I came home early. Instead of doing anything useful, I'm watching Animal Planet.
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mean Girls was "based on" nonfiction, too, wasn't it? So there you go.
My most unfavorite part of this cold is that I don't feel like eating anything, and I REALLY don't feel like cooking anything. I had awesome Burmese chicken soup for lunch, but I think gumdrops will be dinner. At least I'm roasting some of the tomatoes in the house so they don't go bad before I feel like them.

Because books.

It just seems cheap to essentially write an original story and then use the name of a fairly well-known nonfiction book for the title. Especially when Reviving Ophelia was about more than domestic abuse, which is what the movie seems to be about.

We're ordering from a new pizza/sandwich place (new to us, anyway), and their menu is a riot. They have sandwiches named, among other things, Punch the Clown and Backwoods Revenge.

Absolutely. I'm just saying t happens. Mean Girls (the movie) had a different title, but it was equally unrelated to Queen Bees and Wannabes (the book).

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Mmm, gumdrops for dinner. Especially spice gumdrops.

Yeah, these were spice. They jumped into my hand at the drugstore last night!
Oh, I can have some of the zucchini bread I made last night as well, without any effort.

@@ I was thinking to use my garment bag for my trip tomorrow, but it's too short for my dress! Stupid male hegemony over luggage! It would be fine for a suit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
KYRIARCHY!!!!
Okay, maybe I just like the word.
Heading home now. Everyone else seems to have left.
