Xander ,'Empty Places'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I actually friended him. This is in part out of blatant self-interest as my job is virtual identity ( [link] ).
But it's so weird...I didn't think any of that stuff had really gotten to me, and yet, when my phone chirped to tell me I had an FB notification, and I saw what it was...dude. Borderline anxiety attack.
There's fresh pumpkin bread downstairs
I know there's supposed to be a shortage of decorative pumpkin, especially in the Northeast, because of the long spring rainy season, some weird fungus, and then Irene fucking them over. However, I read things saying that there should be no shortage of canned pumpkin (something to do with the Libby pumpkin fields -- plantations? -- being in Illinois and not affected by bad weather, etc).
But let me tell you, it is damn near impossible to find that stuff, even in really big stores like Meijer. I found 8 of the 16-oz cans at Meijer yesterday and was sorely tempted to buy them all. But I only bought 3.
We keep some on hand year-round for the dog, but beyond that, I MUST HAVE PUMPKIN FOODS. We hit autumn and it's no joke, man. Gotta have the punkin.
I'm really tempted to send a message saying, "I never even knew you on the board, I always thought your were-monkey bite was bullshit, and you're a miserable human being. Fuck off."
Or, "How's that resurrection working out for you? Or is it more of a zombie thing?"
It's sadly a box mix, Steph. I haven't been able to get pumpkin the last two times I looked, and I'm panicking. I need my pies! And my pumpkin cookies!
OK. Thanks for clearing it up, Tom.
Same thing. I was thinking he was lurking, saw Suela's story, and wanted attention?
Or... Gus IS Jess! See how similar the names are?!
I got a friend request too. Which... just a data point, really. I wasn't that affected first time around.

I posted something like this on his wall when I friended him.
Oh Raq-- I really want to know what the reaction is.
Signed, Morbidly Interested.
I saw that, Raq. I sort of wish he'd replied to that. I must not rate high on the sock puppet radar, thank goodness.
I have no problem getting canned pumpkin at our Aldi. Just saying. people should visit and I'll make pumpkin muffins and/or pumpkin pancakes.
I did not get a friend request, either. Wah wah. I did see he has 3 friends total, all buffistas. Creepy!
