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.

Smart people can be stupid too
(delurking briefly because apparently I care about dishes)
I recently picked these over the Sophie Conran ones Sue linked which I also really liked. They are less interesting but also much cheaper (and we needed a lot due to big family).
I like having matchy mugs but totally understand the feeling that they're a waste, we have a million mugs from all over (souvenirs, gifts, craft projects etc.) but I like using them for cereal and soup and drink lots of tea (At least that's how I justify).
(and now back to my regular scheduled lurking) Edit: fixed lazy typos
