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

I do remember going as a group to a party where we didn't know anyone and spending most of the party on the balcony looking at not one but two different apartment with naked cavorting. Well, one cavorting, one cooking pasta. Mesmerising.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Art Linkletter passed away. He was a nice man.

I'm second floor corner. I really just assume people can't see in. For the most part, this is accurate.

Plus only 1 bath, and I think you have to walk through one bedroom to get to another. And given most stock at below that price has at least 2 bdrms, and that layout I think had 4...yeah

Because of the tree out front, you mostly can't see in my bedroom windows from the street or other houses, so I don't worry about the naked, though I have blinds. I know what spots are visible and don something if I have to go there.

Picture 16: [link] I wonder if that was my original sink!? My tub is purple, so maybe not.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Mother of all squid!

Well, more like great-great-many-times-great-aunt of all squid, but it's still a spectacular fossil. Behold the Cambrian mollusc, Nectocaris pteryx.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I often am guilty of VPN at yoga. V, a woman I practice with, never has that problem because she clearly doesn't wear underwear at yoga at all. This is clear because she also wears tights that thin out, as tights do, when stretched. I find that more distracting than VPN.

I think the Venus Williams French Open outfit is just tacky. I think the can can thing might have been better if the bottoms were red. I am also irked at her, "I didn't know how well it matched my skin tone" argument that she used when Serena showed her pictures because she used the same argument at the Australian Open. She may not have realized it once is plausible. But not realizing it twice means she's either a liar or stupid.

Has anyone ever wanted to learn how to pick a lock? There's this "hacker space" in Chicago that's gonna do a class on it next week: [link]

Maybe I'll go.... It could be a useful skill during a zombie apocalypse or natural disaster or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They have that around here, too! I was interested.

Because books.

Has anyone ever wanted to learn how to pick a lock?

The Winchester boys know how!

Now let's see if I beat ita to it.
