But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've lived with a vegetarian for so long that I actually forgot about cooking grease cans. Man.

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

if you put those other fats in cans labeled as "bacon" won't you be misleading others?

Look, we have a proud tradition in my family of keeping kosher salt in a jar marked Parsley Flakes. It's the way of my people.

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

Timelies all!

Glad you weren't hurt worse, Hec.

Ugh. Woke up around 1 for some reason(I think I was cold). Went back to sleep pretty quickly, but still, I don't need more sleep interruptions.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I always wonder, when things are named like that (or have suggestive logos, or whatever), is there NO ONE who looked at the name and said, "This might not be the best choice because of other connotations"? Or maybe that person exists but got overruled.

Earring. Magic. Ken. IJS. And a friend of me saw a "Water Play Ken!" in the toy aisle at Walgreens a few weeks ago.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

We finally peeled the "coconut oil" label off the jar where we keep the bacon fat. It got too wet in the washing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bacon fat goes in an old spaghetti sauce jar.

We are in the airport, praise Buddha. Family visits only get more fraught as we all age.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

For once I thought ahead and saved the bacon grease so that I could use it instead of olive oil in this curry-cous-cous thing I do. But since I actually only buy bacon once in a while, that's a lot of planning on my part.

Our wings are not tired.

Bacon grease just goes in a coffee cup, where it stays a short time before landing on top of the dog food.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went and saw Linda Holmes talk about her new book, and at the signing, I said, "You're my friend in my head" like the WORLD'S BIGGEST DORK. Oh well.
