I think I passed up the opportunity to taste the famed fernet on Sunday. But my hosts had already fed me wine, sake, and tequila.
Hrrm.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Beach at Wilmington is 2.5 hours; Outer Banks is 4-5. Mountains are 4-5 also.
In high school, I met a guy from North Carolina who took great pains to tell me he was from the beach, not the mountains -- he didn't want Yankee me to think he was too country. Made me laugh, since I clearly had no idea what he was talking about. And he was wearing a suede jacket with fringe on the arms.

Thanks for the birthday wishes, y'all! And Happy Birthday, Jen!
NYC mani/pedis are one of the few things cheaper here than anywhere else-- there's lots of competition
Amen. I am so jealous--not only are they cheap, they're all OVER the place! Though there are some places near my work that aren't too bad.
And randomly, HI NILLY!
Want to pimp your city to me?
Raleigh-Durham is cool! And I get to go there sometimes! So I might get to see Dana if she moved there! So she should.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday meara and Jen K!
WorldCon was good, but exhausting. Still readjusting to the time zone difference, which is probably why I'm so tired today.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hello all!
Despite the name Brainstorming, I ended up as "Coordinator, Center for Lifelong LEarning", which, while a little silly is a step up from Secretary, or even Program Assistant (which I was using) or Office Manager (which the other Sec IV uses). They like Program Assistant, however, and are going to use it for the new Sec III. So it is nice that boss and big!boss think I am better than an assistant, even though they are not yet able to bump my grade, although boss is pushing for it.

That's a good title, Sophia. And really good that you're so well thought of!

I want to move to Raleigh-Durham or Chapel Hill (for two thirds of the year) now. Thanks a lot, Natter.
And he was wearing a suede jacket with fringe on the arms.HA!
