Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

egg custard [link] mmm with fresh nutmeg on top. I think I will make some tonight.

man, y'all are making me really want a clothesline. I want an umbrella style one that cranks up higher and spins.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Apartment living interferes with any external clothesline ideas I might have. Although we do have a neighbor who hangs clothes to dry from his balcony. (Also bunches of rope he finds. Yeah, I don't even know.) I'm not quite up for that. But I do have a drying rack for my bras and sweaters.

Egg custard = pudding?

Insomnia hit me again last night. One of the nice things about living with a cat--if I slump down on the sofa and pet him at 1:30 am, he's all, "I loooooove you, human! I'll totally eat you last! Puurrrrrrrrrrrr!" It doesn't quite make insomnia worth it, but at least someone's happy.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I hang dry most of my shirts, but just from hangers cause I don't have room for a clothesline.

I'm still stunned that we woke up to snow. It is only October 5th...wtf?!?!? It has melted already, but SNOW.

Finally, Buffistas rock like a rocking thing that rocks. I love being a part of this community.

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

My mind is blown. I had no idea what an egg custard was.

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

I read somewhere that pudding (in American usage) is custard thickened with starch, but when I wanted to make pudding and tried to look that up again, I couldn't find it. So possibly it was a dream.

Was dreaming about dim sum and specifically the ones filled with custard last night, so clearly that's the kind of thing I do dream about.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

One thing I actually miss about my old apartment is the heat, which tenants didn't control (or pay for). It was always an inferno, so I could dry jeans on a drying rack in my living room in a couple of hours.

Takes a little longer here.

I currently dry my clothes on these out on the patio or in the mud room if it is raining. [link] I used them inside in NYC.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, I was thinking "egg custard" was a specific regional dish. It's just custard.

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

I have no idea what this is. Apparently I have never had one.

Most custards are egg custards, I have discovered. By default, the custards and the creme brulees have way too eggy a taste for me to go through. Lucky for me egg nog is noggier than eggy. Woo hoo!
