This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Punishingly Intricate

Do they do car keys? I really need to dup my car key (my other spare is so worn as to need super special treatment) and have been putting it off due to impatience with finding a human.

This I do not know. Wait, do you have phone fear? I could totally call them for you and find out! (this is one of my special talents!)

I have phone laziness. But if you do, it's for a 97 nissan sentra!

(Oh my god, I am so lame. Did I just outsource a phone call to the internet? To a place a spitting distance from where I sit? By a person a stone's throw away? Why, yes, I guess I did...)

They do! and they are open until 6.

haha! I love doing stuff like this, though! Also making appointments for friends. I would be a very good assistant if I could be VERY picky about who I was assisting.

Art Crawl!!!

It's 38 degrees out. I stupidly did not plan for this. I'm going to be a bit chilly on the way home. (A cardigan over a t-shirt is probably not enough warmth . . . even if it was 0 out last week, right?)

Bwahaha! Thank you, lisah! Maybe I'll get around to it this week...

People are willing to walk for seven minutes to get to a McDonald's.

I'm not willing to walk to a McDonald's from my car in the parking lot.

You people are making me want McDonalds.

ME! If only I could afford to hire you and to hire sara (childcare!) and provide good benefits!

edit. on second thought, if I could afford to hire both of you with benefits, then I could also afford to stay at home and not work and do that stuff myself. Nevermind.

I drove away from one this weekend when the drive-through line wasn't moving fast enough.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Last time I had spare keys made, it was at the nearby Home Depot. They haven't been used yet. (I made them to give to the pet sitter who was going to give Boots her meds while we were away, but Boots passed on before that trip so the keys came back. I then gave a set to someone at the vet hospital who was going to look in on the kittens while we were away for the weekend, but she flaked on us. Luckily the kittens were ok, but I asked for the keys back)
