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

Oh, that risotto was GOD. Crimini mushrooms and loads of real butter and asiago and truffles and ginormous CLAWS of lobster and crunchy panko bread crumbs on the top.
It was so rich I had to stop in the middle of a modest serving. Dan and I BOTH had a cigarette afterwards, like after a scene in an old 40's movie, and my serotonin and endorphin levels were like, cocaine high-high. SO. GOOD. So needed after such a shit day, and what a thoughtful gift. Bless you, Kenton.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Nothing I can have for dinner sounds good now that I've read that. Curse you, wee Strix and your lobsterified risotto-ish ways!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Strix, that is a good friend you have.

I'm sitting in a bar next to David Cross. NBD. It's actually hard to avoid David Cross here in Brooklyn.

That's like John Darnielle in Durham.
Wow, Strix, you deserve the best casserole, for sure.

If it makes you feel better, Tep, I'm probably having a tuna salad sandwich and Chex Mix for dinner tonight. Woo!

That sounds super stressful Strix, I'm sorry!
I had a work thing that was actually IN TOWN, which was awesome, so drove over there this morning, and met with them and did stuff. I think I really like the one woman who's in charge, we seem very on the same no BS wavelength.
And then I came home and made myself a healthy dinner (turkey meatballs, sauce, spaghetti squash), and facetimed my sister and niece, and in a few hours will go pick up my old roommate from the airport! If only I didn't have work that I need to do tomorrow...
I also may have figured out part of what caused the super painful arm/shoulder--with all the painting, I wasn't really painting with that arm, but I WAS screwing/unscrewing the various light sockets and stuff. I think that may have done it. ...sadly, I realized that because I was trying to put together some furniture this evening, and in doing so realized the screws were making my shoulder hurt. Oops.
I'm sorry. I know you meant well, meara. I'm not laughing at you...in fact, thanks. That made me laugh and laugh. And I kinda needed that.
Hey, whatever it takes. :) And I mostly said it for the -ma/ma connection. (But hey, she might need some on her way to wherever she's heading! Can't hurt!)
