No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Getting some snow-ish precipitation here. Well, I didn't have anything I needed to do outside the house, so I'll deal.

My dad is back on the hiking bandwagon. Good: he gets to go hiking on Saturdays and I get a regular schedule of visits out there. Bad: I can't sleep in or go for a run on Saturday mornings.

My cream of wheat is disappointing this morning. I think it needed more butter.

I went to the BevMo sale yesterday and now I have almost 2 cases of wine in my closet. But I can never remember how much I spent on anything and I have a hard time remembering the wines I really liked.

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

I needed to quote from The Princess Bride this week, and had to spend *so* much time searching my apartment to find out if I had it (I still haven't properly dealt with what books I lost in Katrina), that I feel I just want everything on my Nook right now. That's so much simpler. I didn't think I'd fall for the technology this hard.

But, my Princess Bride issue is now pleasantly resolved.

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

Oo thanks for the reminder Suela, I should go to BevMo while the sale is on. It's pretty much the only time I get there.

Can anyone tell me what's the deal with Intelligensia coffee? I've tried it several times now and I don't think it's all that. Why is LA in love with Intelligensia? Oo, that also reminds me, if I want to get some good medium roast coffee I should order it from Dale.

Intelligentsia has made it to LA? Huh.

Dang. My coffee is not intelligent.

So do you understand the love, brenda? What am I missing?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need to figure out if I want to reup my Costco membership. Not sure what would tip the scales for me.

Cheapest gas in town? Admittedly, that can't be the only reason; it's not worth $50.

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

There's a Costco near-ish to work, but not one that near to where I live. Even if I did the math to determine if driving extra to get the gas was worth it, I know I'm sufficiently lame that I won't do it.

Then again, I haven't started pumping premium yet...

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

The cheap gas is a compelling argument actually. As is the fresh fish, I ate a lot more of it when I was dropping by there on a regular basis. And the ginormagon bags of fresh, cook-at-home tortillas. And the booze.

sigh. Look at that list. My life is just one big trip to the grocery store, isn't it?

Oo, did I mention the beauty store near my house that now carries Zoya? So excited!
