I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If we're county coffee beans I've had way more than one serving of fruit and veg today.

We've gotten a bit of snow here, finally. Just a dusting, though.

hip deep in pie

Just had chicken roast with garlic, rosemary, sea salt and olive oil, with carrots and potatoes roasted in pan. So yum! It helped that I was starving.

This also introduced Oz to home roasted chicken. His interest in the chicken was rather...intense. I think I need to watch that chicken closely.

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

Teen Batman series that never was. I'm all over it, myself. Except one of the pics looks like a pining Barbara Gordon, and that's not on.

Boss, please get out of your current meeting ASAP. I need to talk to you.

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

Growing up in LA in the 60s my neighbors from the east coast used to comment on how you could not get decent pizza there. When I finally tasted NY Pizza I understood what they were talking about. Been a long time since I've been in Southern California, and of course San Francisco is a different planet from LA as far as food is concerned. I gather that even if decent Pizza is now available in LA it is not common.

My co-editor, Kim, and her husband took me to a pizza place in L.A. last year that was the best I've ever had. When I get back down to L.A. in May I need to go back.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Teen Batman series that never was.

Oh man, that looks awesome. Alas!

Except one of the pics looks like a pining Barbara Gordon, and that's not on.

I wasn't really a fan of that direction in B:TAS either. But in the context of that hypothetical series, I can see why they would go there. At least they're the same age!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I keep a spare long-handled spatula by the door as a back up ice scraper (for when the car door is frozen shut and the ice scraper frozen inside.) It works really well.

My ice scraper was my ticket to LA.

Metafuckingphorically speaking.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My ice scraper was my ticket to LA.

I don't mean to start any sort of rivalry here, but... my ice scraper was longer.

have you seen my ice scraper? It's ginormous!

If we measure in time (and as a woman, I find that time is more important than mere dimensions of length), I think my ice scraper might have been longer.

FWIW.

Just spoke to a co-worker who went to Guadeloupe for Christmas. Took him 24 hours to get there, and 33 to get back. And I was bitching that it's no longer 5 hours to Jamaica. Shitcakes.
