I've half-seriously suggested that the city get a Tom Champion-signal that they can project from a searchlight atop City Hall when there's trouble.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

Love it! I find that most of the movies/books/etc I dislike fail at #14.

Off to see my folks this morning. Maybe I'll get a pedicure on the way home...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Gunfire or Fireworks? has been a common game around here this summer.
That's my neighborhood's motto. (It's usually gunfire. Sad but true.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am Steph, but subbing city for neighborhood.
I slept through the Running of the Bulls and Doggies and Donuts, and now it's storming on and off liek woah. I need to get myself going and hit the market (which is inside).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I get a migraine google alert, and the past couple of days it's been all Excedrin, all the time. Apparently it's off the market, and Excedrin Extra Strength is going for $144 and Excedrin Migraine for $245. As opposed to $10.
Man, I wish it worked so well for me I'd be desperate to buy it. I still can't work out when IV compazine is going to come back on the market. It's been months since I've had an effective anti-emetic. It's horrible horrible horrible.

Do you have a favourite mug/coffee/tea cup? What makes it your favourite? Is it something sentimental? About its provenance? Design? Or is it something about how it sits in your hand? Size? Shape? Colour?
I've just discovered that the company mugs they gave out a few months ago are really...handy. It's a similar shape to my cafeteria teacup set of four, but a couple of ounces bigger, so more tea. It took over from a Cafepress mug that had previously been my favourite because the stupid text (keep calm and have a profound bond) amused me, and I liked the black inside. I feel a bit guilty for cheating on it with a corporate mug, to be honest...
Do you have a favourite? I prefer four of mine, pretty much. Third up is my b.org mug. If all three of those are dirty, next up is the girls kick ass one from DX, and then they're all equal after that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My favorite mugs change. There's a lot of hand made pottery in NC, so sometimes I'll be in the mood for one of the ones I've bought. There's a nicely shaped green one with a tree on it that holds about 1.5 mug's worth of coffe that I've been using a lot lately. Other times I'll be in the mood for one of the Liberty print mugs from Target.
