Oh, no, oh, no! Spontaneous poetic exclamations. Lord, spare me college boys in love.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!

My brother delivers food on weekends sometimes, for Uber, I think.

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

Well, this will at least make my "Cook dinner more often, and stop ordering in as much" resolution easier to keep, to avoid awkwardness.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It bothers me that someone who works full time but needs a side job to help make ends meet also needs to bear the burden of feeling shamed, whereas the assholes running the country who felt obliged to pass on more wealth to the wealthiest in the country don't.

They are actually whining about their press coverage right now and it's NFG.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Remember the saga of Tim's not!son? He is still living in his car. And it is going to get to a low of -4 degrees tonight. I refuse to let not!son crash here indefinitely, but Tim is going to go get him and bring him back to sleep on our couch for at least tonight, and maybe until the weekend, when the temperatures will go back up into the 30s and 40s.

Not!son is working at Tim's company temporarily, so he won't be in the house all day getting underfoot while I work; he'll just go with Tim in the morning. But even if he had no place to go during the day, I'd still tell Tim to bring him here for the next couple-few days. He could literally die in that weather. Sure, I have an opinion on what he could be doing to get his life together (but isn't), but I'm not a monster. Our house is actually stupid cold in this weather, because it's old and the windows are single-paned, but compared to sleeping in your car in -4 degree weather, our house is pretty warm.

Though I am not sacrificial enough to give up my heated mattress pad. For anyone.

Our wings are not tired.

Tough love does not mean stopping being compassionate and kind. Below zero is seriously cold.

As a birthday present for DH I got tickets for all of us to go see Jumanji tonight. The original came out in 1995 when my kids were at the age that you watch a movie dozens of times, at least. It was important to me that I see it with the "kids". A good time was had by all. We are going to rewatch the original together too. The theater comfy recliners and 3D stuff is nice, but I do miss that pause button.

I can't wait to see Jumanji! We just haven't had time with the holidays. Maybe this coming weekend.

Jumanji was absolutely awesome. I won't see it as many times as I did the first one, because no little kids around, but I look forward to seeing it again. Each and every one of the actors rocked. It was utterly satisfying.
