Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Hi Scrappy!

We don’t have official time off for vaccinations, but management is basically, “Got a vaccination appointment? Great! Go for it.”

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Scrappy hiiiiiiiiii

In half an hour I have a Zoom meeting to discuss the current plans for the final phase of this neighborhood's development - it's been through 8 different iterations, I'll have moved by the time they finally break ground on it, I'm mostly watching for the arguments - yoga at 5, concert at 7.30, food has to happen sometime in here . . . .

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

Timelies all!

Mr. S had a meltdown sometime yesterday because Gary wouldn't go in his room(the nanny was there and Gary was in a long conference call). In addition to the usual trashing of his room he cut up the charger to his school Chromebook. Then the music thing he was sleeping with last night(part of a baby toy that plays lullabies) was suddenly quite loud and woke us up at 4 am. As I was already stressed out about the charger, I didn't sleep well after that.

'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"

We didn't get any time off for our work vaccinations, but on the other hand, we were vaccinated AT work, early in the first tranch, so I guess I can't complain too much.

They want to put 14 freestanding units in that space?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Our wings are not tired.

{{Sheryl}} I hope it is a much better night tonight and that you all sleep well.

Oh maaaaaan. I decided I wanted brownies. And I misread the recipe and made the cake like version rather than the fudgy version! Nooooooo!!! Curses!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I find ice cream to be an effective cover for a variety of brownie sins


meara - Mar 25, 2021 8:42:43 pm PDT #4921 of 30000

I made brownies in part because I didn’t have ice cream!

Guess tomorrow I go get ice cream and more brownie fixings both!
