Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'll still swing by.

Heh. I'd love to see you sometime soon. Do I need a cassoulet to tempt you?

WRT fish I seem to have a higher tolerance to fishy smell than to finding clever ways to cook it. Plus the kids prefer simple food preps. Our go-to fish dishes are steamed salmon with sea salt and pan-fried tilapia. Steaming contains the smell pretty well, frying NSM.

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

State of the Boo update:

Last night, after a lovely dinner and bottle of wine with megan walker, we all curled up on the couch to wind Matilda down for the night with the newest episode of Yo Gabba Gabba, "New Friends" with special guest star Jack Black. Result: Total and utter FAIL. Jack Black is deeply, viscerally, existentially horrifying to her. We lasted three minutes into the episode before she was sobbing and drenched in weepy snot, wailing, "No more! No more! Don't want new friends! No no no!" We quickly switched over to another ep and, Demon Jack banished, she was again all smiles and joy and butterflies and unicorns.

This morning, before going out to the playground, we've been watching Animal Planet shows about the African veldt, and she's capering about in her meerkat costume, delighted to have a waggly tail.

To sum up: Meerkats good, Jack Black soul-devouring hellspawn.

“Not dead yet!”

To sum up: Meerkats good, Jack Black soul-devouring hellspawn.

I kinda thought that was an accepted fact of the universe.

Regardless, Matilda remains incredibly precocious with an added hefty dose of Quite Wise.

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

Jack Black soul-devouring hellspawn

How harsh for it to have come to her so young, but how wise she is at her age.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I kinda' feel sorry for Ugly Bat Boy. He's not a Sphynx, so his hair aesthetics are all wrong.

Still, if I saw him I'd tell him what a good and pretty kitty he was....

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

How harsh for it to have come to her so young, but how wise she is at her age.

Exactly.

Drawing with crayons.

Do I need a cassoulet to tempt you?

Ha! No. But you can still bring one.

Okay, I think I'm sleepy now. Gonna go see how that works out.

I'm masquerading as an extrovert. It is freaky! (Posted to the neighborhood list last night.)
