I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK the guy with the walker just said something about "my accident," so I guess it's temporary, but still.

hip deep in pie

It was on the market two years ago for $650K. I'm kind of wondering if it's an estate sale and it's been empty all this time.

You should definitely snap it up?

Other snow-day topics of thought! What's the over/under on when I start wearing pleated jeans again? I still think they are hideous and never did go for skinny jeans, so. I'm thinking at least five years if ever.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

never did go for skinny jeans

I was driving through University of Cincinnati's campus today, and I saw a guy crossing the street wearing the bog-standard outfit a fraternity-type guy wears when he needs to be in "business" wear: khakis, a white shirt and striped tie, and a blue blazer. Except the khakis were cut like skinny jeans. It was not a good look. (Also, it was 24 degrees out and he wasn't wearing any kind of overcoat. MADNESS.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

For the most part, college guys don't wear winter jackets until it gets close to 0. They seem to think that admitting that they're cold is like admitting defeat.

I was just talked into buying a pair of skinny jeans yesterday as opposed to my usual boot cut baggy style jeans. They look pretty awesome though, to my utter and total surprise.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I still am not sure exactly what skinny jeans are. I am recoiling in horror (in my head) from the idea of pleated jeans but I think I have actually owned at least one pair that I really loved and looked terrific in, so I'm just gonna say, whatever, no rules. Pleated jeans, skinny jeans, jeggings, ALL GOOD

I would be happy just to be able to get people to play a board game with me.
