Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, shit. This never ends well. The bit where I read my mail, I mean.

Wow. That person sure is special. Oh, I meant to share my latest here -- the teaser email ended with "and now I have a big warm...." which he did complete with "problem. :)" OK then.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I didn't even know Conan O'Brian is filming in Chicago this week.

Here's what he did yesterday:

10-Foot Bratwurst Jumps 80 Feet Across Chicago's State Street Bridge @ TeamCoco.com

Conan attempts to launch a 10 foot bratwurst across a drawbridge, for no good reason at all.

eta: A video.

hip deep in pie

It is 2:30 and I still full of the gronk. Days and days of not getting quite enough sleep are catching up with me. I am cranky/sad/useless today. And I have my cooking class tonight, so that means I won't get home until at least 10 pm. I predict tarte disasters in the kitchen.

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

Woe! My shower is not working. No water comes forth! I need a shower. Not just to get clean but to wake up and function.

There's all kinds of construction/destruction pipe digging up in our neighborhood. I hope it's only temporarily turned off. However, we still have sink water so that seems less likely and we might have a problem.

I need my shower, dammit!

Our wings are not tired.

The 'don't read the comments' rule does not apply for a change.

Takes a moment to be grateful Internet type sites were not around when I was dating. I can see where the anonymous delete action could be helpful, but the stories I read here are not encouraging.

Showers are an important thing; hope you have that option again soon, David.

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

the stories I read here are not encouraging

Jesse has tons of good stories from online dating, not to mention the people who found their spouses that way, like bon, or Lisa from Anarachy. I don't think there are more weirdos as a result--and, in fact, it makes them much easier to step around.

Imagine his equivalent in a bar, or a krav class, or at a friend's party...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think the last time I dated someone I met anywhere other than an online dating site, we met at a speed-dating event! I am not good at meeting people.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Strix met D on OK Cupid. Kate P met her husband there, too. It lets you learn something about a larger number and variety of people than just about anything else I can think of. Numbers game, there's going to be some wackos on the bell curve.

Plus, hilarious stories!!
