Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

OMG, Cannoli Man is amazing! Our broken vending machine recently got fixed but not refilled. Not the same.

I just added RSV to my next vax appt (Hep B is two doses) so I should be well protected by mid-October. And I am traveling towards the end of October, so it'll probably be good to have preventive measures in place. Feels like a long time since I have traveled, but that's really just by airplane, my epic train month was just a few months ago but feels like ancient history already...

Our wings are not tired.

Now I really want a Cannoli Man. Alas, it isn't an option.

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

get them both at once

I schedule mine two weeks apart. I want my immune system to have time to respond to -- and recover from -- the first before being challenged with the second.

That which does not kill you should RUN

If I were king of the world, there would be a door-to-door cannoli man.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cannoli men on every corner! (Next to the taco trucks)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And the mini chocolate chips he dips the ends in? Good stuff. Not those waxy little bastids, the kind that melt if you pick one up too slowly. I almost wish I'd tried one end sprinkles... are the sprinkles, too, amazing?

That does it, if I ever get married we're budgeting for a mini-cannoli man for the reception. And the cocktail hour. And possibly the service. And sprinkles will have to be good because I'll be all in white what with being so pure and all. Suppose chopped nuts could work for that too.

So, basically, I left the shot and took the cannoli.

Nice one!

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

I have a series of things I don't want to do so I'm ordering them from least to most undesirable and avoiding the hardest thing by doing the less onerous thing first.

Does that make sense? Like when you do vacuuming when you have to write an email you don't want to deal with.

Anyway:

1. Dishes 2. Mortgage/refinancing 3. Clean the Guinea Pig Cage

What slate do I vote for to make this happen?
