The Americans immediately took this opportunity to swoop up all the womenfolk.
Nice to see the French apparently learned well from this mistake.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We made words from the letters on lisence plates. Letters had to be in the order they were printed. SLK could be slack, slake, slick, or silk. Silk wins because it has the fewest letters added to what's on the plate. SCK: sick wins over sack or sock because i is "shorter" than o or a.

Our wings are not tired.
We played all of those games ("we" being me and my poor cousin Buffy - we did coast-to-coast road-trips with my grandfather several times a year when we were kids) and more. But our specialty was annoying everyone in the car with non-stop singing of "The Gambler" and "Copa Cabana".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly funny -- I was saying to my coworker that I had made this soup for my grandmother, because she's not eating enough, and she said she does the same thing for her mother. Except she goes to Whole Foods, buys a prepared dinner, puts it in a tupperware, and tells her mother it's leftovers! That cracked me up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sue, best of luck. I don't even know.
I gave in and bought pencils at lunch.
First pencil broke halfway through my first meeting.
Tights got a run.
It's like being nibbled by geese.
And then all sorts of things got upgraded to "defects" for the Steering Committee Meeting that aren't really defects, but boy does it make our stats look less good. Thanks, people.
Lemme go home. Seriously.

Does your office not have pencils, ita? I love my Dixon Ticonderogas like cake.
Sue, that's rough to see happening. I hope you can get some advice.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Never played the alphabet game on family trips.(And boy were there plenty of family trips growing up) One game I do remember was looking for license plates from as many states as possible.

hip deep in pie
I was having quesadillas for supper and planning to go see a screening of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. The first bite of my quesadilla tasty mouldy (everything looked fine) and the movie seems too intense for my mood. So it's a Blizzard for supper and the new Sept issue of Vogue for entertainment.
I may regret not going to the screening, but I have seen it in theatres at least twice. I am curious to see how well it has aged.
