Our wings are not tired.

It's kind of weird to read it! But less weird than folks talking to a Java and it's not me! :)

And thanks for listening. Normally I am not super sensitive about comments on my weight but this person is SO annoying on so many levels. And when she brought those binders to my office and asked if she could go over them with me? It was SO WEIRD. And SO insulting. I mean, I do NOT know her. I see her five times a year in project meetings. So it's just so ludicrous that I am sitting here looking and feeling like death warmed over and she's loudly commenting on my body.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

-t, mostl likely, yes, but we're only doing six goats, farmed out (hah) to six different artists. But what I was asked to do was different. We supposedly have a theme of "Grass Menagerie", I'm not quite sure what that means in relation to the goats, our farm to table theme, and the request that I make an animal topiary.

I don't know how to make one from scratch, I don't know where I can buy preformed shapes of a certain size to make my task easier (and will cost a ton of money in frame, sphagnum, and plants), and it's supposed to be temporary, so it's also a huge expense with no returns, especially if I do make it from scratch and someone wants to buy it: it'll most likely be so un-structurally-sound as to be non-transportable. I get the idea: shape chicken wire, stuff it with a vast amount of long-fibered sphagnum peat moss, plant with plugs from a wholesale nursery.

I'd rather buy one of the fiberglass goats, cut out the back and the top of the head, and turn it into a Chia pet.

Thrive to spite them

There are bears along Church Street in Burlington like that. I think one of them is cut in half (I'm not sure I might be hallucinating).

Nanita I hate people like that, you were probably more polite about it than I would have been. I might have told her "Do not ever comment on my appearance again." (with Bitch! heavily implied at the end.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Anyone trying to confront me with nutrition binders would not get a polite response. Possibly a felonious response.

RIGHT?

not your mom's socks.

some spiffy yellow glare-reducing glasses?

This saves me in airports / hotels / and around people who love really awful camera flashes. They look goofy but I'll take goofy over having to leave because I can only see rings of light or want to cut a hole in my head.

Yeah, the nutrition binders thing is both weird and obnoxious.

Baltimore (or me) did crabs. I liked them.

hip deep in pie

Nanita, was she part of some pyramid scheme diet, I wonder? Either way, super rude.

I just assumed you had been watching the Great British Baking Show! Where they make Genoese cakes.

I LOVE this show. I already watched s. 5 when it was on the BBC. Last night my friends and I were talking about it over twitter and Chetna favourited couple of our tweets! She's one of my favourites. It's been totally inspiring me to bake.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nanita, that is utterly fucking appalling. You are about nine thousand percent more polite than I would be. ISTG, people raised in barns by wolves are hissing at this woman.

The costumes on Reign are sort of hysterical, especially when you can see the zippers.

The Frock Flickers have many, many opinions about the costumes on Reign. Almost (but not quite) makes me wish I could see it. Maybe with them, while drinking; not sure I could tolerate it otherwise.
