I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

So excited for you guys in your new place, Laura! Smooth travels, too.

Happy Birthday, KateP, and I hope they're figuring things out with your mom's health.

Our week with my friend staying here last week was fun, culminating with a small game night on Saturday. I worked most of the weekend, bah, but it's my own choice; I took on too many projects. Learning process.

This week is all work, my first swimming lesson (!), and then getting ready to leave for our vacation, yay.

A quesadilla without cheese is like... not a quesadilla.

Happy Birthday, Kate P!

I scrubbed the front of Mom's garage and painted the door and its frame this weekend, a task I'd been putting off throughout the hot summer. The weather was perfect for it, but the awesome cool temperature and breeze couldn't save me from aching back muscles I was previously unaware of possessing. Did not feel like going to see Black Adam as planned due to the uncooperative back, but I can do that Tuesday night.

I didn't realize Aldis Hodge was in Black Adam until I saw something online yesterday. Mr. The Rock *and* Aldis Hodge are more than enough to get me to see a comic-book movie.

Our wings are not tired.

We saw Black Adam Friday night and I of course appreciated the pretty of the actors, but I actually napped during part of it. My 12 yo great nephew enjoyed it, but it was just pow pow pow non-stop for me and I was bored. I can't say it was bad, just not my thing so much.

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

Lunch update: I came into the office today (I usually WFH Mondays) so I can easily go to a gym open house nearby this evening, and I am getting a croque monsieur and chocolate mousse delivered from a palce called Delicieuses crepes. I feel mildly in the wrong for not getting a crepe...

Getting a croque monsieur is never wrong. Unless, I don't know, it's a special at Arby's. Then I wouldn't get it. But this place sounds froggy and I'm sure it will be delicieuse.

Validation accepted! And the idea of a croque monsieur from Arby's is making me laugh. Delivery just got here and the first bite is, indeed delicieuse as advertised

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Kate P!

Had trouble getting Mr. S to go to sleep last night.(He finally fell asleep after 10) I woke up around 3 for no reason, and dozed on-and-off until the alarm.

I'm imagining the ad campaign, and it's already devolved into increasingly ridiculous haute cuisine at fast food ads, starting with McTruffle Burger and devolving into Pizza Hut's Tomato Aspic stuffed crusts.

Happy birthday to Brenda! May you be properly spoiled today, and may the year to come be filled with delight.
