So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It looks like lots of different sorts of breads with fillings, lots of beans and rice, a bunch of things made with squash, and most of the sauces are heavy on the onions, garlic, peppers, and parsley or cilantro.

That all sounds yummy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just RSVPd to come to work in the middle of the night for the MSL landing.

I AM NERDCAKES.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Aww, nerdcakes! I would totally do that too, given the chance.

They ran out of room here, so we have to go to Pasadena City College. BOO!

BOO I SAY.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So I finally have an official diagnosis to go with my cough, which has been going on for 7+ weeks now. But it's an acronym so I don't quite remember the order: PIRADS? PRIADS? Post viral cough basically. I want it OVER. Even if I need to take steroids to make it go away, dang it.

I've had post-infection asthma, and my reaction was the same: wait, "post-infection" means the infection is OVER, so -- there should be no asthma!

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

I've strained my lime cordial and now I'm trying it with some fizzy water, but I can't tell if it tastes right. I think I'm going to have to get some gin. What's a good gin, bearing in mind I really only like it in gimlets?

Sorry about the cough, Burrell.

Yeah Steph, it's like a free gift with purchase, bummer division.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boo, Burrell. At least a diagnosis is validating?

I went to a cooking class! It was fun. And I picked it because I came home with four+ meals for the freezer. Sweet! AND I heard from another woman in the class that "Cooking for Singles" wasn't as depressing as I had feared it would be, and it's the same teacher, and he's a good time, so. I may take that next.

But now I'm exhausted. And have plans tomorrow night, too. Zzzzzzz.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You'd probably like Hendrick's, -t. It's infused with rose & cucumber after distilling, so it's considered a "distilled" gin (which is a ridiculous designation for a distilled liquid, but whatevs), and is much less juniper-y/dry/high-proof than your London dry gins, like Tanqueray or Broker's. I'm not a big London dry fan, but I love me some Hendrick's.
