Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

Woo, Laura!

I have to say, my CSA delivered fruit is quite consistently good. I don't know how they do it, other than the whole farm system geared towards high quality produce.

What is even happening?

I don't know if I missed her, or if she doesn't stop in here much anymore, but...

Happy Birthday JZ!

Punishingly Intricate

Aside from grapes, I usually only get fruit at the farmers market so only in season fruit. Sad to not have plums whenever I want but July plums are the yum!

Our wings are not tired.

I had to quit tonight's debate because I am so non-confrontational that they were going to make me lose sleep. I'll maybe finish it tomorrow. Ick. Don't like all the interruptions and stuff.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Thank you, Cindy!

I am avoiding the debates, but skimming news coverage and social media reactions and reading the candidates' actual websites and interviews and whatnot. Before last night, there was nary a white man in my top 5, and it looks like neither last night nor tonight has changed that one bit.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

If the media is to be believed, it sounds like the two debate 'winners' were Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris. (Incidentally, one of Biyi's oldest friends in Australia is called Elizabeth Warren. She asked me about a month ago about what the senator was like.)

By which, of course, I mean: Happy birthday, JZ!

Happy birthday JZ!

Laura, that's amazing. You're amazing.

Sheryl, I'm sorry things are so difficult.

JZ, I hope the day was filled with spoils!

Debate was a hot mess, but I am pleased that Harris is declared the 'winner' of the mess. Warren and Harris leading the pack aligns with my vision.

Meanwhile Vlad and Don playing footsie and planning the 2020 campaign.

Black coffee:

If memory serves me if we celebrate JZ one day, then Hec gets celebrated the next. Happy birthday, David. I hope you and JZ are enjoying your almost joint days.

We went to my favorite sushi place last night to get together with DIL's parents before my departure to NY for the summer. I tend to get stuck ordering the same thing all the time so I mixed it up and got something different. Sooooo good. Tempura shrimp, snapper, sweet potato, asparagus, crab, the roll was wrapped in avocado and more tempura on the side. I couldn't finish it so that is my breakfast.
