Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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 like the yolk only to be runny. I do not enjoy gelatinous whites.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

This, I think. Now that I like eggs.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

I would always rather celebrate October Thanksgiving than that meathead Christopher Columbus, so I'll say to all of our Canadian and Canadian-adjacent Buffistas: Happy Thanksgiving. May your harvests (both literal and metaphorical) be fruitful, and may you enjoy this year's colourful leaf-jumping and that first scent of winter-to-come on the air.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Aw, that's a nice thought, even though I'm not thankful right now.(also, not Canadian--maybe that's all right, then.)

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

Midnight Burger update: just met Shel and *love*! Same episode: Gloria busting out the “they’re trapped in here with us” speech is good stuff

Midnight Burger update: just met Shel and *love*! Same episode

Yes! Shel is fantastic! I don't remember the Gloria speech off- hand, but I'm sure I agree.

I'm on #39 right now.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Midnight Burger update: just met Shel and *love*! Same episode: Gloria busting out the “they’re trapped in here with us” speech is good stuff

Yes and yes!

I'm on #39 right now.

Ha! That's the one we listened to last night! Ava is a MENACE and I love her.

So much love! That was such a fun episode.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I like the yolk only to be runny. I do not enjoy gelatinous whites.

Exactly. Yolks I like warm but can handle cold. Whites gotta be cooked. No snot.

I have been kicked in the buttocks by allergies for the last eight days. I'm trying to avoid it turning into a sinus infection but yesterday was a celebration of life for a very dear and very social friend so it was packed and a lot of people to be around. Some of us needs our lungs, Lesley. But she'd have loved the party. It felt like JZ's memorial.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Sheryl.

My brain is too much of a jumble to do a catch-up post so I'll just share one moment of my day. This is my first day off in.. a while.. so I only left my apartment once to collect a package from the front door. While I was down there my across-the-hall neighbor and her small daughter came in. The kid had previously been pretty shy but today she came right up to me and said, "I'm in kindergarten!" and when I asked if she was liking it she said "My hair is pink!" then with a little prodding wished me a good night.
