Gaudy Night is excellent! and, if you want to follow the sequence, Busman's Honeymoon is lighter (and shorter); it ha a series of letters at the beginning which give you a variety of viewpoints (that's not a spoiler is it?). There's also a short story which comes after that ... can't remember the title.
Zoe: So you two were kissin'? Book: Well. Isn't that... special?

Oh, trust me, she's being thoroughly indoctrinated.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Plei!
It's been pleasant this week, with temps in the high 70s. That's unusual for this time of year, but I'm not complaining.

There are SO many worse things to be indoctrinated with!

Today feels so much like Friday I don't even know. I think my only hope to be alive at all tomorrow is to go to bed as soon as mac is asleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So I'm thinking that white knee pads will work okay with the whole outfit if the stripper shoes I decide to take are the black and white spectator shoes, right? The black knee pads, always the default colour choice, are just ugly. God, please don't let me the pain get any worse before pole-dancing class #1.
I don't know what it will be for you guys, but I think it odd that the first two letters for my spectator shoe search were pretty much stripper shoes too.

AC is currently working. Have sent follow up to Corporate.
We'll see.
The contractor was pulling out just as I pulled in. My neighbor told me he'd just finished up. Guess he didn't work on it "first thing this morning"! Ah well, at least it got the property manager riled up.
Guess what else? I got my lease renewal today. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Ahem.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Darn you, ita, you have reminded me that I still want brown and black spectators. And yeah, stripper shoes.
Bacon floss does sound yuck. Flossing is to get the bacon out!

Hmm. Hungry now. Perhaps I will try to make something out of the kielbasa and black beans in the refrigerator.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Bacon floss sounds like a deeply wrong way to describe thongs.
