Vortex, that sucks, but may it be a blessing in disguise. Or at the very least, some nice downtime while you find a better job.
ION, Cupcake chardonnay? Pretty decent. (Does not taste like cupcakes. I wouldn't have bought it if I thought it did.)
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I really like the Cupcake brand of wines. It's reasonable priced and yummy. Apparently they make vodka now too.

The chardonnay got a really good Wine Spectator rating (88/100), and it's a $9-14 wine, depending on where you buy it. This is how the winery describes it:
Decadent levels of butter, cream, bright citrus and vanilla melt into a balance of oak and subtle spice.
Buttery, oaky chardonnay is my OTChardonnay. Oh hell yeah.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I got back home to Pennsylvania, and there was a dead mouse in my kitchen to greet me. Lovely. I told my landlords and then went out for a while, and when I came back, the mouse was gone. I prefer not to know details.
I also got some of those Second Skin things that were recommended for burns, and, while I can't really judge how well they actually work based on just a few hours, it is keeping me from poking at the burn, which is probably good.
Plus, I discovered that my local library has Mad Men DVDs. When that show started, my cable system didn't have AMC, so I never really got into it, but everyone keeps telling me that I should watch it.

I don't drink chardonnay, but I love all of their reds.

Thrive to spite them
Maddie got out of the house. 1 of the living room windows has a screen on the top but not the bottom. I accidentally opened it and didn't realize it.
I started hearing a weird thumping noise and Maddie was at the OTHER living room window leaning against the screen. She'd jumped up on the meters. No meow. She just doesn't.
There was no way for her to get back up in the other window (at least for her she's not a good jumper). But DEAN was in the window. I grabbed him, ran around the house, grabbed Maddie.
When I was walking back I told the landlady's SO about it, and he went and looked at it and discovered the screen just needed to be pulled down.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Bitches, do you know who keeps the Nail Polish Box list or should I ask in Natter? I'm organizing and have realized I have at least three doubles.

Luckily she doesn't stray far. Dean would have wandered off, I think he was ready to jump down and try his chances.
