I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I suspect our car has been secretly talking to Hec and JZs car.

I knew it was a mistake to start making talking cars.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ah, shit, flea, I'm sorry. Buffista cars need to cease all communications immediately.

Terrible news about Poland. And I can't imagine how the former head of their lower house of Parliament is coping with it -- a few hours ago he was a moderately important person with his plate full of intra-house domestic battles and politicking, and suddenly not only is the entire country reeling in the wake of a hideous tragedy but he's in charge of all of it.

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

Your place looks great, msbelle.

flea, aargh. I live in terror of when my car decides "enough!" But she's been pretty good recently.

I am stuck on this site. I love their necklaces the most.

information libertarian

I think the Prime Minister didn't die.

We keep having these catastrophes that are not too bad. Like, our car may have died, but it died in our driveway on a weekend, giving us a good lag time to figure out some temporary transport before everyone has to go to work/school on Monday. A pipe bursts in the ceiling, but I hear it go and we get the water shut off in 15 minutes. My kid breaks her thumb, but it's a little break and healing nicely and she's not in pain.

In some ways I feel lucky, but... could also use a break.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think the Prime Minister didn't die.

Prime Minister wasn't on the plane, yeah.

I'm sorry about your car, flea, but I'm glad it died conveniently.

Because books.

Ugh, car trouble. Always the worst. Except for the plane crash -- that's horrific.

ita, that site is fantastic. I just found about seven necklaces I want on the firs two pages. God, I need a sugar daddy. Or mommy. I'm not picky.

No, he didn't die, but according to the NYT it's still the head of the lower house who's acting president (though, I guess, only for the next two weeks, with a general election to follow within the next 60 days).

but I'm glad it died conveniently.

Which is to say: not in Bakersfield.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In some ways I feel lucky, but... could also use a break.

Sounds like! Jeesh.

Excluding the thumbs.
