Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, yeah, but anthropologists will strip down at the least provocation.

Granted.

shrug

clothes fall off

holy shit. that's how I have ALWAYS been driving. I guess doing it wrong saves time.

Me too! I think I've only seen one person do the "hand over hand" thing, one old guy when I was a kid. I thought he was just having trouble with the steering wheel, he looked so awkward.

Hey, it's the best combo for laser hair removal!!

Does that work on chins??

Spent a good while at Lowes today, buying house and garden stuff. Tomorrow for installing it all. I'll get my sister's boyfriend to plant my new evergreens, in exchange for watching my sports channels.

I am done with my job of micromanagement, polite bitchery, and insane levels of judgment and criticism! mr. flea got us a cake from the Bonbonerie, a Victorian Dance Torte which involves ladyfingers, lemon, and sugar violets ans daffodils.

Of course, now Dillo is having a fit because he decided he doesn't like lemon cake and we must not love him.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

He *is* the boy who successfully lobbied for a *light-up* lightsaber lollipop. That's a hard standard to meet. Lemon cake does not light up.

Prove your love -- bake him a couple of funfetti cupcakes!

With Dillo, it's kind of chocolate or nothing. His attitude to chocolate is much like that of a stereotypical pre-menstrual cat-lady librarian.

Yeah... as I sit here eating a piece of chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, I kind of get that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats on being done with the job, flea! (?)

Two sounds about right: one for now, one for tomorrow breakfast. I've never heard of a funfetti cupcake before, though. I am suspicious of this unfamiliar treat.

It's just vanilla with sprinkles cooked in. And yes! For those of us who live alone, two cupcakes is ideal. Even if it's two for now and none for tomorrow!

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

The word "adult" as an adjective always makes me want to look around for Larry Flynt.

Well, yes, but look who's talking, adult fun-lady.

Lifehacker had a link to a recipe for mini-cakes baked in canning jars. They looked quite tasty. Had fruit in them. Better than this "funfetti" business. I don't trust it either.

Aw, man, now I feel like I should check behind the couch for Larry Flynt. You never know where he'll turn up.

Because books.

Completely random, but one of the neighbors looks exactly like Les Nessman.
