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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm torn between the haunted mansion on the island and a church. The idea of Buffista Cathedral or the Church of the Blessed Snark beckons like a thing that is beckoning.
My dream library--which extends to many rooms--has a well-protected section for Books That Are Precious And Beautiful and more sections for regular books, including the shelves of taped-up thrift store copies of books that I can shove in my purse with no worries. And read in the tub, of course.
Rather. There was a time in my life when you could tell how well I loved a book by the layers of water damage at the corners. However, it has been more than a decade since I had a comfortable tub in my life.

Because books.
THIS is the place we need.
