Oh! Random question for the buffistas: So, my sister and BIL have a 3 year old (foster kid who may be eligible for adoption soon). And sister's BFF and I were in the car with sister and kiddo, and singing...and sang "Shake your booty" and my sister informed us that she does not want to use the word "booty" around the kiddo and it is not appropriate language. We were flabbergasted--obviously not trying to use actual foul language, but we didn't think of that as inappropriate, and both thought of it as a kid-friendly term for butt, but my sister thought the word has been overly sexualized and is not ok anymore. Thoughts? (I mean, obviously I'll do whatever she wants, when around her, but...just curious)
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

Sue, I can ask him if you can go home too if you want.
Please! And My coworker.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alcide just walked past me. Real life is a good look on him. shame about the busted arm, though.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm so sorry, Strix.
Even though I didn't get official word, I left work 2 hours early. Didn't have anything to do.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Theo, glad you're feeling a lot better. Um, tomorrow, feel better still!
Preeeety Buffistas!!
Strix, I'm so sorry about your Greer kitty.
Do I want lunch? Breakfast was late, and dinner will be early, so I'm thinking no.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I just texted my boss. Told him I was really tired, so he's letting me leave.
He didn't say anything about Sue, though :(

We're actually busy with the rest of the world getting their end-of-year stuff done, so leaving early is unlikely.

shrift, the roasted beet pesto is really simple. Roast some beets in the oven, peel them, and chop them up. Throw them in a blender with olive oil, walnuts or pine nuts, and some parmesan. Use it on your pasta and watch the pasta turn a marvelous shade of fuchsia.
Sweet, thanks! I think I need to try that this weekend. I've already got spaghetti squash to roast and ingredients for spicy tomato & farro soup. I'm loading up on the vegetarian dishes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Real life is a good look on him.
Mmm, I would like to be able to confirm that. Pictures are pretty nice, though.
Phew, just got confirmation that today is, in fact, a short day. I should probably feel worse that I have so much work left undone but I DO NOT

Well, the best I can do is...he was dressed in casual clothes, had a hinged brace on his right arm, and had a grizzled short beard and was hot enough that I recoiled with it before my hazy True Blood memories came back.
I don't think I've reeled like that since Victor Webster was behind me in line at a cafe.
