Random thing I just remembered from vacation.
My mom compared Nutella to Vegemite.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

I'm giving your mom a look.
I have holiday hrs I won't be able to keep if I switch contracts as expected, so I took the rest of the day off.
I read a magazine. Could have been more productive, but ehn.

Productivity is sometimes overrated.
Side-eye is way too nice for the wrongheadedness that is my mother on this issue.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My mom compared Nutella to Vegemite.
Huh. Well, okay. They are both, I suppose, spreads.

Not that this really explains this particular piece of her, but my brother and I have commiserated that nothing impresses with my mom, she is the queen of "it's fine". She liked the food in Rome but declared it often "plain" which it is yes, simple, super fresh and delicious.

Ah, I know people like that.
One disadvantage of the e-reader: when someone asks you what you are reading, you can't just hold up the cover for them to read themselves, you have to stop reading and talk to them.

Woohoo, being accused of leftist propoganda on my FB page.

Maybe you should try posting some leftist propaganda, see if you like it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
More things making me glad I'm not on Facebook.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I'm pretty sure I have access to some leftist propaganda if you need any.
I would totally do Burning Man. In fact, I have a friend who's been going for years and I'm pretty sure I could tag along if I wanted. But it falls during a problematic part of my schedule and, you know, I like having a job.
