I just remembered that I was going to get a box of Chanukah candles while I was in NJ, and I forgot. There are a bunch of stores in DC that I think might sell them, but all of them are just a little further than I want to walk to maybe not buy anything. I'm nearly positive that the grocery store at the Watergate sells them, but walking there with an unstable ankle through the slush and ice that I'm sure are going to be coating the sidewalks for the next day or two doesn't seem like the greatest idea. (The Watergate is at the bottom of a hill, and getting there from here involves crossing several streets where there's a crosswalk but no traffic light and the street is angled so that you can't really see the cars coming.)
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

Why don't you call ahead?

Oh. Huh. That would be a good idea, wouldn't it?

My old Safeway carried the most gorgeous Chanukah candles. Gradations of blue and also red to yellow. I need to stock up on them again. They are just so pretty, I often put them in vases.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Right. I thought I still had a box of candles in the freezer but I do not, I have one candle. Better fix that soon.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yeah. Y'all aren't going to believe this.
I ended up going over there last night because I was worried. We had a long and emotional talk. I think that my taking such a strong stand was what KBD needed to crack the walls around his heart. He is very much transformed and even so soon my emotions toward him have shifted enormously.
I know it sounds nuts and not a good idea, but we are going to craft a written plan to move forward.
I'm happier today than I've been in ages and feel better about the relationship than any time since the beginning. I'm not dumb, I know there's a hard road ahead, but I feel good about it.
Thank all again for your love and support.

Good luck, smonster. I hope the change lasts.

Too fucking right, -t. Now that I finally put my foot down, I will not be taking any shit, thankyouverymuch.
Stephen Fry is on Graham Norton. Awesomecakes. Next week, 50 Cent? I can't quite wrap my head around that one.

Our wings are not tired.
I wondered what the "giddy" update on Facebook meant and now I know! Good luck you two!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe some Beatles CDs for my dad.
It may be out of the price range you're looking for, but have you seen this? (I may get it for my parents except it would be the 3rd or 4th complete Beatles catalog they'd own. But still, it's a pretty neat collector's item.)
[oops, nevermind - it looks like they're sold out.]

If you're happy, then that's a good thing.
