I'm so sorry for your loss sumi.

I do have an orange cat here that has taken to peeing on the bathmat if anyone wants to take him off my hands.

So for the last ten days (and prob. the next few weeks) I have been working in a department that is being split up and the offices sent to rural communities. It is where I have discovered the government is keeping all the good-looking men. Like, half the guys we've spoken to are hot.

If I had my time back, I would go into marine biology.

And the Democrats have adopted marriage equality as a plank in their platform.

Woot.

Kat, I have these Sophie Conran dishes. They are really nice and durable. I got a 12-piece, four place setting for about $120 CDN, so they were pretty reasonable. No mugs, though. (I have enough pottery mugs that I don't need any more.)

It drives me crazy that so many sets include mugs. Total waste.

Worse yet, teacups. Seriously, who uses teacups?

I never use saucers as saucers, either, but as little plates for toast or dessert. (Or as a lid for something I'm microwaving.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Teacups for icecream. Or berries, grapes, peach slices. I'm a fan of teacups.

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

Why should sets not have mugs? The reason I have more mugs is because I go through them faster than the rest of the dishes--I have twice as many glasses and mugs than I have place settings, minimum. But if I didn't have the mugs that came with the set, I'd just buy them singly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm going to Chicago Comic Con next week! I might get to meet Tom Felton! And get my picture taken with him! Woot!

OOOOH, fun! JEALOUS!

Oh, hey, btw (email me if you want privacy) I MAY be flying the kiddo into Raleigh, possibly.

Who's in that area, and if I DO end up flying him there to his grandmother's, any Buffistas in town? I'd be happy to arrange a flight back for the next day iffn anyone would want to see me and let me crash.

Like I said, we don't know yet, but I'm pretty sure there are Buffistas in the area.
