Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oo! I just had a thought. Chest of drawers = like a chest or a trunk, but with drawers in it.

Because books.

You can freeze egg whites?!

I think we used dresser and bureau most, but I had always heard chest of drawers, too. In my head, a chest of drawers is one of the tall ones, and a dresser is lower, maybe three big drawers with a mirror over it, but I have no idea why.

I'm trying to pick an appropriate sample of erotic writing in answer to an ad for, you guessed it, erotica writers. But I think fic has really colored my definition of what's mainstream erotic and what's not, though.

Wait, what? There's a new one already?

New as in came out earlier this week? (The last one came out a year ago, but I just read it a few months ago) Yeah. Half-Off Ragnarok.

Given the stuff I've seen...as long as there aren't tentacles, it's mainstream. Furries probably aren't, but werewolves are, so...

I've never written tentacles! So that's good ...

In my family, we use chest of drawers and dresser interchangeably. Bureau, rarely.

Amy just made me snort!

Well, at least not after reading one of my stories!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We just had a whole discussion (um, at a slash con) about dinosaur porn, so. Mainstream is pretty weird.

Also dresser and chest of drawers interchangeably.

Hello, and post and run. I'm in Palm Springs, having attended the Follies that my BF insisted I see. I just had a G&T with my happy hour special quite good fish tacos, and that may have been a mistake, since I now how to drive to the most remote part of a nearby town, where my solar contractor has loaned me and my backpacking group his cabin for as long as we need it, which is a little over a week. Maybe dessert would help. Unrelatedlt,or really, relatedly, I've lost 16# since a year ago.
