Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
possibly playing let's make new outfits! with the contents of my various closets
That's a hell of a game. I boggle just contemplating it.
meara, you totally don't need to tempt me with coffee.
This weekend I will hopefully get a working Windows PC in the house (normally I'd just buy new, but I feel pressure not to, with the job uncertainty three months from now), an also sleep. And cook, dammit. That too.
Found this magazine in the supermarket yesterday. I'm all blahblahdepriveygraincakesblahblah, but that's because this is all new to me--I've never dieted for more than a meal, and this is possibly the most important diet I ever go on, so I have to get motivated and keep engaged. That magazine is celebrating its 10th year in business. I bought a copy but have only flipped through it so far. Just starting with the title, 10 years seems a long time to be looking at this as privation.

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
Oh hey!
Whether it's dealing with celebrity image or political figures or understanding the politics and privacy of the Internet and a website, WILL THE VAMPIRE PEOPLE PLEASE LEAVE THE LOBBY? TRUE ADVENTURES IN CULT FANDOM is raucous, raunchy, funny and pointed: an observation of cultural laws, oddities and changing 'norms' which pokes fun at just about all aspects of Western culture, especially as it meets the machine world. A hilarious, fun read recommended for all libraries, from general-interest lending libraries seeking sharp contemporary humor to college-level collections strong in sociology or social observation.

Why yes, I do still search the internet for validation all the time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
As you should -- that's a great review!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I killed the thread with hubris!Nah, that's a great review to get all chuffed about. Plus, she's specifically pimping it to libraries, which should all but guarantee you a nice little handful of sales.
I was in self-imposed exile for a bit, writing thank-you notes for job interviews, which I utterly fucking hate to do. Hate. HATE.

so, I'm in a bar, waiting for my happy hour partner, when I notice a couple with a baby. I don't know how to feel about it. At least its non smoking. And I snagged a table and two guys keep looking over at the empty chair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally dropped my dinner on the floor (and the stove, and my clothes) before I got a chance to eat it. Awesome. Luckily, it was quick, and I had more of all the parts.
BUT STILL.

When they first made the bars here non-smoking, it felt like every time I went to a bar, there was a baby and/or little kid, and it was starting to make me nuts, but it seems to have chilled out. I'm not saying parents can't get a drink after work, but just because the baby is asleep doesn't mean it should be in a bar at 9pm!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm bored. I should have made plans with someone this afternoon, but I didn't, so I don't have anything to do tonight. I could go to services, but it's already starting to get dark, so by the time I got dressed and got there, the services would be halfway over. (Which is actually when plenty of people arrive, but I don't like coming in late, especially at this synagogue, where coming in late generally means not getting a chair.)
