CJ got his braces off this morning. As we were leaving, they gave him a carmel apple.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Mm, caramel apple.
I would like my style to be slightly more "Danish modern"--what's hilarious though is that my Danish grandmother totally had her whole house in that style, so for the longest time it just screamed dated and old to me. But now my mom has her dining room table and chairs and I would LOVE to have them. (I admit, I like the couches I have better, because they're more comfy)
But having just seen my neighbor's staged house, I want someone to come in and make mine awesome. And, y'know, magically clean all my stuff up so it fits nicely in drawers and closets.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I hope your day gets better, Dana.
I grew up with Danish modern. Now I want upholstery and carved wood for miles.

Dead internet and dying car.
So the punishment before vacation has begun.

Heading into three hours of meetings. Possibly with lunch included? Outlook uncertain.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Burrell is wise--I called the UCLA position and asked if it was closed and they said not yet, things were just moving slowly. I told them I'd like to get a chance to show off my writing skills, and she said she'd check if I'm still in the running.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our house was built in 1938, so we are kind of just-before-mid-century. This is our dining room set: [link] But with a sideboard and without the cool curtains. I love it SO MUCH. The whole shebang cost us $1,000 on CL. I'd love to do our whole house in Heywood-Wakefield, but it's usually WAY too expensive. Plus my husband loves Mission style, so a lot of our stuff is in that style.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that's a great dining room!
Oh, my actual house is from the early 20th C, but I forget when.

Argh! Why is my company still supporting a program that's 8 years old! 5 versions back! We're not Microsoft! The only reason people still use is it is because they don't want to go to the subscription model! And the people who use this version run cheap computers, too. And they get supremely pissy when we tell them their setups are barely hanging on.
Good lord, the install files are so old they can't recognize the amount of RAM on the computer, and so it's saying the computer doesn't meet system requirements. There cannot be negative RAM!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
IF you were going to describe your decorating ethos in a few words, how would you?
Books, strange artwork, bold color choices, comfy.
I am weirdly outraged at the news that Burger King might buy Tim Horton.
I am plain old outraged. That ain't right.
