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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know we've moved on, but I need to ask what people mean by thick v thin crust on pizza. Because there's cracker thin, and then there's regular thin. Also, my parents claimed it was New York's influence on me when I told them my normal takeout pizza order was one regular slice (cheese, tomato sauce), and one grandma slice (tomato, no cheese). They laughed at the lack of topping. But I'm saying, if the basics are delicious, you don't need all that other crap.

Grace looks great!

I am in a hotel suite way bigger than my apartment. It's kind of crazy.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

In New York terms, IMHO, "thin" would be something brick oven like Grimaldi's and "thick" would be something rising like Ray's Famous (the real one on 6th and 11th).

Elsewhere there is the cracker thing, the bready thing take care of the extremes.

Oh! And there is Sicilian which is very thick... but so clearly not confusable.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Horrible, horrible day.

Someone tell me something nice.

I need to remember the feeling of gratitude and employ it or my entire head will become not unlike a Barbie in the microwave.

The status is NOT quo.

How about something funny?

The other creative writing class is doing odes to dismembered body parts for a Halloween bulletin board.

The first submission is "Lend Me Your Ears."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Someone tell me something nice.

You are a loyal and loving person, without being all treacly.

Not to mention you are a wonderful Auntie.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You are better than pie. Even cookie crust pie. Which is good, good stuff.

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

are the exception that prove the rule

Heh. Inasmuch as that's not what that means.

I count #1 as a pie because of the starchy cup in which the contents rest.

But the veal pies I grew up with in England weren't a starchy cup--there were a layer of pastry laid down on top of a pot of stew. Shepherd's pie is one step away from that (I refuse to call Shepherd's pie anything, because it's ick).

Pies with Paperdol are better for her being there, and I haven't done pie with you in forever.
