Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

“The J.C.S. chairman going to the President with an economic argument—what’s going on here?”

At a guess, sanity?

I had my inaugural shopping day at TJs today. Pretty successful, although both it and WF failed me in my search for lime flavored olive oil (had some this weekend in a salad dressing and now want want want).

I had also wanted to get a pair of white sandals today, but was thwarted. I did however find some cheap sheets which I think might be made into skirts, we shall see.

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

YAY for TJs.

I was going to do laundry, but now I have a headache, so I think a nap is more likely. Feh.

The J.C.S. chairman

I missed the beginning of the convo, and it parses very strangely for me, as the only thing I can think of abbreviated JCS is Jesus Christ Superstar.

msbelle,

Were you with the boys? Because, if so, I believe I may have bought that lime olive oil!

I'm hoping to head up there myself late August. I so miss that place!

As for the oil, sad to say, it's something I stock up on whenever I'm in San Francisco. They sell it at the Ferry Building. But you get it on-line here: Stonehouse California Olive Oil

Persian Lime is my favorite I think, but the Blood Orange is also fab.

Couldyou make it by putting some lime peel in a regular bottle of oil, or is it fancier than that?

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

Cool-assed bed.

Seems they're not officially letting us go early. Since our last reorg we've lost jeans Fridays and this will be the second pre-holiday day where we've been expected to stay the duration. It's possible they think any of us are doing productive work between three and five, but I'll be damned if I get why we can't wear jeans on Friday anymore.

Pfft.
