Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Um...give me a few months.

Okay!

I'm more impressed with myself than the situation warrants.

No way. That toilet is your bitch!

How are people supposed to make Caesar salads now?!?

With real anchovies? Isn't there some kind of Italian market that would have them? You just have to smush up two anchovies to make a proper Caeser.

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

That's pretty badass, shrift.

I love the idea of the streetfood festival. I generally like the food at fests, and this fest is all food. Perfect. Also, Three Twins might be worth a little pilgrimage. Sounds very yum.

Papa Murphy's sells little tins of sardines, fwtw.

Traveling with stuffed animals is *normal*, right?

It is in my world.

The one straight guy I knew who talked about emotional & relationships stuff with other guys was ... not emotionally well-adjusted. Ever.

shrift, if you own a hacksaw, you are like, 20 bitchiness points up on me. Never mind actually using it to fix something!

IME (with geeky het guys, which maybe is a separate category) they do talk about feelings & relationships with each other. There is more trash-talking than overt sympathizing, but the subject matter is the same.

At the comic shop a couple weeks ago, I eavesdropped (hey, it's a small shop!) on a long conversation between the owner & two other guys about how A had just broken up with his GF, and what was up with B, and then there was a fairly scathing analysis of of C (who wasn't there) and his unrealistic romantic aspirations.

It made me miss college.

I shall be impressed with myself, then!

I do have a hacksaw, but I don't think I own a drill, and I may need one when I buy and install a new bi-fold door to the laundry room.

shrift with a drill. Wearing leather pants. Installing a bi-fold door.

meara, you were looking for a saucy butch, right?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Semi-skimmed. Lots of interesting stuff today!

Still trying to survive this heatwave. Tomorrow I get to "survive" it while standing in line at the DMV.

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

I don't think it's a heatwave. I think it's summer.
