Ok. Those are fucking cool.
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Do you have a microplaner?
Also, I have affection for commercials that make everyday tasks look super hard, like the commercial embedded in that page. Like the colander ones that make it look fucking IMPOSSIBLE to use and keep a colander. Love them!

Now tagless for your comfort.
I covet the Tater Mitts. I'm a sucker for As Seen on TV products.
Creepy. Benoit's Wikipedia page was updated about his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I love Emperor Norton. I think about him every time I go past the Federal Reserve, which is every work day.

From DJ's article: 'And, surprisingly enough, the general public’s reaction was apparently “Cool. We have our own emperor.”'
Which is a good summation of the City's attitude in general.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have a microplaner?
Yes. Those are things of miracle. Not that I'd use one to peel a tomato, but still--very nice.
The part of piemaking that I most dislike is the apple peeling and coring. I have a new corer doohickey that needs to be tried, but I balk at those skins.

My mom has a peeler, corer and spiral-cutter. Doesn't use it much but chortles with glee when she does. Her mom had a similar device on the farm.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
FYI, my secret to apple pies is I never bother to core the apples. (I do peel them.) I was talking to a caterer, who does this for a living, and she was like, "Why do the apple slices have to be all neat, and shit? Just peel that apple and cut chunks off it till you get to the core, and throw the core away."
Less work, less agita, no need for a cutting board, and anyway it looks basically the same in the pie pan. And tastes the same.
(I don't think you can get out of peeling the apples.)

I was promised thunderstorms. Nice violent ones.
Where the fuck are my thunderstorms?
