Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

I am sad that the Mongolian pork from last night's delivery is almost done. Maybe I should drive up the the Bulgarian place and get takeaway. No on will ever do Bulgarian with me. It's damned tasty food.

Or I could go, and sit there and read! A book!

That's kind of scary.

So - when we evolve to the next stage, can we all get golden streaks in our hair? nifty

I refuse to evolve to the next stage unless I get fangs and pyrokinesis. I have a list of things that I need to cause to burst into flames with the power of my mind.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Went to a talk on climate change denialism by Eugenie Scott. She's the coolest person in the building. I will never be that cool/smart. Later, I will attend Penn and Teller's Rock n' Roll, Doughnuts, and Bacon party. I will return with a full report. And possibly drunk.

Steph, my gut is so much better, which is due in great part to your advice.

Jilli, I got the card for the woman who does all the steampunk jewelry: [link]

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I first read about Dawkins' GenderFail on Shakesville, so it's interesting hearing Buffistas' perspective. (Of course, Dawkins would consider me delusional and/or stupid because I'm not an atheist. :shrug:)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I went to Trader Joe's. It's opening day. Lines? Out to MARS.

I estimate that fire code was violated -- there must have been 500 people there. Seriously.

I could barely LOOK at products, people were just standing around chatting, like it was a cocktail party, and I refused to stand in line for an hour.

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

That makes a kind of sense, but I would think a muscle relaxer like the awesome Flexiril would be better.

And yet, when I took Flexeril for my back, it did NOTHING for me. Diazepam is my precious. And you know, you can't say that to a doctor, because they will think you are a junkie. Nay, I say, I simply love shit that does what I need it to do.

Erin, are you mad, going to a TJ's on opening day?! I drove past the new Whole Foods here on opening day and was astounded at the sheer volume of people trying to get in. They actually had a traffic cop in the parking lot! And we've had a Whole Foods in town for years; that was just a new location! Unreal.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That is excellent! I am so glad to hear that.

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

Got into an accident. Wasn't my fault. He was taking a left turn across me, we both had the green, he chose to go while I was still driving. My car looks dinged, his doesn't. I didn't get his number because I didn't want to get into the "I know it's your fault, want me to not involve insurance?" discussion, because I didn't want to have the fault discussion. But he was turning left across me. So, not my fault.

I haven't decided if I want to levy a claim against him. My insurance already agrees I'm blameless.

Mostly my head hurts and I want to lie down.
