Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

Grilled pork chop. Couscous. Love apple sauce.

No root.

No husband.

Will cope.

All the bad guys seem to die in the last ten minutes of a Miami Vice episode. Don't do one of those, msbelle.

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

I love it when your boss calls you in your office at midnight with, "Oh, you're still here?...well, here's what I need" simultaneously making you feel guilty for still being here and keeping you here even longer.

Guilty for being there? What crack is that?

"Oh, I'm surprised you're still here, aren't you efficient enough to be gone already?"

My interpretation might be the minority view.

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 went to a screening thingy tonight, and someone introduced me: "This is Allyson, she's an author."

I'm still tickled.

I can't even.

My interpretation might be the minority view.

Dayum, hardly seems adequate. I'm somewhat hosed and had a model want to marry me for my EU passport (that's the highlight, she has a skanky eurotrash boyfriend, what, he can't give her status?), my evening seems better in retrospect.

bon bon, in my somewhat alcohol-fuelled view, you're a saint for not giving the boss the metaphorical pink pump up the patoot.

I'm trying to work out how much I like this. I'm toying with the idea of owning a woman's watch. Never done that before.

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

How small does a watch have to be to be a woman's watch? I have a 1920s Art Deco watch that I've assumed was unisex. But some people have thought it's a woman's watch, as it's much smaller than those big watches that manly men wear.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I like the watch a lot - but because of the beaded band - we are talking braclet that has a watch face on it. While it obviouly works like a watch, it is going to float around on your wrist like a bracelet. and with the clasp so near the face - the face will be spinning under your wrist , not on top.

I think the size in proportion to the wrist is what determines " man watch" vs "woman watch". DH and I are very similar in size - but his wrist is much heavier than mine. I can wear a good sized face - that would look small on his wrist. However, I think the main difference is 'things we don't think of as things men wear' like beads for a band or diamonds around the face.
