Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds glorious, save the weather.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Even the weather was nice, because this is what autumn is supposed to be like, for me, even if I never get to experience it anymore. I hadn't packed for it to be so cool, which is my own fault, but it was fine. And it was sunny in the morning, while we were picking apples.

Because books.

That sounds like a nearly perfect day.

Absolutely.

Yep, I've been running the ac for several days now. Should be able to turn it off tomorrow.

Consuela, sounds lovely, absent sock barfing.

I'm just sad because I haven't seen the sun in days. (It's possible there was some I missed yesterday...)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It sounds like a picture-perfect day, Consuela. Given the sock swallowing, sock barfing is a good thing.

Punishingly Intricate

For a fruit fly trap that uses science instead of plastic wrap

I'm pretty sure plastic wrap is 100% made of science.

Consuela, your day sounds magical!

Sometimes I want Owen to be my best friend. He'd be the coolest best friend EVER.

Seriously! I just read Cashmere's fb post about this out loud to Bob. What a cool kid!

I'm thinking about getting my friend who's house burned down a Sephora gift card because she loves makeup and I feel like that's the sort of thing that insurance wouldn't replace.

Last hivemind question for the night: If you were charging for writing trivia questions, how much would you charge? Between $5 and $10?

I'm thinking about getting my friend who's house burned down a Sephora gift card because she loves makeup and I feel like that's the sort of thing that insurance wouldn't replace.

Plus, it'll make her feel a little better right now, which would be a good thing.
