Also, who fucking wears a shawl when it's 95 fucking degrees out?
It is a nice shawl, though. Purple.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lazy excuses, Jesse. You need to decide if you care or not and go from there.
I swear I could tell if they were new wrinkles or not, but a) could be full of shit and b) do you really care about my opinion of your ironedness?
Ooh. Phone in my pocket is vibrating.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jesse, I wouldn't iron. But then, I don't. Iron.
I would also wear the suit, which is probably the pertinent answer. Maybe hang it in the bathroom when you shower for the steamy.
Except, well, he fell. I didn't check to see the last time he'd achieved tree safely, but bully for him at 70 DOING STUPID PHYSICAL THINGS.My dad does these things at 74. Digging out an avocado tree stump last time. Huh, dads and trees...

Note to self, part 2: Especially because you are saying so in public.

What is even happening?
When was your birthday?March.
My father fell out of a tree last week. Don't let your age stop you from trying improbable things.

The tree doesn't fall far from the apple, does it?
I have a question of standards. I have a linen pants suit that I'm planning on wearing to work tomorrow. I've worn it once since it came from the cleaners, so it's wrinkled, as linen does. I could iron it tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will be exactly as wrinkled as it is now by the time I get to work in the morning, no matter what. I mean, right?
Am I just making lazy excuses?
Yes, dear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, my usual anti-iron tricks don't work for linen. And it just occured to me that I can iron in the newly air-conditioned bedroom, so I guess I'll give it a shot.
I hate two-suit weeks at work.

Apparently he's sworn off climbing trees. And then there's my mother and her exercise bike issue--my god, they're both insane.
I am wearing the coolest krav top. It's so cool that even though I should be off doing laundry I'm here talking about it instead. It's both racerback and halter (ooh! more vibrating!) with two sets of straps going over the shoulders. And it's long--plenty long enough to cover the top of low rise jeans.
WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP GANKING MY TIME??? Okay, not my time exactly. But I have this one friend that's really popular, and I can't spend time alone with him, it seems, since other people continually invite themselves along when we do stuff.
Okay, laundry and Best Buy.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
A couple of years ago I called my mom just to chat. In the course of the conversation, she mentioned that my dad had purchased a chainsaw and was going to be climbing the palm tree in the yard and trimming it. I was like, "ARE YOU CRAZY??? I hope Dad isn't too fond of his arm/leg/etc." She hadn't given it a second's thought but she did agree when I said I pictured him doing that like he paints in the house - with a Bud in one hand and the saw in the other.

Art Crawl!!!
That was indeed some tennis. And I also watched it on time delay and can I say that I am one lucky girl? I was leaving the house around 10ish and set to tape for six hours starting at ten (the final started after 8 am my time) and I did that but I forgot to change the tape speed from sp to slp so it only taped 2 hours - - my tape ended just after the final ended.
Whew. And now nobody can say that Federer can't play a five-setter. And could you have a more perfectly matched pair of opponents than Federer and Nadal?
I don't think so. Now to go find out what happened in Mixed Doubles.

Bostonistas:
The local rag reports there are no good vegan restaurants in Boston. (The main human character in the comic Get Fuzzy wears a shirt featuring a vegetarian cafe in Olympia. The cartoonist claims this was at the request of a friend who complained that Boston has no decent vegan eateries.) This just strikes me as really unlikely. We are talking a major city... So is this just ignorance on the part the cartoonist? (My ignorance is more pardonable as I live thousands of miles from Boston.) Or does Boston actually lack restaurants that cater to vegans?
