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?

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am not sure slanted door will seat us unless we are all there, so please let us know if it looks like you will be late. Eta: substantially late I mean.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I have to bail - took another tech writing gig and it is eating me starting from my bottom. Damnit.

Our wings are not tired.

In very frustrating news, I have a few of hours of work to get done today which wouldn't have been a big deal at all except the VPN on my work laptop isn't working and I can't access the files I need. So I have to drive drive down to effing Palo Alto to compete the work instead of doing it from my house.

Have fun but I won't be able to make Slanted Door.

Ugh. Sorry to hear that, all the way around.

Not javachik

Oh bummer, that's what I get for not checking here for weeks and weeks, I missed Slanted Door today. It's one of my favorite restaurants.

I'm going to try to catch Sox at the Sausalito venue Sept. 10. (eta: nope, that's when Bio 141 is.)

Tentative yes on a Sox brunch Sept. 13.

I'm signed up for three local theater companies in 15-16, and one of the plays is Jan. 17, which is MLK Jr. Birthday holiday weekend. Am I remembering correctly that there will be a memorial event in LA that weekend?

Booked my flight for New Orleans! Arrive Friday night and leave Tuesday!

I have never been to NO before and so have stuff on my list to do that no one else may be interested in (or not budgeted for) such as a cemetery tour and/or swamp tour. Looking forward to Sarah's birthday party!

I don't know that I'd recommend a swamp tour this time of year. It will be awfully hot and humid.

Good to know! The heat/humidity was the main reason I waffled so long on booking. But my want to see everyone and NO won out over my hatred of severe heat. And actually it's not the heat itself. It's the heat while trying to look presentable! In Hawaii and Texas I just give in and go with no makeup and wear beachwear all day. But I can't see doing that in NO.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Honey, you can be glittered up to your eyeballs or dressed as down as you like. People don't really blink either way. There are a few fancy restaurants with dress codes, but it's such a tourist town that most places are pretty casual.

You know, I've never done a cemetery tour? I just work in them. You have to do a tour of St. Louis #1 now, you can't just go in anymore. Too much vandalism at Marie Laveau's tomb. Anyway, I might be interested in a cemetery tour, or the very least have a company to recommend. And I can point out the tombs I've helped restore!
