This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Karl!

Ugh, it's cool and rainy here, and will be all weekend.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Thanks for the lovely wishes, folks. It's a quiet Friday here, which is generally how I prefer to celebrate.

I may go down to Pacifica and walk by the ocean later, to make sure I get my steps in. I'm so grateful to live in such a beautiful place.

And always, always thankful for my beloved Buffistas, who have been with me through so much, and who are never far from my mind or my heart, even when I'm not posting very much.

May we keep taking care of one another for a long, long while.

Um, not sure I would recommend re-using those bags for food? I mean I guess they held bottles with pills inside and not just stray pills but still. Maybe give them back to the pharmacy to be disposed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

In purging useful items news, today I took two beach ball-sized clumps of plastic bags from Kroger to the recycling dumpster. They are handy in small numbers, but I accumulate way too many of them and they were spilling out from my lower cabinets to the kitchen floor.

Happy belated, Karl!

Steph, what everyone here said. I hope you have a great vacation.

Epic, continuous ~ma.

Happy birthday Karl!

And warmest non-huggy care to Tep. I’m so glad you have Tim there with you but that must be so painful.

Come feel old with me people!

My sis is out with her boss and some friends celebrating his birthday. And let me just say I have never been so glad to not be invited. The plan:

  • Tapas brunch at Cafe BabaReeba (just finished) then going to see
  • Moulin Rouge (the B’way musical not movie), followed by
  • Foot Massages, then an
  • Escape Room and finally
  • Cocktails and dinner at a fancy French steakhouse (Bavette)

I’m exhausted (and broke) just imagining it.
