Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Connie, that may be, but every single person in the SLC office has expressed shock, SHOCK I TELL YOU, that I'd take public transportation instead of renting a car. And we are definitely a hippy liberal commie company.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Interestingly, the apparent reason for the change is that the current name is too hard to pronounce in China.

Fondly remembers stories of the Chevy "No Va".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Tomorrow's high will be 25 degrees colder than today's. And the high will be reached in the early hours of the morning, and then keep plummeting. Ah, weather, you bitch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Wacky weather here. Snowed for a few hours this morning, then it was sunny most of the afternoon. More snow tonight. Whee.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It's going to rain here, tomorrow! Yay!

Well, mostly yay. Except I'm going to dinner with my prospective employer (and prospective coworkers) at a fancy restaurant, and I would rather not arrive dripping. AND it will mean skipping book club, fooey.

ION, we had a fire drill at the office I'm working at today, and I stood outside downwind of a few smokers for ten minutes. And the smell got into my sweater, and four hours later I feel like I'm in a bar. It's amazing how sensitized I've become over the years, as the public acceptance of smoking has declined.

Ok, the blogger addresses the fact that warm avocado, on its face, does not sound appealing. But I think I could be convinced.

Just had a lovely Avengers/MCU discussion over the cubicle walls. Ah, nerds. We agreed that you can trust the comics canon information on Wikipedia because the nerds keep it honest.

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

I have been told that you can bake avocado like a potato and it tastes different from the raw but still good. Haven't tried it yet, though. Possibly it is a thing best done with not-quite-ripe avocados? I forget.

I am not going to have that (by which I mean Strix's link) for dinner only because the only avocado I have (a) has been in the freezer and (2) is earmarked for avocado and bacon deviled eggs. I should totally make both for the same meal at some point!
