Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

The Sister You Know is living happily in her new(ish) condo in Boston and working for The Man, which is to say Harvard.

Heh, I am suddenly reminded of a quote of hers that was my tagline for a while:

My mother suggested to me this weekend that I should think on a 5 year plan about buying a house, and I was like, "Yeah, right after I buy myself a live elephant."

(NB: this quote is more than five years old.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm so sorry, Sean.

Luna is home, and in hiding again. Ah, well....

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

And she's not very fannish, so no MPREG.

But the best part about MPREG (as in--the only part I get anything out of) is with unfannish people.

Which leads me to a question I'm not google solving at work--is pony play et al. considered a subset of furries?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew, Luna!

I have never owned a microwave, but there was one in my old apartment. So I got used to it, and was sort of wondering if I'd regret not having one. Tonight I decided to have chili out of the freezer for dinner, and you know what? In a pot with a lid and low heat, it defrosted and heated up in the time it took to make corn muffins. Sweet. Who needs a microwave?

Me. There was a pot and a lid and more than 90 seconds in your example.

Just in terms of the fuss of hot cereal mine has been a total win after a decade without, almost.

I saw my first Resident Evil 5 trailer with Johann in it. Do I do what I told him and see it in theatres? I dunno...

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have lived without a microwave for about 10 years. Beau does not like them at all. I now have a microwave. We have not used it since we moved in. I don't even know if it works.

Who needs a microwave?

Me, too. I sautee onions in it, and reheat oatmeal, and melt butter for baking, and heat up my leftovers. I was at my brother's house in Chicago this weekend, and they have neither a microwave nor a toaster. (Nor an electric kettle.) But they rarely eat at home, either.

Why does he not like them? I mean, I did not needing one, or thinking they don't have sufficient purpose to exist, but not liking?

I love our nuker. I'm not sure the oven on our stove has ever been used.

ita,

I think he is just suspicious of it. And he thinks it changes the taste of food.
