Not so sure about Altoids not multiplying like rabbits. After my mom died, we found over 10 Altoid tins, from unopened, to partially used, to empty. I honestly don't remember her as being an Altoid person. Will have to ask the kids...maybe she stocked the mints for them.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think my one grandmother had ribbon candy out, but I can't remember if it was just at holidays or not. It's been years and years, though.

Because books.
Anybody else watching the Grammys?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I was watching as I did dishes and made soup. So kind of.
Before that I watched Misfits. Swoon.

When I worked at Michael's, I stocked up on cross-stitch kits and also learned how to make bows--very handy!
I've got my grandma's candy bowl, which is a pottery piece that she apparently painted in a craft class back in the 1950s. She always had wrapped caramels and hard candy in it. I just keep it empty in my tv stand.
Oh, and I've got most of my weekend Onerous Task done! At least, I've cleaned all the clothes out of the drawers and closet, but I do still have to take care of the shelf in the closet and all the paperwork in the other drawers. I ended up with three bags of donations and six bags of garbage, and got my three very full drawers of old sweats and t-shirts down to one. My closet is reduced in half, and I even went through everything I had on the floor (except for the shoes), and finally found my blanket that had been hidden in the corner of the closet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finally got some drawing done. Yesterday was a complete waste of a day.

I love those La Vie La Vosgienne pastilles
Mmm, love those things.
The friend I just went to dinner with gave me this thing he called a cookie, but I think it more cakey, and said it's a New York thing. DELICIOUS is what it is--he said it took three hours to make, because it's three layers of different colored (very thin) marzipan cake (?), with raspberry jam between, coated in chocolate top and bottom. OM NOM NOM.
