Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

They pronounce it with a short A rather than a long one. Or sometimes I get "Donna."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't have cardamom. I've been meaning to buy it ever since Generation X but clearly I never do.

Although the more you mention the ingredients, the more delicious that recipe sounds.

Oh, oh, and if that smile came with a laugh, you need to throw a party! I think I've mentioned this here before, but the Navajo tradition is when a baby first laughs, the person who made him/her laugh throws them a big bash. Then during the party, you put candy in the hand of the baby and help them to give it to each person who attends. Then the baby will be generous throughout her/his life.

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

I used to work with a D(short-a)na. She got my name wrong way too often.

I wonder if I do have dry ground ginger. I suspect I have cardamom--I'm getting a weird sense memory. My spices are arranged for crap, though.

Luckily with this new job I can go grocery shopping at lunch, get home, see what I still have missing and pick that up after work or kettlebell this evening.

Also, everyone I have spoken to today, which includes two recruiters and a receptionist, has pronounced my name wrong.

I'm sorry people suck, Donna.

Oh, sure, see if I look at the porn you sent me when I get home. That'll show you.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

That's awesome! I'll have to remember that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I used to work with a Dana-sounds-like-Donna (she said it was because she's Italian, which sounds legit), but my immediately-prior job had a Dana-sounds-like-Dana, so it was hard for me to remember sometimes.

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

Skipping madly ahead of the entire new thread to ask an urgent make-up question:

Does anyone know of a good foundation/powder that is pale with a pink base? Everything I can find is too yellow for my skin, even the lightest ones. I'm not "ivory", I'm "porcelain", apparently; but I don't want to shell out any more $$ for foundations that don't work if I can get some tips.
