The Internet-famous picture of a little girl eerily smiling in front of a burning house?
Link? I don't think I know it.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

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

Swear to dog, Jesse, I just almost posted "is it too early for wine?"
You're two and three hours ahead of me, so I say go for it.
Also, I feel bad for the kid--maybe it's being an oldest but I feel like his brother probably dragged him into it/warped him.

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

Matt,
Has the situation resolved itself?

Our wings are not tired.
one of her neighbors just donated his house to the local firehouse so they could burn it down for training purposes
Cool. The last time I picked someone up at the Syracuse airport they were doing a pretend plane crash thing with emergency vehicles and victims. And tons of flashing signs letting people know it was fake. It was fascinating.

That picture is awesome.
Unrelatedly, that cupcake had WAY too much frosting. I never would have thought such a thing could be possible (I would eat frosting with a spoon, happily), but they're these crazy cupcakes that have more frosting than cupcake: [link] Who knew I had an upper limit on frosting? (They said they can use less frosting for special orders, so the wedding cupcakes won't be insane.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think maybe the proper cupcake-to-frosting ratio is 1 part cupcake, 0.5 part frosting. Not 1 part cupcake, 1.5 parts frosting.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I prefer 1 part cupcake, 0.25 part frosting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, I hate that too-much frosting!
I went into the fridge to see about white wine and found a year-old bottle of prosecco! That's totally legit for day-drinking. (I mean, I knew I also have a bottle of vinho verde I bought last weekend. My refrigerator is not just a mystery wine cavern.)
Also, I realized I didn't have anything to eat hummus off of, but I do have flour tortillas, so I'm baking a couple of those up for later. Maybe I'll even shower!
