Awesome! I will wave at you through the TV.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Someone asked me to review something as a favor, and it's just not very good, and now I feel bad telling her that. Hate that! I'm trying to figure out how to make constructive suggestions rather than just saying it doesn't make enough sense.
I usually try to phrase everything as a question. Like, do you mean ____ here? But sometimes that bites me in the ass when I want to say, "Do you realize you sound like a crack-addled moron?"
Or the other thing to do is find the place where the paper works best and work from that point out.
Why do I remember that??
For the same reason I remember misspelling flour as FLOWER in the 2nd grade spelling bee. Stupid homonyms.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

amych, is that no comment, just agreement?
The man has a serious erkel vibe.

I was in fact agreeing. But my post was unable to contain my dorkitude.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
...maybe I'll work from home tomorrow.
Currently, my district has not closed for tomorrow. And, honestly, I'll be surprised if they do. Blech.

But he's a sexy Erkel.

I'm so glad to have a nerd.
I really, really want to go down there Tues and take Taylor. But I don't know how realistic getting to the car-parking point (and buffista sighting!) is and then the schlepping to downtown. Had I not been an ass and gotten MARC tickets, it would be a little easier. I just want to hear the fucking oath of office, you know?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I can honestly say that all the parts are there, and my edits are mostly stylistic, and she can feel free to ignore any of it. I'm also assuming that other people reading it will have similar feedback, so.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh, I am sorry to be joining the party so late, but Costco has 500 count cotton sheets that are soft and lovely and cost about $50. Good value for the money.

I'm very very partial to the beech stuff, non-knit. And got an insane good deal because they changed labelling or something. $20 vs. $70.
