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

Now you're publishing Anne Frank RPF???

And it's not even gen! It's just...I have issues.

Why are Apple Jacks so incredibly nasty and also in every fun pack of ten ridiculous sugar-filled cereals? I wouldn't be able to tell if one was to be recalled.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

2 out of the four cereals recalled are in my pantry, unopened.

Art Crawl!!!

Having a stupid day: took a shower and then fell asleep. Slept past the point where I could catch the bus to go to my counselor's.

Sigh.

Maybe they aren't the stinky ones! I only buy the single serving fun packs, so I'm not paying attention to the recall, myself. I'm an Alpen devotee.

Weekend plans: LEAVING THE HOUSE, OMG. Friend's birthday party tomorrow, dim sum and movies on Sunday.

One of the reasons I am envious of L.A. and NYC peeps: you have all those tiny, inexpensive fashion "boutiques". I know I could probably find the sort of jacket I'm looking for in one of those in about 5 minutes, whereas the interwebs are thwarting me.

Seriously people? Now you're publishing Anne Frank RPF???

See, I don't see this as weird or troubling at all. Do you read other books about the fictionalized lives of famous people? OK, maybe you don't, but there are lots of those published every year that nobody gets too upset about. I know there's been a bit of an uproar about this one, but to me it's no different just because her story was so tragic or she was so young. I've actually been looking forward to reading it.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

They make her have sex where she didn't. I get all pearl-clutchy then, even when it's not a minor.

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

This weekend: seeing the Ple Fam and the Matilda and Lilly Show. Taking them to the Mission with P-Cow. Then brunch on Sunday at Perkins for more Buffista fun.

Yeah!

I need to update some people:

ita - Emmett's been going to Krav camp all week, 9am to 1pm every day. He loves it even more than his regular Krav class. In part because the last hour of the class is with the adult class and it's much more intense. The instructors love him and the owner told Emily that he thought if Emmett kept at this pace he could be an instructor in three years. It's really making him much more buff. His chest is deeper and his shoulders are broader and his arms are beefier.

Vortex (and ita and other people who aren't Perkins) - I was thinking of you when I was stuck for lunch the other day and facing a sad can of black beans. But, we had some bacon in the fridge so I cooked that up, and cut it up and made a bacon and black bean soup. Very garlicky with some fresh salsa, and richer than I've had it before because I didn't waste the bacon grease. Sooooo good.

P-Cow - Have you gone to Grocery Outlet in Berkeley? Holy shit, that's a bargain center. I went in somewhat fearfully expecting Slovenian tinned meat labeled "Skunch." But no! I got Annie's mac and cheese for a dollar a box! There's some intriguing off-brand stuff, of course, but lots of national brands as well. For example, I know which Haagen Dazs ice cream out of the Five line was least successful because they had tons of the Brown Sugar ice cream there. (Now I want to try it.)
