Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That is something, Jesse. That he's basically happy is huge. I know how much it meant to me at the time.

Because books.

Oh, tommy, that hurts.

That he's basically happy is huge.

Very much this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I'm such a bitch. I was just thinking about all the laundry I'm going to do when I get up tomorrow when a friend texted about our brunch plans, and my first thought was "ugh." Oh no! I have friends, who want to hang out.

Jesse, that's not being a bitch. It's just being tired (and I don't mean physically). I'm so sorry about your dad.

You save your resources for when you need them, Jesse. Sometimes friends fall to the bottom of the list.

Aw, you guys are nice. It'll be good to see her. And then I can do all the laundry in the world after.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

That takes up a lot of spoons, Jesse -- I'm not surprised you're running low just now.

I have a recipe for chess pie that I can make if I can come up with a substitute for evaporated milk -- evidently you can simmer almond or coconut milk down by half and use it pretty confidently. I'm thinking that getting out the double-boiler would be good for this, since it would be very hard to scald it that way -- yes, no?

Socializing takes energy! But the nice thing is, sometimes it also provides it.

I think a double boiler would be your best bet, Theo.

Double boilers are the best. Even though I've only ever used a glass bowl on a pan.

Back to me: And a lot of the laundry is in service of the houseguests I'm really excited about over the 4th of July, but ALSO preemptively exhausted about that! There's a lot to do to have an actually usable guest room, but it will be worth doing, and I have next weekend.
