She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just overheard a coworker saying "That chardonnay changed my life" and I can't help but feel I would rather be in that conversation than doing the work I am currently doing.

Reminds me of the conversation I overheard about some guy who was "really proactive about his vacation time."

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

Timelies all!

It doesn't help that Gary has an in-town meeting yesterday, today and tomorrow that starts at 8, so I have to get Mr. S dressed and to the bus on time.(Also, yesterday's meeting included a dinner, so I had to put him to bed, which is always a thrill.)

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

You are not wrong about that, Tep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, what a tough situation, Steph.

In dessert news, I poached some pears in red wine the other night, and then cooked down the wine into syrup, which I just ate over ice cream, and it was DELICIOUS. Recommend!

Oooh, that sounds good. I am finally leaving work, and have already told my boss I'm coming in late tomorrow because I've been here late pretty often. looking forward to that a whole lot, let me tell you!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

You all will be relieved to hear that our important papers did turn up... in my bin of "to be filed" papers. Which, I suppose, was technically the right place for them! (I did make them a file folder of their very own, at last.)

Woo, Kate!!! I *am* relieved!

Yay Kate!!

Msbelle I have often felt like that lately. Bored, but not energetic enough to really do much about it. I've been playing a lot of solitaire, which is...probably not healthy

Herding cats for fun

We had a story in San Francisco about a deranged gentleman who screams at women on the streetcar and terrified some kids and the powers that be just can't do a thing because he's a white dude with an address and certifiable mental illness.

I wondered how long that would go on until someone tried vigilante justice. I expect eventually his luck will run out.
