I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's about right for when I picked it up.

The red tie thing is from the Reagan era, right? Because Nancy liked red, so the reporters who wore red ties would get called on more at press conferences. Or so goes the lore as I heard it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think so. Completely unpatterned ties are very Regis Philbin to me, even red.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Reeg was the same color shirt and tie set, remember that?? It's kind of nice to remember that there are weird trends for men as well, sometimes.

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

Looking at that photo of myself in the changing room made me actually get off my duff and get a couple new bras. I think the point at which you get a free pashmina with your brassieres is when you need to start sourcing them from ebay.

It is a kinda pretty pashmina, though.

And I walked past Teavana a number of times, and got two small bags of rooibos blends at Lupica instead. And although I wanted every pair of shoes at Aerosoles (and there's a sale...), especially these, but I just got a pair of the black and grey tweed ballet flats (very disappointing the lace ones didn't feel comfortable).

And saw Premium Rush which I found pretty disappointing for a JGL piece. Coulda been anyone--there was no there there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Mint simple syrup-- every recipe seems to involve heating the mint somehow, which I don't understand. So I do indeed just steep mint leaves in cooled simple syrup.

My sister just sent me pictures of the dress she's wearing to the wedding. It's this totally slinky tube thing in an aboriginal (I can't be more specific) print, and it's incredibly hot. And she has big chunky jewellery to go with it.

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

Yeah, that's how I do it. I usually ignite the rum I'm soaking the spearmint in.

Which I realize is not just simple syrup, but that's how I've done it.

Oh! Matt! I got the Olympics opening ceremonies disc! Thank you! Can I paypal your profile addy for the postage and whatnot?

Thanks Liese, but no need. Just enjoy the WTF-ery of several parts of the ceremony.

Okay, awesome, thanks.

Aww, Matt, thank you. I expect significant WTF-ery.

Okay, so I'm not going to look the most related, but this is my backup dress. Haven't decided on shoes.
