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.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This totally disturbed me, and therefore, I must share it. Woman paints herself having sex with each US president. Still a work in progress, as she's only gotten up to Grant. [link] NSFW.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG. It is POURING out. I should be glad that it's only rained for my commute a couple of days in the past three months (although I guess I should be sad, because it means a drought), but holy crap. I took the T instead of walking, which didn't save any time, but was less outside, and I am still soaked!

Woman paints herself having sex with each US president.
That leads me to a (for me, VERY rare) DINAO: Richard Nixon or Dubya?
