Matt - so very sorry. My condolences to your cousin and your family.
I have nothing to say on tattoo artists, but Jilli's are very cool, always.
Happy new year, Natter!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My sympathies to your family, Matt.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Which? Yay. I am pretty sure that longer and colder winters would make me unhappy.
Yes, I am often driven to despair by my longer and colder southern hemisphere winters.

I'm sorry, Matt.
So, I've decided to move toward more of a Mediterranean diet, and today I baked my first pitas. They turned out pretty well.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Did they get poofy?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did they get poofy?
We made pitas at the bakery I worked at in Madison. I was amazed that almost all of them got poofy. (Which they needed to, as we sold many to restaurants for pita sandwiches.)

Thanks for the support, everyone.
Ah co-worker, don't ever change. When I answered her question about how late I'd be staying tonight, she replied "I'll be here longer than that" as if she wanted me to give her a cookie.

Condolences, Matt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I stumbled on getting a word out in a meeting with a gruff director I don't talk to much--I could not say "inviolable" to save my life. In fact, I'm still second guessing myself.
However, stumbling and righting yourself with "Oh, never mind--impregnable, then" seems to be a real crowd pleaser.
IT'S VOCABULARY. IT'S NOT FOR LAUGHS.

None of my scheduled payments are showing up as transactions in my account, and yet the payees think they've been paid. Including my mortgage. Which is making me a little paranoid.
