My favorite ginger ale is the homemade stuff they have at Big Bowl (one of the Lettuce Entertain You restaurants). I think it's real ginger infused into fizzy water with some sugar added--whatever it is, it's delish!
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Danny Elfman/Tim Burton box set.
Okay, I really read that wrong. I saw "Danny Elfman/Tim Burton bot sex."
Chicagoistas, I totes just bought today's LivingSocial deal for Viceroy of India, so we should go eat there sometime soon.
Oooh, that sounds good.
I don't like my water fizzy. The only carbonation I get any more is the occasional beer.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh.
I think the furnace just kicked on. Yay kettles of boiling water to the rescue!
Cars are still a nogo, though. One battery is completely dead. The other turns over, but doesn't start. I did try to jump the one, but I think it's too far gone.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Or maybe not.
I am totally reduced to cargo cult status at this point. I am just waving my arms at things hoping that if I wave them right things will work. The reality is, things will probably work after tomorrow when the temperature rises above freezing. But other than that, it's just superstition.

(Also, if there is Tim Burton/Danny Elfman RPF out there, I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.)
(Which, yes, is somewhat hypocritical, considering I do read RPF, but still. I have boundaries.)
(I also like parentheses!)

Wow. I just zoned out for half an hour. At least I'm not as sleepy now! Heading out in another half hour for a swim.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I found Colin RPF yesterday. I read it, and I don't understand what happened.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Is that because of the writing, or your brain protecting you?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I went out, ran 6 errands and made it home safely. Only time I really slid was making the turn back into my driveway. YAY! And now we have donuts for tomorrow, and Boston Market for tonight and I have SOcial Network to watch and meds for tomorrow. The cats have food and I bought mac a scoop of his favorite ice cream. Also, it was enough outside to keep me from going stircrazy.
