Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

OMG, I have to NEVER EVER BUY the TJ's

I have more than one promises that start exactly this way. Because if I buy x, I eat ALL of the x.

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

My current TJ fav is a dark chocolate bar with toffee walnuts and black salt. Egad, sooo gooood. But I hear they are discontinuing them, so I am buying up many of them now, while they are still around. As good as Voseges (or whatever those fancy chocolates are) but seriously 1/3rd the cost.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Valrhona? Nom.

As soon as the Christmas assortment chocolate-covered JoJos come in, I'm buying at least six boxes. Maybe a dozen. Crack, I tell you. And almond bark.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Why do some bruises take so long to bloom? During the test last night another ninja stomped on my big toe. It hurt at the time but so did everything else. It looked fine when I took my shoes off and I kinda forgot about it. This evening I stepped funny and my toe hurt. It has a big ole bruise now. Strange badge of honor for the testing experience.

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

I don't like dark chocolate generally, but I'll have to pick that up for Dan's Xmas stocking.

We're going to see Contagion tomorrow (a student gave me a pair of movie passes at the end of the year -- so sweet!)

First time I've been in an actual theatre since our 2nd date in 2009 (which was Wolverine, which tells you a lot about how we ended up married, because we were both "WOLVER-FUCKING-RINE & sushi! Perfect date!"

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

There's never been a b.org utility to download files, Connie. Threadsuck is as close as you were going to get.

Man, it would be cool if these were real cakes.

Skipping (way less than last night's one-small-click-of-the-mouse-one-giant-leap-for-threadkind) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is erikaj's birthday.

Happy birthday, erika! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Before the end of rent control, Beacon Hill had some pretty skanky, cheap rentals shoulder-by-shoulder with luxurious townhouses. I definitely remember seeing a coin-op laundromat, but that's more than 10 years ago easily.

And that was back in the days when there was a condo parking garage, where you bought a space for more than most houses and paid a monthly fee. (It's still there, you could Google for the latest sale prices if you want to be boggled.)

You still saw a lot of beaters parked on the street, like most neighborhoods in Boston, there was permit-only parking but with pretty stiff street-cleaning schedules, and meter maids circling the blocks like vultures.
