bon bon that's very weird. Also, gross if there is anyone walking below.

I think they should make a SyFy movie about the Mangorine.

I somehow picture this as a horrible thing about a Latina superheroine, which ends up all over the blogosphere as racist. ...I have no idea why that came into my head. Also, "Mangorine" sounds like a mix between a tangerine and a mango, to me, rather than a nectarine. Even though I eat lots more nectarines than tangerines. ...these words are losing all meaning.

I agree that parking on a human (or maybe like, on top of a fountain in the middle of campus?) would warrant a $500 ticket. Not much else. Nothing that would resemble a normal parking job at all, even if over time or in front of a fire hydrant or something.

Love!

So cute.

TBH I don't pay much attention to plot points in Castle: it's a fluffy show for me, and I don't think about it much.

I used to feel that way, but shit got kinda real this season. Especially the finale.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mangorine vs. Nectarango!!!!

Two fruits enter, one smoothie leaves?

Are you still at UCLA?

I am.

I had Grace with me on campus today and dropped her and Katie off at Medical Center. They were walking back across campus to meet me. But because I used the handicap placard when she wasn't in "proximity" to the car, they confiscated the tag and gave me a $508 ticket PLUS another $58 for not paying for the space (though I had).

GROWL. Katie took the kids over to parking right now.

The people who gave me the ticket wouldn't tell me their names!

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

smonster, that first bag looks really promising.

Kat, that's ludicrous. If they're coming to you, the proximity just hasn't happened yet!

Good grief. She was going to be in proximity shortly.

You know what's good? A wrap with rosemary ham and fridge pickles.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Jesus, Kat, that's ridiculous. I hope they back down ASAP.

The nurse at Grace's pulmonlogist called them bullies. Sigh. We'll see what happens.

Kewl.

Kat, I continue to be appalled. If their parking is anything like the university I used to work at, they'll waive it faster than you can say boo to a goose. And I would think their names should be attached to the ticket.
