I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Buffy ,'Lessons'


Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Mean Girls was "based on" nonfiction, too, wasn't it? So there you go.

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.

I think gumdrops will be dinner.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Thanks for all the condolences.

Hope you get some nice healing sleep, ita.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Amy, exactly.
