Well, I don't actually need cocoa powder. At least not at the moment.

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.
Another update to Buffista 2.0, BTW. Message Center now works. At least in theory.
The good: my house is clean! And the kittens mom came and took kitteh away. Which is sad, a bit, but good because she's was super happy to see her kitten again. Also I found a new series of books I think I'll enjoy, as I just finished the first one, AND they were all available at the library so I downloaded the next several.
The bad: it's a Friday night and instead of going dancing I ended up sitting on my couch reading a book and deciding to be lazy and eat chips and cookies and cherries for dinner. It seemed too much effort to shower and change and go talk to people.
I would have been disappointed if someone hadn't referenced "I'm On a Boat."
Damn, you guys. My dad called me about half an hour ago to tell me that my uncle was killed in a car crash today. Turns out, he caused it; he had Alzheimer disease and shouldn't have been driving and he crossed the median and hit 2 other cars. One other person died and 3 others were hospitalized, but their injuries weren't life-threatening.
It was on the news -- or, at least, footage of the vehicles after the crash was -- and it looks really horrible. I hope that he and the other driver died instantly. It's so awful.
He was my last uncle on my dad's side. He was a really good man for as long as I knew him.
I can't even really process this, to tell you the truth. I'm pretty much numb. My dad sounded the same way. Or, actually, he just sounded matter-of-fact. He only has one sibling left now.
Oh my god Steph. I cannot even.
I'm so sorry for your family, and the victims, and the victims' families.
How devastating, Steph. I'm so very sorry.
Oh Steph. I'm so sorry.
Oh, no. I'm so sorry!
That's truly tragic, Steph. I'm so sorry.
