Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It was 65-68 all day here, as far as I could tell. Both outside and in my office.

Punishingly Intricate

I use the microwave to melt butter and heat up leftovers sometimes. And defrost stock most of the way if I've forgotten to take it out of the freezer in time. The microwave broke a couple of years ago and can only be set in 30 second increments which is kind of a pain in the ass. I could live w/out the microwave, if I had to, but would miss it.

I really want some ice cream (even though it is now FALL, evidently) and we have no ice cream. wah wah

I use the microwave all the time, mostly to avoid dirtying a pot, because I can hear things in the plate or bowl I'll eat them out of.

I saw broadway or bust last night, and it was both adorable and horribly awkward. Omg.

And I totally heart both Pink and Ellen, and should totally find that on you tube.

Also, I just ran a whole mile! I mean, without stopping to walk. I was very proud. I haven't done that in forever.

Who needs a microwave?

Me, me, me. My built-in microwave died about five months ago and I haven't been able to get it fixed yet. I like to make food for more than one meal and reheat it, and I keep burning things trying to reheat them on the stove. I had timed how long it took to heat water to the best coffee-brewing temperature. Almost no frozen dinners are reheatable in the oven. Also, I love the microwave-in-bag vegetables.

Dear microwave, I miss you so much.

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

Then again - used microwaves seem kind of dodgy.

My mother got rid of her microwave when she redid her kitchen. Hey, it's her kitchen, but it's a pain in the ass when visiting :)

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

Man, I don't have the right clothes for Jamaica. I normally wear jeans through the summer, and am just not outside that much. Most of my skirts are not laze around the water skirts, or eat dinner after lazing around the water skirts.

Seven million t-shirts I can do, though. 4 or 5 Supernatural and 1 Batman is the current plan. And seven million books on the Nook, although there's wi fi, so I can always get more.

Cousin who wanted "a tablet" actually decided she wanted an iPad 3. Thank fucking god she specified, because it's not like there's anything *nearly* like an iPad (despite what the courts say--I fiddled with all the thin form factor tablets in Best Buy, and Samsung got shafted, because you can't tell any of them apart at 5 paces).

You know when you're doing a bit, and the other person fucks with your timing? Like, he keeps stretching it out, and keeps not giving you an natural ending? And at some point you realise you've been doing a Valley Girl bit on the miracle of telephones (and the little people inside them) for five minutes, and he just keeps drawing you out, without actually contributing, and the guy over the cube wall (who shouldn't laugh, because he'll always be Chris #3) is probably totally rolling his eyes at you by now? Yeah, that. I hate when that happens.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Chip is a beautiful horse. He looks a bit confused by Joey.
