Erin in Natter:

That laundry has been around, some of it, for about a year. It was starting to look like a creature from the Cthlulu universe.

It hissed when I poked it with a stick. So I stuck it in some hot water with detergent and this old grimoire I found at the Salvation Army store.

It doesn't hiss anymore, but some of the pants developed a mysterious third leg..

shrift, continuing the laundry theme:

I have triumphed over my voicemail. I have nearly triumped over my e-mail. I should get home before 9 o'clock tonight.

And now it occurs to me that I should take advantage of the unholy asskicking I have given this work day by doing laundry.

Erin: I'm SUCh the trendsetter...

Cashmere in Natter:

Rock, Paper Scissors saved my marriage.

vw bug in Bitches:

Some days I forget how much Buffista-speak makes it into my everyday life. So many of my real life friends are Buffistas too, that it's just how I talk now. I called my mom yesterday afternoon to bitch about the fact that Macy's was closed for inventory purposes (I have a gift certificate to spend there, and yesterday was supposed to be my fun gift certificate shopping day).

I said to her, "Mom, my diamond shoes are too tight."

Her: "What shoes, honey?"

Me: "My diamond shoes. It's a saying, mom. When one has a first-world problem, they complain about how their diamond shoes are too tight."

Her: "A first-world problem?"

Me: "You know, instead of a third-world problem, a first-world problem...one that's not really a complainable problem, but you're going to complain about it anyway. Nevermind. I really just called to whine because Macy's is closed for inventory, and I can't spend my gift certificate."

Her: "Oh, that's too bad. Why didn't you just say that to begin with?"

Libkitty in Bitches, on going to the University of Alaska:

It was fun, though, and for the rest of my life, I can brag on living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history, which is the only good thing about living through the coldest month in Fairbanks history.

Calli in dog Strider

I want to either be the one fixing the woes or making them, depending on how much listening to the woes of the world I've been doing of late.

Cindy: I missed this find your spot thing. Where is it?

Betsy HP: You need a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves and a mirror.

Cashmere, In Bitches:

I've wrestled in jello before, so I'm not too sure about the idea of bathing in it.

Polter-Cow:

Steph L:

Pardon???

Deena:

I gotta say, "I've wrestled in Jello" is a good mantra for blanking the mind.

Strega: I blame the whole world for "Happy Anniversary." But it, and S4 of Buffy, and Firefly, convinced me that it while Whedon might love sci-fi (as opposed to pure fantasy), it was a bad, unhealthy love, and sci-fi should consider getting a restraining order.
