Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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

I did pancakes and sausage for dinner last night, because I meant to have that for breakfast but couldn't bring it all together until dinner time.

Pang and Tong were my standouts, too, Kathy. So glad they medaled. It was getting weird how, as soon as the announcers would say "and here's their triple [whatever jump]", somebody would fall, but it wasn't that long ago that women just never even tried triples, so ... I don't know where I was going with that. We're in a bit of a transitional time inpars skating, I guess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was all psyched up to Get Stuff Done, and was thwarted by technology! Now I have to wait for someone to email me back...

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Oh, I'm quite familiar with glow tape. The glow gaff was a new one on me (and, apparently, a fairly new product). We need glow tape, so I was thinking of getting the glow gaff if it works (maybe it wouldn't need staples to stay down, and it would lay flatter)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I want glow tape. I'll line the stairs with it, and put little blue lights on the walls, and my staircase will look like a landing strip at night.

I'd leave all my lights off just to bask in the niftiness.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

at night.

Well, at least for a couple hours

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

nor do I have even so much as a small blowtorch, which is probably a sad testament to how I've lived my life up to now.

That's what the broiler's for. You don't need these newfangled gadgets. Though they would be more fun.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But you can't focus heat with a broiler. A blowtorch is absolutely an essential kitchen doohickey, even if it's barely used. Just in case.

Because books.

Does anybody have an Asus laptop? Any thoughts on Toshiba laptops? (Please tell me there are a few other non-Mac users left.)

Oh yes, the joy of the staples. The stuff is basically just a huge pain in the ass. But, if keeps actors from stepping off the stage in the dark, so I suppose it's a necessity. Although there are some I would be happy to lose.
