Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah, I am going to try increasing my credit card limit again. Failing that, a bigger bank overdraft might do it.

I figure if I save until May I can get enough for a deposit to move, but it's just a pain - I hate waiting for things!

Amused at the statistics these agencies can provide - what newspapers people read, internet usage, etc. Of course, I'm a statistics anomoly apparently.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Bummer, so my New Year's Party seems to be falling apart. Folks who were previously on the fence are saying no, one couple who has always attended had something come up and might not be able to make it and a bunch of people just plain haven't responded which, knowing them, means they're not coming. It's looking like it's going to be myself, the GF, a friend and her husband.

Two pregnant ladies and their SOs sitting around on NYE is a little more low-key than I was going for.

Oh, well.

ION, there was a anti-drunk driving ad on TV last night that gave me the wiggins. Cops, judges and inmates singing "Everybody Plays the Fool" with a subtext of "Drive drunk and someone will make you their prison bitch."

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It's really starting to sicken me how much of a joke that's become. When was the last time you even heard the topic of prison rape come up without a smirk or a cheer?

I was so lazy today. I got up three times. This time, I think it'll stick because I'm dressed.

I need to go out and get groceries. And take the trash out. Maybe I'll vacuum. I don't know.

Northern NM got socked with snow. Think I heard that it broke a record 50 years old. Crazy. Meanwhile, it's still way above normal here.

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

I got up, ran despite my lazy inclination, and ended up with that postural hypotension, quite dramatically.

Home, taking it slow. Since I came back and snarfed and showered, I've been napping my last full day in JA away. I think it's about time I made another run at the fridge.

I love this fridge. It puts mine to shame. There's all this food in there, and much of it is already cooked.

Our wings are not tired.

Ah, that does sound lovely. Enjoy the napping and the joy of prepared yummy food.

All the good leftovers are 2000 miles away from me. I have a metric buttload of nuts and brittle and chocolate here, but it doesn't hold the appeal that tamales and beans and ham and chile cheese bread do. Ah well.

OK, leaving the house now. Really.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I now have a cell phone. That is all.

The evil is this way?

Just saw Inherit the Wind for the first time. Boy howdy, that's a hell of a movie.

Isn't it though? That cross-examination of Brady by Drummond was priceless. Some years back I read an account of the actual "Monkey Trial." As I recall, much of the cross examination in the play/movie came from the actual one Clarence Darrow did of William Jennings Bryan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Damn, that was a good lunch.

Leftover xmas Turkey and stuffing and homemade gravy. Plus Spanikopta. Finish with blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream.
