Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It hurt because I think I'm Pam, but I guess to the 24-year-olds here, I'm Phyllis.

Yeah, no.

We got out at two, and I walked home the long/scenic way with my friend. It turned out to be 6 miles, which, huh. Now I am lounging. Tomorrow I have a day date that's supposed to include a museum, but we'll see. Other than that, maybe a movie, trip to Target, definitely some cooking (I'm thinking about corn chowder) and freelance work. Which I should be starting now....

I bought two ears of corn on Wednesday night. Did someone here mention how to nuke them in the microwave?

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

I think I'm going home early in a second. Yeah. I'm radical like that.

Take off the outer leaves of the husk and pull off the silk, then nuke them for 3 minutes per cob, roughly. They'll steam inside the husk.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The sad thing is that I'm in the upper echelon of "old people" in my Doctoral program.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Off Topic Amy's!

You know, this would be a good thread title.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Tomorrow starts with cat wrangling as it is time for the kitties' annual check-up. Tomorrow night we're going to see Stevie Nicks' concert.

The rest of the weekend is a bit more open, though I plan to get my twice-a-year haircut.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm all down with the Off-Topic Amys, but we gotta lose that apostrophe.

I never remove the silk when nuking corn - it's way easier to remove it from the cooked corn than it is raw.

Y'all have heard my celebrity encounter too often already.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thinking of you, Maria.

Half an hour till I can go home and collapse on the couch.

Because books.

we gotta lose that apostrophe

Of course.
