Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

Hec! All my hair cut off into a pixie today.

A banner day! No wonder you felt like celebrating.

I've never had a Sazerac, but they sound tasty. Are they tasty?

It's the very first cocktail!

Ooh! Pics, Brenda?

I went to a swing dance convention and had a good time. More in the morning. What I didn't know: the dance was listed as going to 12:30am, but that was just the competition/spectator part. Apparently people then start really dancing and go until like 5am. I, however, will not be doing that.

To market , to market, to buy a fresh... spinach?

Then home again, home again, jiggity-jig.

Or something like that.

Punishingly Intricate

Hivemind! We are about to leave the place in key west we've been staying in all week. Do we leave a tip for housekeeping? They haven't been here all week but will be cleaning our week's mess. What would you do?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is it a VRBO type situation? I have never tipped in that scenario (but then, I forget to tip housekeeping in hotels half the time, anyway), because usually there's a cleaning fee built into the cost.

Real estate company owned property but basically same as vrbo. I'm inclined not to tip but was seized with indecision!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'd tip a dollar for every night multiplied by the number of people who stayed in the place.

Back when I used to regularly stay in hotels for work (insert nostalgic sigh) I'd try to tip every day, to make sure that I hit the actual person who actually cleaned up that day.

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

Timelies all!

Another quiet weekend here.

Art Crawl!!!

About 45 minutes before I sign my new lease. (You've got to understand - it's been 17 years since I last moved.) I'm drinking tea and have the Dubai World Cup on tv. The announcers are British. They just pronounced Mario Gutierrez's name in such a bizarre way that I could never copy it. They didn't even pronounce "Mario" in a normal way. They had better luck with Jose Valdivia. (They just said Mario's name again - much, much better.)

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

Are you moving on the first? I'm glad you found a place to have a new lease on!

It's all grey here today, supposed tone thunderstorms tomorrow. Excellent reason to put off mowing my lawn just a little longer.
