Happy birthday, Perkins!
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So with you, Strega. I hate the folding and putting away bits of laundry. It drives me mad because it only takes a literal few minutes. But I hate it and never do it and it therefore takes a year and results in wrinkled dirty freshly laundered clothes. I'm trying to be better about short stupid tasks like that and just get them done.
Which reminds me, I need to get offline and unload the dishwasher. And do the budget. And get the fundraising software working.
Damn.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I hate the folding and putting away bits of laundry.
JZ and I often split this process so I haul it to the laundromat, wash it, dry it, haul it back. And she folds and puts it away.
Though she also often does the whole thing herself, either at her Dad's house, or just in the nabe.
Still, it's nice to be able to break it into two.

Half of what I get is abusive about my weight. It's really weird.
When I attempted Craigs List personals I had my ad get flagged and taken down as inappropriate content or somesuch. Poking around on the internets I discovered this is a phenomenon -- guys will flag "BBW" ads so they're taken down.
My understanding is that its an automatic threshhold X number of flags and bye-bye post -- so I'm not all too annoyed at Craigs List as an entity. My other understanding is that X is a substantial number and you can't sit there flagging a post over and over -- so I'm kind of queasy at the thought of dozens or hundreds of guys doing this on principle or for kicks or something.
This was the end of Trudy and Personal Ads.

....what is that color screen called that you used to see at the end of a broadcast day on tv??
By the way, it is still used, much to my surprise. I taped an hour of one just this week (when I was trying to tape Clean Sweep on TLC at 6am).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have gotten into the habit of folding my laundry fairly quickly, but then it stays in the laundry basket forever. I can't explain why.
Happy birthday, Perkins!

And because it deserves a separate post:
Happy Birthday, Perkins!
Happy Birthday, Phoenix!

The 50 best things to eat in the world, and where to eat them
I'd trust that list more if he knew the difference between a macaron and a macaroon.
Sadly, Ladurée is the only place on that list I've been.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I currently have three unfolded baskets of laundry just taunting me. I HATE the folding with a white-hot hate.

My other Spoiled New Yorker Indulgence is that the roommies and I chip in for a housekeeper once a month. It's only $23 each and its amazing how well we keep it up if there is a base-level of clean.
