I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Ah. Any spreadable cheese? Or is it something specific?

It's usually cheddar, at least at TJs. Rondele makes some too, I think.

It's TJ's label, I can't recall seeing it called Pub Cheese elsewhere. Cheddar with port (or maybe the port is optional?) and optional horseradish. Delish.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Do you think anyone at Johnson & Johnson stopped to consider that the customer base affected by the product discontinuation is going to include an inordinately high number of women caught short just as PMS hits?

FWIW, PMS and menstruation are at different times in the cycle.

Oh, that TJs cheese sounds good. I love spreadable cheese.

Speaking of shopping for stuff, I picked up my mail after getting back from class, and found a very nice card from my department, which included a $75 Amazon gift certificate!

I laughed while I was reading the card, because out of the ten people that signed it, three of them made reference to Buffy, Dollhouse, or Doctor Who. I guess I have a rep as the go-to for genre tv!

Rondele also makes a pub cheese. I've seen it in Safeway, but I haven't tried it. [link]

Nifty! I've either only seen the Rondele garlic & herbs or I focus in on it and don't notice there are other kinds. Mmmmm, cheese.

That's really cool, Kathy! Both the g.c. and the genre tv rep

I just realized I haven't listened to any of my Christmas music yet this year. I normally pop in CDs and listen to those on my commute, but since I'm off of work until the 20th, that's not happening. With nothing on TV tonight, I'm playing my iTunes Christmas songlist--Empire Brass, the Ronnettes, Bing Crosby, and now Karen Carpenter. I was looking at the list, and I've got ten hours worth of 200 songs. That's a lot more than I thought I had!

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

Whoa. Bombing in Stockholm.

Whoa. For a second there I thought I liked a Christmas carol that wasn't one of my two exceptions or religious. But I finally got far enough in the lyrics of "The Holly and the Ivy" to the Jesus bit. Then I read the lyrics, and they're not really that cheerful or celebratory. Hmm.

Two exceptions?

Do They Know Its Christmas? and Feliz Navidad.

I claim no thematic consistency. But one was omnipresent as I was growing up, and the other was a big moment in my teen years.

Watching The Princess Bride. I've almost changed my tagline ten times already, and they only just reached the shrieking eels. ♥
