You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Because books.

dcp, heh! Where do you find ginger hard candy?

I'm sorry about your phone, David. That's not fair.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Where do you find ginger hard candy?

My local regular grocery stores sometimes have it, among all the other packaged hard candies.

I also like these two: [link] and [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Trader Joe’s has ginger mints at the register that pretty much got me through my pregnancy and I found some great hard ginger candies at Thrive Market recently.

Ginger pear looks great. Thanks, sj and dcp!

And yeah, Batcat's not eating tonight. Calling the vet tomorrow morning. Silly fur ball.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Poor cats.

Instead of cleaning the house, I've been writing postcards for the GA runoffs, and my hand hurts! So I'm taking a break.

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

I'm sorry about your phone, David. That's not fair.

I shouldn't gripe. I can afford to get a new one this year, so it's just a hassle not a disaster.

Coddled eggs were fantastic, btw! Would recommend!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hope Batcat’s ok.

Bummer about the phone, David. I’m glad you can replace it without too much trouble.

I’m thinking of supporting one of the local Mexican restaurants (that sounds so much better than “can’t be bothered to cook”) tonight. Deadpool was right about the beauty of chimichangas.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Tonight’s takeout is probably going to be ramen. The hard part will be picking which kind of ramen. There will definitely be pork belly and extra noodles.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I want turkey for Christmas because I could not have it for Thanksgiving. But there still seems to be no affordable small turkey on Instacart. Or just a turkey breast. But I do have to do an Instacart before Christmas and almost nothing sounds good.
