Oh, good to hear, Sean.
Weather here is just so nuts. I thought the rain would last all day, but it dissipated and it's bright and sunny. I'm at work by myself, just plodding along. Lots going on in town this weekend...
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
IF that's crazy... it's raining in Southern California... in the summer time! Not sure how often that happens. But, I'd say it's rare. Granted, the "rain" is more a drizzle to those of us who know precipitation. But still. Water falling from the sky in the desert.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It disturbs me that I'm finding 84degF to be rather comfortable.
But it's not very humid, so I guess that's the difference. It's rarely not-humid here.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So there's a bit of a kerfuffle - or rather, a could-be kerfuffle - on one of the pictures that was posted of the wedding Emeline and I were just in. My stepmother-in-law made a comment that she must be old because she just doesn't understand flip-flops as wedding attire. Now, frankly, I wasn't wild about the idea, but we had cute sundresses, it was an outdoor wedding in the grass, and it was hotter than blazes. The day of, I switched from my heels to my flip flops as soon as I could.
Anyway, the bride saw the comment and responded pretty ... snappishly. Part of me wants to email the bride and say, "It's SMIL - she would never mean to say something shitty." But the other part, knows she said something that really didn't need to be said where the bride could SEE it and she can fight her own battles should she choose to.
People. Sheesh.

Wait, was the bride wearing flipflops, Aimee? Or directing you to put them on? I don't get it...
There was a thunderstorm here in Seattle--thunder and lightning and rain! So weird...so not Seattle.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"It's SMIL - she would never mean to say something shitty."
But...didn't she? She's a grown up. What does "never mean to" mean in the face of having done so?

The bride wasn't wearing flip flops but the bridesmaids were. We could wear whatever footwear we wanted. We chose flip flops.

It's my half-assed way of trying to excuse someone I love for saying something shitty. *shrug*

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Today has been a lovely day, so I'm having it as fake-birthday. I'm listening to the audiobook of American Gods. How have I spent 33 years on this earth without discovering Neil Gaiman?
Sean, I get (what sounds like) similar gassy/burpy/over-full/nauseous stuff with the gluten intolerance. Definitely sounds like it's worth looking into intolerances. I agree with EpicTangent about trying a day or two without certain things in your diet.

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

We didn't try hard enough?
