Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Carnivorous plants on SyFy? They should remake Little Shop of Horrors.

My SiL was in town today, so we went for dinner and did some shopping. She is pretty hard to shop for, and I still haven't gotten her present, so I was keeping my eyes peeled for what she was admiring. We were in the Bombay Company, where she was admiring a Nutcracker that was 40% off. So I starting planning to come back this weekend to get it for her. Just as we're heading to the cash, she says, "I'm going to get that Nutcracker." Mentally, I was saying, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sigh. She, my brother and their son are the only people I have left to shop for, and they all have everything. It's really difficult.

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

Bless my mother and sister. My mother loaded my sister up with sustenance, and my sister actually dragged it all from Jamaica. I didn't ask for rum, but I now have two bottles. Which is great, because I was all out, and eggnog season is here. And plantain tarts! My favourite pastry of them all. At least right now. I have a pile. And tamarind balls somewhere in that bag. I'm very happy, despite the headache.

And spending time with my sister wasn't bad either. Even if it was in LAX.

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

That sounds Awesome! I think I need to try plantain tarts

Your mom made sure you had two bottles of rum? ita's mom, for the win!

I didn't dare ask! I didn't want to sound like a lush. But she made my sister bring it just because.

That's my mom. She's been sending me overproof liquor since I started university.

What's overproof?

Over 150 proof--over 75% alcohol. And she sent me some drinking stuff as well as the mixing stuff.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Any rum cream, ita?

Gee I want to try rum cream.
