Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I honestly don't know if I should be proud of knowing that bit of random 80s television trivia or hand my head in shame that I know the events leading up to the Birth of Urkel.

Did I do thaaat?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was really confused, because I got Family Matters mixed up with Step by Step.

Jesse, that sounds pretty awful. At least y'all can commiserate? I can't imagine getting dumpe after proposing! But I have lost my job, that's for sure.

There will be a lot of commiserating! Also liquor.

I've washed my hands, like, 15 times since I chopped up those hot peppers. I thought it was safe to take out my contact lenses. HA. CAPSAICIN DON'T CARE.

In non-eye-searing pain news, after I land in NYC, I think I have enough time on Sunday afternoon to spend a couple of hours in a museum. Which one should it be? The Met?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Could we pool everything together and get a castle in New York?

Or a genuinely decaying and likely seriously haunted mansion on an island? Or a $5,000 abandoned church in Cincinnati?

I would love to have an old church. And Buffista Castle sounds only natural.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I love that gorgeous haunted mansion. That would be fantastic, but man, it would take a lot of renovation. And, as we all know, renovating a haunted property brings ALL the ghosts to the yard.

While I like fancy and antique editions of books, I prefer books I don't have to worry about. But if I ever get a 1st ed. of Something Wicked This Way Comes, I am going to build a shrine for it.

My numbered edition of ten volumes of The Thousand And One Nights has a special place in the glassed-in bookshelf, and I love them, but for the most part, I prefer books I can read, and haul around and eat with and let the cats walk on and not worry about them.
