But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

Because books.

Just that plain and smooth and rounded? That would be really pretty.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I have two silver cuffs. They're just not the silver cuffs.

Is this like how I have multiple stripey blazers, but they're not the stripey blazer I'm still coveting?

I just did a quick browse of Etsy, but didn't see what you were looking for there.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm reading Mark Reads where he's actually re-reading Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone and in the comments they're going off on the itchy impulse to sort characters from other shows into houses.

And somebody said Mal and Zoe were in Slytyherin!

And the Doctor was a Huffelpuff!

I can't defend the fact that this annoys me no end.

Like, how could Mal and Zoe be anything but Gryffindor? Frankly, they're way more Gryffindor than Hermione (Ravenclaw) and Neville (Huffelpuff). And the Doctor is the very definition of Ravenclaw!

Share my outrage.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need a weekend away from LA. Where should I go?

What do you want: away from it all quiet time chill out? Or see cool people and cool things and eat tasty treats?

Quiet chill out, maybe a very nice dinner, and perhaps ocean air.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Perkins!

Racoons: we have a family of them hanging out on our roof. I disapprove of them for pooping in the backyard, but husband lurves the bandit-eyed critters.

Which, speaking of the huband, I am a bit envious of youse who married young enough to be married now longer than you were single. I got married when I was 102, at this rate I'll need to be married 90 more years before that happens.

Allyson, I love traveling in California. You could go to Ojai or Santa Barbara, or maybe along the central coast to Cambria, Big Sur or Cayucos. All lovely in their own way. Or go to San Fran and hang out with some lurvly buffistae.

Santa Barbara, or cheap trip to Mexico on the coast. Like Oaxaca.

The status is NOT quo.

Hello. I am a drive-by Buffista who’s drowning in work (loving it, but still). Miss you all.

ETA: ...and that’s all the time I have before I have to go to bed. So glad tomorrow’s Friday.
