BUT -- it amortizes out pretty well, for something you wear every day for a couple of years.

Does anyone think Allyson might not be giving an objective assessment of how she looks in the glasses? I'm thinking they will add an edge of attitude. (I hate the days I give the contacts time off and wear my glasses)

She wants a 2 page critical analysis of something. the instructions for the specific points she wants us to cover is one page, single-spaced. The instructions for the whole assignment is 3 pages, single-spaced.

Dude, that's bananas.

I'm so over the assignment.

Someone who is not me who knits, if you are looking for a good anniversary or birthday gift, I'd love get a knit toy that is insanely funny.

Trust my rage

I bet Allyson looks great in her glasses. Call me craxy but I think I'm right.

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

Allyson does need third party input-but not via photograph, because that will bum her out axiomatically.

Ha! They had me present. At least I was quick and funny enough. Did give me a headache, sadly. So over that. And krav came up, but not from me.

Now I have two classes to teach and a business requirements document to write before I rest. Who says there's no poetry in life anymore?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need the next 29 minutes to be gone, so then I can go home and do laundry and pack and eat sushi and squee all over the board a lot.

eta: very adorable, Kat, just like I bet Allyson is in her glasses.
