The comments on Nick Ashford's (of Ashford and Simpson) obituary are incredibly sweet and touching. Occasionally newspaper comments are a good thing. [link]
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

That manicure reminded me - for DCistas - the Aveda store/salon in Georgetown has a good selection of nail polish, including a limited number of Zoya polishes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kat, I totally get where K's coming from. I won't schedule two kid included trips close together for the sake of my sanity.
Why is it only Tuesday? The kids have 8 days of summer left and I am ready for them to go back to school.

Ugh, Maria. I'm so sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, Maria. So sorry.
Last night I called up a childhood friend I hadn't spoken to in years and got him to agree to be bait to find a guy to dress in men's lingerie for me. I'm not sure how we got there in ten minutes, but...sometimes it's really like no time has passed.
He also mention he just broke up with his lesbian girlfriend, saying that lesbians found him attractive and straight women found him confusing. Which? Yeah. I think we all think he's gay.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I just want to cry but I just boarded my second plane of the day to go to my soon-to-be former company for final transition and my farewell party. The prospective company couldn't get past the NDA and no-compete. They said my current company has burned them before.
I really don't want the job I took, but with DH's condition right now, we need to have the steady income.

Oh, Maria, I'm so sorry. What a shitty situation all around.
