Jesse, I turned it on late -- they bought the 1950s one, didn't they?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They were all 1950s ones! But the one they ended up with did not have the original wallpaper in the bathroom.
HGTV is a menace. To my productivity.

HGTV is my default channel. I'm addicted to House Hunters International now.

Remember back in days of old, when most people only had a single iPod? How did we survive back then?
It's like I can't even understand what you typed there.
The only iPods that are not currently used in the household collection are the ancient 1st gen iPod and the almost as ancient 1st gen Shuffle. And Pete has started making noises about maybe finally putting music on the 1st gen iPod, so he can use it with speakers in his studio.
(During my train ride down to PDX, I texted Cass with "I am reading an ebook on an iPad, listening to a Nano, and texting you from an iPhone. I am a cliche, aren't I?"
She wrote back "And you work for Microsoft. Yes you are." )

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Trader Joe's mango is what we call "fresh" but not in a good way. Do American's say that? To mean somewhat bland and flavourless? It's also not ripe enough. It's literally, LITERALLY, the worst mango I've ever tasted.
Now that I don't exercise, I only tend to use my most recent iPod.

The status is NOT quo.
ita, my first experience with mangoes was fresh cut from a tree in Jamaica where my family was staying, and though Trader Joe's can't compete, I can say that I have had really good mangoes in the States. I suspect you got a particularly bad specimen.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Burrell, I'm glad you like the Gemma. It's definitely on my list for later. Right now I have on Nubar Noir layered with the silver glitter from the polish box, for maximum stage sparkly on Saturday. It came out great, if a little uneven on the glitter.
I was not productive yesterday. But I have been today so far. Dishes and laundry in, trash out, freezer and fridge cleared (still need to be wiped down), showerhead soaking in vinegar. Resting now waiting for period meds to kick in, and then tackling the master bedroom/bathroom.

We had a mango tree in our backyard in Florida, and they were delicious. But I've never had a Jamaican one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What 160,000 pounds of industrial printer ink looks like on a highway
All you wanted to do was have a smooth commute this morning but of course it takes you an addition two hours because of an overturned tracker-trailer, what a way to start the day right? Well this morning outside of Boston, we can imagine commuters were rubber-necking more than usual as they got to see one hell of a sight . . . 160,000 pounds of industrial printer ink splattered over a 500 foot stretch of road…

Art Crawl!!!
Oh, they must ship them green and then they never fully ripen. Lots of fruit with that problem.
