All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

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

$164 for a decent bumper repair is totally reasonable (marriage-worthy, I'm less certain, but then I don't know how bad your bumper was to start out with).

Thing is, I went in because my oil pressure was too low, and something had ripped off the bottom of the car. I already had body shop quotes for bumper repair (~$250), so having all three things fixed for less than $200? At least sexual favours over an extended period.

Wait...isn't that the opposite of marriage? I find it very hard to keep track.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's the same as marriage, if you're married to a mechanic.

Good to know. I suspect it might be the same if you marry a chiropractor.

When did Merv Griffin die? Today? I also read that Brooke Astor died.

Kashi Lean:

Okay, yesterday, according to IMDB.

Which also tells me this:

Hustle & Flow star Terrence Howard refuses to date women who don't use moistened tissue on visits to the toilet - as they are "not completely clean." The Oscar-nominated actor insists potential female suitors must not rely solely on toilet tissues in the bathroom, and even goes to the trouble of advising any partners to make the switch to baby wipes if they don't already use them. He tells Elle magazine, "If they're using dry paper, they aren't washing all of themselves. It's just unclean. So if I go inside a woman's house and see the toilet paper there, I'll explain this. And if she doesn't make the adjustment to baby wipes, I'll know she's not completely clean."

Which I really didn't want to know. Not that I was inviting him to my bathroom, or anything.

Dear Terrence Howard,

Just stick to the acting, and shut up about everything else.

Signed, Women

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, that's bananas. Although a friend of mine from high school had a strict shower-in-between-pooping-and-sex rule. I really knew way too much about her sex life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I'm watching Cash Cab, and I realized that since I take cabs so infrequently, if I were ever to get in the Cash Cab, it would probably be with my boss and the Big Boss, and it would be a freaking nightmare. Because what if they got the answer wrong and I couldn't steamroll them??

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

Are the baby wipes flushable?

Jesse, I know they do some prescreening, so maybe you'll be one of those!

I'll never be on Cash Cab, I just know it.

OTOH, I think I'm about to order some Omaha Steaks, even though I think it's probably ridiculous.

I think my brain is fried. I just though "fifty of one, half dozen of another." Um. And I need to go grocery shopping tomorrow. And tutor. And prep for something that may be mine already, but I really don't know and it is freaking me out. And I need new batteries.

People need to learn that not all sharing is good.
