Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Beverly, can you point me to your friend's store? I could use some encouragement via someone else's success.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Pretty much the only time I wear pajamas is at the F2F. You're welcome.

I go a fairly long time without changing sheets but I am a night showerer who sleeps alone. I don't see much point in doing it frequently.

Bits n bobs of old silver, like salt cellars and teeny tiny funnels? check.

Oooh. I may want to talk to you about the teeny-tiny funnels. Those are good for filling teeny-tiny perfume bottles.

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

EIGHT YEARS.

Fucking hell, we're old.

Remember how I told you V-Day was a bad idea? Yeah, shows how much I know about shit. Although I'm going to crinkle my nose at the day, I will raise a virtual glass to you two cuties.

That's what they are for.

My great-aunt worked for Estee Lauder...the actual woman. And was an international cosmetics model for Alexandra de Markoff.

I've also got a set of commemorative brandy snifters for an Houbigant event.

And a Cappe de Monde handkerchief box featuring a Satyr and her children.

So MUCH stuff I have had a hard time letting go of...not because I want to use it, but because I don't really know how to sell it intelligently.

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

I know! We're buying iphones and doing dinner on the 18th. EIGHT YEARS.

Good lord. I can't believe I met you when you were still in law school.

So nifty! I may send you questioning email about this, later. But for now, I need to go take a bath.

I can believe you all left Michigan.

Still can't believe Aimee and Joe went back there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't think so, since those are usually purple outside.

This made me curious, because all the ones I've had have been white, so I Googled.

Most are white [link] but one kind, the Okinawan purple potato/Okinawan yam is purple. [link]

Cool. I shall have to look for those.
