I got my cat Clio because some family showed up at the farmers market with a litter of kittens and were literally just handing them out, so I can see it.
This cold is a stubborn bastard. I can't get over how congested I am still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At Crate and Barrel the other day, I could not resist buying a tiny springform pan, and it is the perfect size for a quarter-recipe of cheesecake! (The recipe on the cream cheese package, which I picked because it called for four things of cream cheese and four eggs.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh {{Consuela}}. So sorry to hear it.

Correction - it's a little small, as it puffed up over the top while cooking. But nothing spilled over or anything, so I'm going to call it good.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Plus now you have cheescake, so that's better than good

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!

I just spent way too much at TJs. Among my purchases: sriracha potato chips, beet hummus, cheddar corn puffs, and two different kinds of fancy cheeses.
to be fair, some of this is for chorus snacks tomorrow, and some is for watching the Warriors game tonight (go go go Splash Bros!), but really I was just in the mood to overindulge. Argh.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's excellent, Jesse. IME, cheesecake will puff up while cooking and then shrink back down when chilled, your pan is probably Just Right.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry, Consuela.
Congratulations on the house, Jess!
Waiting to board the flight home. Conference went well. Boss is so pleased with how I handled Difficult EIC she let me have the next two days off with no argument. I'm glad because I'm seriously tired.
But I got to see EpicTangent! Twice! Mini F2F FTW! Good company over good food, there's nothing better.

True that! And -t is correct, it now looks totally perfect!
Yays all the way around, Zen!
Self-care is a good thing, Consuela.
