Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Will you marry me, Sara?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

With only two people, a dishwasher wouldn't save us much time or effort anyway. (It's also explicitly forbidden by the terms of our lease, but that's a whole nother thing.)

My microwave is pretty much only used for defrosting things. The toaster oven gets much more use.

I'll do other people's dishes for money, not marriage!

hip deep in pie

Will you marry me, Sara?

No me!

I'll do other people's dishes for money, not marriage!

Damn! But I get very good health benefits! And dental!

I don't cook with a microwave because I don't cook.

The first thing I did when I found BtVS in season 3 was go online and find summaries for every episode from the first two seasons, so I expect our perspectives differ.
Heh. I suppose that's possible. But can I ask why you did that? Is it enthusiasm -- like, "Oh neat! Now I want to know everything there is to know about this as soon as possible!" Because that makes a lot more sense to me than the homework-y thing. I might have done that with B5, actually.

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

With no dishwasher we've almost completely stopped cooking at casa de bon Bob.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I don't cook, either. I have a microwave to heat up the things I'm eating that I didn't cook. When I try to cook, it's generally a messy, inedible disaster.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The first thing I did when I found BtVS in season 3 was go online and find summaries for every episode from the first two seasons, so I expect our perspectives differ.

See, this is one of the many reasons why I love Cindy so much. I did the exact same thing, only it was S4. God bless buffyguide.com.

But can I ask why you did that? Is it enthusiasm -- like, "Oh neat! Now I want to know everything there is to know about this as soon as possible!"

That's why I, personally, did it. When I get obsessed by new things, it's complete immersion.

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Indeed, I'm a Memphian. Who knew that I would ever claim that? I'm here til December/January, and then I'm off.

Swouncing

I don't mind doing dishes, no big. Very often I'll be washing my cooking dishes out before I sit down to eat.

Yup, me too. I really don't mind doing the dishes. The fun part is, to people who hate doing them, taking that task upon myself seems like a big deal, so I get to both do something I don't mind, as well as being considered housework-heroic, especially in big family meals.

In fact, one of the strangest things about my USA trip was the lack of dishes to wash. I either used paper plates and the like, or had crackers and other stuff that needed no dishes, or ate out. For three whole weeks I washed maybe one bowl, twice, at deb's, and that's that. It was strange to realize how strange it felt.

Welcome, AirstreamNA! [Edit: it's strange - just yesterday I saw your tagline on the back of somebody's t-shirt, so my first thought was wondering whether I've already posted with you or something, because it was familiar.]
