The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
2. I am flying there TOMORROW. For your birthday.
You are, aren't you?
Wheee.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
A state appeals court on Friday threw out the only remaining conviction against one of the black teenagers accused in the beating of a white schoolmate in the racially tense north Louisiana town of Jena.
It's something, at least.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
This past year I kissed girls, which is kind of a big deal for me, but not as big had it led to anything more.
Kissing can -- nay, SHOULD -- be an end unto itself.
So an Otaku--kinda like an anorak, then?
You have NO idea how happy this question makes me. Chatty!co-worker and I, when we're being uber-geeky, mock ourselves by saying things like, "My anorak is so big, I can't put my arms down!" and so forth.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aww, Tep, I was just watching this and thinking of you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So. What have you done in the last year while Matilda went from born to one?
Well, there was that whole engagement and marriage in a totally foreign country thing. Bought some land. Oh, and I've lost about 13 kilos so far. Bloody sniffer dogs.
If the food is acidic (tomatoes are particularly bad), leaving food in cast iron causes big reactions with the acid in the food -- rust on your dinner and all the seasoning gone from your cast iron!
This may well be why the English and Americans believed tomatoes to be poisonous while they were being in with relish (or even in relish) in Southern Europe. England and America at the time favoured pewter plates, with which tomatoes would react, while in Italy or Spain they commonly used ceramic, IIRC.
We are very emotional creatures. Take away our feelings and we don't turn into Spock. Instead, we become pathologically indecisive and amoral. You can't separate cognition from emotion.
Isn't it cool? I love this. Therefore I am.
I want a robot maid! Where's my Rosie, I ask you??

Still no hot water. I got all hopeful when a van pulled up out front, but it's someone moving in.
Poor bastards.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My dinner was the leftover chicken lasagne from lunch, cold, ginger ale, and then I'll have my nightly fig & peanut butter on English muffin with a rooibos tea later tonight.
It's pretty evident that I can never be allowed custody of another human being. But my phone sure is nifty.

Bah. That robot can't vacuum.
I just had some brocoli (with onion dip) for desert.

Latest word is no hot water until monday. Which means three cold showers. FUCK THEM.
I'm in that office tomorrow morning, being a complete and utter bitch. Especially since they figured it out at 3 fucking 45 today. They had to replace a complete fucking boiler a few years back when it died friday night. They can do better.
I should really move. I know these things happen here cause it's older and was neglected so long. But good god.
