Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

I realy want to see that, it seems like my cup of tea.

Jess, I like my dashboard mount, I will have to see what it is when I get home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel weird that I just took some french bread pizzas from my grandmother's freezer, but what were we going to do, throw them out? French bread pizza is fucking delicious!

Seems reasonable, food would go to waste otherwise!

Went with Anna out to The Dizz (I owed her a dinner) and we split a delicious Malbec (and they have $10 bottles, so good bar deal!) and I had a mushroom and swiss bacon burger and she had the Steamer (clams, mussels and shrimp) and we split sweet potato fries. Great couple of hours. I so wish we had a good neighborhood bar within a short walk. Ah well, don't know they'd have burgers as good. Funnily enough, saw neighbors from across the alley there.

Also I sold my CSA share for this week! I probably could make the pickup, but then I'm going out of town for a few days, and I just threw away pretty much all of two weeks' ago's haul. Phew.

Whereas my neighbors are going to do my market shopping the weekend I return so I have stuff for meals that week!

Anything I don't finish from this week (I was circumspect, but still) can be frozen for alternate uses.

I have to cook and freeze everything I have left tomorrow.

It is! And I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

I'm no Lady of the Manners, obviously. How many followers do you have? So I can compare to someone actually famous!

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

Man, he wasn't finished lecturing at 6, but I bolted anyway. Good lord, Sunday evening. You suck balls!

My sister's coming over tomorrow. How much tidying/cleaning do I do? I feel a paradox onslaught.
