That all makes sense. Too bad pigs make the perfect breakfast food, huh?
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
tommyrot, were you at the Heartland Cafe?

Yeah. It's about a ten minute walk (or one El stop) from my new place.

I started a load in the dryer, like an idiot. Now I can't go anywhere until it is done. (Contraption leaves the basement easy to break into.)

I'm considering buying ice skates - Dylan loved skating yesterday, so we'll probably make it a weekend activity. Rental skates do horrible things to my knees and arches, and unlike Dylan, my feet aren't going to be a different size every winter for the next 10 years.
So my question to the hive mind is - brand recs? How much should I expect to pay for a decent pair of recreational skates? I can skate forward pretty well but won't be doing anything fancier than that.

I bought a pair for JZ several years ago as a Christmas present. I'll have her check for the brand, but I paid about $120 for them. But you can get much cheaper pairs, and better deals online.
Hmmm, looking at that link I think I got her Riedell.

ION, Turkey soup!
I'm feeling very economical since I made this soup with just the meat on the carcass plus one wing, so I didn't have to hit up my supply of sandwich making turkey. It's pretty rich since I was boiling that bone-meat for a good long time and added some of the skin (for the fat).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am back from the con, and am trying to type around Nova, who is being velcro kitty.
