I have Issues with chili powder because I forget that the bottle has a flip-top -- a bunch of my spices don't; you unscrew the cap, and the shaker is there. So I unscrew the chili powder and go to shake it into the pot. Except oops! I dump it all in, instead.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Jessica, what's the parking like around you? That might be a bigger concern than insurance.
Where I live now, I can park free on the street. (Otherwise I'd never even consider owning a car.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Affect.
I've seen that video before, but it made me teary watching it now. Oh, brave old world, that has such people in it.

I did that with red pepper flake, once. And then I tried to eat what I'd been making after scraping out most of the red pepper flake. I like it hot, but NOT THAT HOT JESUS CHRIST.
Considering that I slept ridonkulously late, I'm burning through my list of things to do. I stripped the bed, washed the sheets and duvet cover, remade the bed, did laundry, emptied the dishwasher and filled it again, washed the dishes that couldn't go in the dishwasher, ordered groceries, paid bills, and tossed some nasty stuff from the cupboard and refrigerator. Next I will sort paperwork, fold laundry, make a pot of chicken noodle soup, sweep, and mop.

Today was supposed to be a cleaning day. Instead I've done the first batch of spring planting and am chilling on the deck. It's freaking gorgeous here today. Especially considering we had snow two days ago.

I should get out. I'm freezing in my apartment. It's almost 10° warmer outside.

I know! It's an antidote to the people suck malaise I usually feel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
aurelia, that's an entirely charming video. Made much more charming by the fact that not only can homeslice apparently not dance, but that a lot of the people who join him decide to dance just like him. But India is my favourite.
However, unlike the movie, he hasn't suffered a psychotic break. Lars didn't have a cute idea. He went off the non-violent deep end.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
This car thing is interesting -- Our friend T came down here -- and his alternator is not good. As in it is being replaced in our driveway now....
hopefully that is three...( T is a freind of consuela - so we can count him as the third buffista)
