All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Lee, I hate when that happens. Stupid things that require you do other things never intended.
aurelia, I'm going with awesome, leaving the reasons for the need for caped crusaders out of it.

Why aren't there vegetables?
I'm not sure, but I was told that it has to do with the Spanish attitude about eating out--that you get rich food when you eat out, and vegetables are for eating at home. So it's not that Spaniards don't eat vegetables, but that there isn't a practice of offering them in restaurants & cafes.
That said, the two meals we had in a private Spanish house involved Spanish omelet (tortilla espanola, they call it), steak, and hard-boiled eggs stuffed with tuna. And a cold tomato salad with balsamic vinegar. ::shrugs::

Those items are probably more useful than this one. [link]

Love that article, le nub!
And I am giving up on Pottermore for the day -- ot at least a while. I don't know if it's my laptop or me, but I can't seem to get over 23 on a spell and I can't lift my jar of Flobberworm whatever-it-is. Seriously, there's a bug; I can lift my bottle of Lethe just fine.
My friend just rescheduled Hunger Games, so maybe I'll make Dan show me how to play the new Resident Evil game, for some straighforward brutal hacking and shooting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
check out this cat fucking with a bear.
I love how the cat's tail isn't even fluffed. He's just like, "Bear? You're not even supposed to be here today, bear. Get outta here. I have back fur to wash and you're bothering me."
When I had tapas in Barcelona one of the plates had artichokes. Deep fried, but they were vegetables. Still, veg wasn't really a focus on the menu.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Erin, I had that problem, too. You have to hit the next letter when the spell gets to it to get it to continue.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
K-Bug and I went to an Arts and Crafts fair that turned out disappointing. I did find some awesome fig balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Then we went to a western wear store and she bought a pair of great boots.
I'd love to find myself some cowboy boots but it is tough with thick calves.
