I'm hoping that the falling apart front door of my building is the result of a structural collapse and not a break-in attempt.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Yeah, I'm only leader when it is convenient.
Matt, um...I'm not sure if I should be wishing structural collapse. Maybe someone-legit-locked-out in a panic?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just tried TJ's new (at least to me) Heat & Serve Tandoori Style Butter chicken with butternut squash, spinach, and peppers on rice. It doesn't have any real resemblance to Indian food, but it was very yummy.

It's a pushbutton code lock, so anyone that should be getting in knows the code, and could go around the back if it's not functioning.
My neighbors do slam it a lot, but it's a 2-year old door that I thought was fairly sturdy - I'm surprised by the whole thing coming apart rather than just the handle/lock. (Of course, that would be true of a break-in attempt too.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a minty green schlager, isn't there? I blank on the details, probably because I thought it was worse than the gold stuff. The human palate is amazing. I can't believe that some people enjoy the taste of, say, gin. Or beer that's not stout. And don't get rum.

Doesn't sound promising. eta: to Matt. I'm a gin lover, myself.
OK, I'm now officially expecting a shiner in the morning. Just walked my eyebrow into an open cabinet door at full on speed. Ow. Curse my inability to close doors. It's genetic. Mom bitches about it all the time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I live in CA. My folks live SC. They still blame open cabinet doors on me

My mother dearly wants self-closing cabinets. And so do I, as I sit with an icepack on my face. I don't know why it is so hard to remember to do.

You'll have a shiner from walking into a door? Like, that really happens?
Huh.
Sorry you hurt yourself.
My apartment's pretty safe that way--the cabinets are impractically high. Allyson and Kat are totally safe. Of course, they'd also starve to death, so there's that.

Nah. there's always the fridge. I just wouldn't be able to use any glasses or plates.
Noah split his temple on a cabinet door on Saturday. I'd have been more sympathetic if it hadn't been a cabinet from HIS kitchen that he left open.
