You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

So, if I'm wearing a striped sweater (pink, grey, black, a couple shdes of purple) and green corduroys, does that count as color blocking?

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

I have a vague memory of a similar instance in "Scarecrow and Mrs. King" and a much surer recollection of one from "Due South".

The exact same line in a rescue scenario in a response to the rescued person's compliment? I know there is a larger trope, but these four shows have identical scenes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There was live music in my supermarket yesterday. What??

There is a Whole Foods here that has a stage... next to the bar. And there is a separate wine bar on the other side of the store.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Like, what, a band in the deli? What kind of music?

A keyboard and sax playing like smooth jazz by the checkout. I seriously thought it was new muzak until I got to that part of the store.

That sounds like they are set up to be all fancy, though.

Actually, there was a burrito place by my old house (and also multiple music schools) that had a regular open mike shoved between the tables and the door.

I think I kind of love it.

Speaking of supermarkets, has Safeway decided that other cities are not profitable enough or is Chicago just that special? Note I didn't say not profitable; just not profitable enough.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would KILL for a Safeway here. Their gluten-free mac and cheese is THE BOMB. I seriously brought home 4 boxes of it from our honeymoon.

I am not ashamed.

Ping me when you're out and I'll hook you up with more.

hwæt

I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of gluten-free pasta. Gluten is pasta's raison d'être!
