You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

OMG cutiehead Robbie Williams. love.

His Escapology album helped a great deal during my marriage breakup. (With the possible exception of Me And My Monkey.)

We had one at my old office. They are definitely fast and easy, and seem to make decent tasting stuff - the cappucinos are kind of fun. I'd be too cheap to have one at home for every day use, though.

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

an opinion on the Tassimo beverage system?

I don't get the point. I look at it and think of all the brands of coffee or tea that will never be packaged to run through the machine and I don't think I could balance that against the lack of putative gain in the quality of the cuppa.

ita, I meant extra as in things I have to pay for out of pocket.

Damn. My days are dwindling down to nothingness.

Sigh.

No, I know what you mean. And it shouldn't be so.

Nope it probably shouldn't.

I think I might make sugar cookies this weekend and maybe some breakfast bars. Actually, ita, do you have plans for saturday?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, it should not.

So I'm at a bar with my coworker earlier, and there's a middle-aged guy there with a younger guy. We're talking to the older guy, and my coworker eventually says, "I assume that's your son?" Thank goodness it was! That could have been really insulting! She told me later she thought they were a couple, until the one guy said he was from Texas. Ha! They have teh gays in Texas, I'm sure.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I made the pan pizza from last week's ATK tonight - yum! I think the crust could use a little more olive oil, and I need to replace my stand mixer, but otherwise a huge success. Microwaving the pepperoni to degrease it is genius.

Jesse, that's hysterical. Is there a word equivalent for the much older man with a young man? Not cougar, obviously, but something akin to that?

Now I'm craving pan pizza.
