Happy Birthday, Seska!

Torchwood, wine and sushi sounds wonderful. Except for my bitter disappointment with the most recent Torchwood, as discussed in spoiler font in Boxed Set. Also, the 30s are a most wonderful decade. Enjoy!

The roller coaster, never gonna happen.

happy birthday Seska!!!

Am awake. 6ish hours until Set© date with GeekyGamerGirl.

Seska, kudos to you, there is no way I'd be able to do that roller coaster. The little Miners Roller coaster at Disney Land (forget the name, but so not fast) does me in. Too much wind in the face means I can't breath, which means Mild!Panic, which is bad.

Fay, no worries. It happens. There are plenty of times when people look at things and go "that could be bad, but, how to avoid it? No way. Lets hope for the best!". I suppose you could put the wine in an empty water bottle, but then you are drinking wine from a water bottle, and that just seems all kinds of wrong. So, next time, when you put the glass of wine down, turn on the light, so you don't have to do the blind outstretch hands thing.

I am really tired of people saying shitty things and then when I call them on it, saying "I didn't mean it that way". for example, we were talking about how some flight attendants are suing because the new flight attendant uniforms aren't being made in above a size 18. M says "isn't that rather large?" and then he posts a picture of someone in a cow costume with the caption "Here's the new outfit from the designers for the 18-plus group." so I said "I wear a size 14-16, thanks for telling me that you think I'm a cow".

He responds "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way"

Well then, how the fuck did you mean it, asshole?

gives M the stink eye

Ugh. "I didn't mean it that way" is one of the most pathetic excuses ever.

"I didn't mean it that way" is one of the most pathetic excuses ever.

Yeah. "I didn't mean it that way" is actually "Fuck, I'm busted for saying a really shitty thing."

And it would actually be better to SAY, "I said a really shitty thing." And follow it up with, "That was wrong, and I apologize."

Today's salad: mixed greens, chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots, and lemon-garlic-tahini dressing. Would have been better with some cucumbers, too.

My mother never puts anything on top of salads. Just plain greens. I say that's not a salad, it's just greens -- I always try for at least two things besides greens in mine.

I only like just greens when the other food is really earthy - like a stew. The greens lighten/contrast with it. But Generally I am with you -- to be a salad it need a bit more than just greens.

Well then, how the fuck did you mean it, asshole?

Oh, they meant it that way. And then realized it was a shitty thing.

There is a car commercial that keeps coming on that has your ringtone, Vortex. And I swear my head snaps towards the tv everytime I hear it start up. Then I smile. And I do mean it that way.

Laura, I'll be getting over to Boxed Set for Torchwood discussion tomorrow - I'm going to need to take my time over thinking this one through first. Suffice it for now to say that I enjoyed it. Marathoning it in one day may have been excessive though. I'm even more depressed by the state of the world and humanity than I was before. Hmph. But worth it.

omnis, I'm not terribly brave with roller coasters, but it's the twisty-twisty ones that I have to avoid - they hurt my neck a lot with the G-forces (and I am trying to avoid dislocating my neck, which I think is a positive aim to have in life). But this one was all speed and no twisting, which I loved. I like fast.
