Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

He's home and he's okay, but he's pretty upset, mostly with himself. We cancelled classes for this afternoon. The car looks pretty rough, but they said at the shop that the five grand would be without even opening it up; more damage might be evident when they did so, and they said that even spending all that it wouldn't end up looking right because the car is old enough that some of the trim just isn't available. Boo.

SO says that AWD wouldn't have helped him, he just got into the guardrail at the bottom of one of our curvy roads through the wash. He didn't call earlier because he thought it was okay, but at the shop it was clear how bad it was.

But honestly, the times I've gotten loose in that car have all been on the pavement, just hydroplaning. So he thinks it's all his fault, but I think probably he just lost traction and couldn't regain it.

He's been having nightmares a bunch, so he was also tired driving and doesn't think his reflexes were right. But I'm just glad he's okay. The damage is cosmetic, so I'm grateful for that.

Oh, boo, Liese. Glad he is OK, but that's not fun.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, Liese, accidents are so scary. I'm glad he's mostly ok.

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

I'm very glad he is okay, Liese.

Art Crawl!!!

I'm glad your SO is okay. Sounds like a scary accident.

Also - Woo hoo for Perkins and Kathy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Liese, so sorry for DH. You tell him cars can be banged up, but DH's CANNOT! I bet we could hammer out the bodywork and get some grey primer paint and get that there car all set up.

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

Oh, ugh, Liese. Glad he's okay, though.

Yay Perkins and Kathy!

I just had a weird lunch. Well, the eating part was normal. Peruvian food. Fucking delish. Hardcore. I sopped up all my gravy with the bread. I had lunch with a guy I have weird sort of unresolvable sexual tension with. Like, maybe there was a window, but it's gone now, but we still sort of project ourselves sexually towards each other.

It's mostly antagonistic with a lot of negging. I hadn't seen him in years, and it appears we might have grown up. Weird. He works just down the street.

Didn't Black Honey use to come in this? Why can I only find it in this or this? I'm a bit traumatised. I need my fix.

Because books.

Yikes, Liese. I'm glad he's all right.

I have the last one, ita. I didn't know there were others.

My memory is telling me I used to use a brush. However I seem to have lost simultaneously all my Black Honeys so I'm a bit discombobulated. I did pick up a couple of the almost lipsticks before lunch today. I'm toying with the combo.
