I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Got my car out of impound, got a court date next Tuesday (need to come up with an adequate excuse for work as to WHY I need that particular day off as comp).

I've been working with special needs young adults, and one of them has a ridiculous (I thought) crush on one of the staff at her Center. But, hoo boy, I need to join her club. He's cute, he's got a southern accent, he's got a cowboy hat, and he's ridiculously kind. Damn, he's married. Me and Dani will have to bond over the highschool flutters in our hearts. She actually shudders when she talks about him, and I'm so right on board.

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

Speaking of shuddering, I need to update my drawing challenge pic with a less crappy scan than the machine at work.

Does anyone know anything about the Da Vinci drama (not the coroner kind) coming on Starz? And does anyone know enough about actual Da Vinci to estimate the bullshit quotient?

Consuela, you definitely are playing the right cards for working your way into another job. I bow in your direction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Today's lesson from reality-TV court shows: if you meet a man who is "working" as a drug dealer, don't have a six-year relationship and a child with him. Also, don't attack him with a box cutter.

Damn, all I got out of it yesterday was that if your car catches fire on your way to visit friends, do not park it in their driveway. Furthermore, if you do make the choice to bring fire onto another's property and it then spreads to the house, "I didn't set fire to my car on purpose" is not an adequate defence.

I just had a lesson I already learned reinforced today. Sigh. Never trust the instrument teams. Also, I can still read code well enough to figure out up from down. Ehn.

It's a scotch sort of night.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, I saw that one!

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

So, I decided to make carrot top and radish green pesto (substituting feta for half the parmesan and leaving out the pine nuts entirely because that's the way my pantry shook out)and it's pretty dang tasty! How about that?

What is the (please forgive me) essence that makes pesto pesto?

And, shit, I want to punch a fic-writer because her updates are ceasing to be enough in either quantity or frequency, but most importantly length.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Myself, I don't believe in all these non-traditional pestos. I mean, I'm sure they are delicious, but not pesto.

Oh, also, I have determined I enjoy pesto when it's cooked, so that's good.
