this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Apparently, eating chocolate all day is not the way to a more healthy weight. Go figure.

Willy Wonka lied to me!

Steph may get a ladyboner.

I'm not a Ryan Gosling fan (although I'm not opposed to him; I guess I'm neutral), but that shit is awesome. The "fl" ligature is HOTT.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In the winter, I just feel like the day is over when I get home and it's dark.

Yeah, I found it tough that it gets twilight at 4:30 in Boston in midwinter.

"I want more life light, fucker!"

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

mmm. ligatures.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I loved his stance on true italic, and the distinction between Didot and Boroni.

Yeah, Sylvester Graham lied--graham crackers are not the ideal food, at least not when eaten in quantity.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It is dark at 10:46 in the am right now. Because it is snowing.

My response to this is to make grape/apple cider jelly. I figure I might as well do it all while I've got the gigantic canner out of the pantry.

If I had bought those 99 cent tomatillos at the market, I would make salsa verde, too. But I didn't. So I will do a) work, and b) the slipshod cleaning I was supposed to do yesterday. I did get the trash out before the truck came, though, so yay me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Dear coworker, I know you're busy and have a carefully crafted persona built on eccentric and unpredictable crankiness, but just because I don't want to be your go-between for an issue that is completely yours is no reason to hang up on me. Happy Monday, a-hole.

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

It's tumblrs that have made me love Ryan Gosling, no lie. The original Hey Girl one, and him embracing it won me over. I've only seen him in one movie--the Steve Carrell one. He was pretty attractive in it, though.

Because books.

My introduction to Ryan Gosling was in Murder By Numbers, I think it was called (with Sandra Bullock). And he played a horrible person, but he was so incredibly talented, I couldn't look away.

Everything he says in interviews is more adorable than what went before. He's not really real, I think.
