Our wings are not tired.

Thanks for filling me in on the NYE, Tep.

The entity behind Gus is a creep for manipulating y'all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

He'd mentioned the girlfriend often enough before that. The whole dying thing seems kind of . . . impulsive to me. Partially because of the timing.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

If he had just drifted away, I would have been fine with that. But every time he posted, I got a big smile and greeted him with enthusiasm since he was fun to talk with. When the big reveal came about what a fake it all was, I felt so used, in a strange way. My pleasure over talking with him was tarnished and I have no fond memories of him at all now. I can't even go over to the tropes site without feeling resentful.

I can't bring myself to get too worked up about it, though what I'm most regretful of is the bad feeling among us both on that NYE and after Cindy blew the doors open.

I am intrigued that the LA Times got a story so much closer to the truth.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I twice started this big long post about what I think and twice aborted it. First my phone ate it, and now I think I need to rethink. Hee.

I'm starting to suspect that any research I do down this road will only lead to victor-chasing-andy-kaufman levels of weirdness. And maybe I don't want to go there.

ION of me. The parsnips were one thing, but my produce box now includes like two pounds of daikon. What the hell do I do with that?

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

I would bet that "Eddie" never thought that it would actually affect anyone if his sockpuppet "died". Or enjoyed watching the pain. Either way, the little sociopath ought to have his head shoved into a used toilet.

Well, I have my Dumpling; A Seasonal Guide cookbook right here. Looking up daikon gets me recipes for Slippery Rice Balls in Cabbage-Radish Soup and Daikon Cake.

I think you can slice then up and stir-fry them with other stir-fryable things. Toss 'em in the same time as the carrots?

I have thoughts, but...I just discovered why Loki had been rattling the stupid catfood tub incessantly for the past few days. Normally, he mainly does this when the dish needs filling, but it was full! However it was to the right of the waterdish. And it is normally on the left. Apparently that was too much change for the walnut brain. (He knew it was there, and has eaten from it. But that's Devi's side and thus Wrong and the equivalent of an empty dish.)
