I will!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have it set to record.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm recording it. DH is watching the Vikings/Packers game.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Tip of the day: do not wear a v-neck while baling hay.
Ha. Good to know.
Yesterday I spilled granola into my bosom through the keyhole opening in my keyhole shirt. Remember when we all bought those? Yeah, still love it. Except for the bit where it's a handy food storage compartment.

Managed to finish cleaning and swim and some minor shopping, but not much else today. Wine last night was good, but something (and I suspect that, I try to be sparing with red wine for a reason) left my stomach grumpy, which left for little motivation. At least no one barfed in the pool and I was able to do my two miles.
Neighbor is having her sewer line cleaned out. She has to do this about once a year, so she put in an external cleanout because then the city does it for free. I haven't had that problem (I think our tree sits on her line) but I fear it might happen, and don't really want to need to spend several $K to put one in. I think my warranty might cover it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hay baling and blacksmithing? Have we snapped back in time?
I...I drew today. With a pencil. It was very retro.

I made an apple crisp. Does that count?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I made beer. I'm not sure that's "old-fashioned" so much as "ya damn hippie".

Hey, I had a blacksmith at the bar after work! It was nummy. There was a blacksmith once at First Night in Concord, NH who said, while brandishing his fiery poker thingy, that if we gave him a quarter, he'd lick it. Wow, there's a whole lotta innuendo in there!
The hay thing wasn't as fun as the first time I'd done it, on a camping trip where we ended up helping an old farmer next to our tent site and wound up camping for free on his land and getting midnight boatrides on the lake and blackened eggs in the morning and salt cured bacon.

Those go hand in hand!
