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

Can you do that????

Phil legally changed his name to Ultraman. Then legally changed it back after he had a California Driver's license that declared him to be Ultraman.

I was feeling very discouraged about breakfast because our cupboard is bare, but decided that Jacques Pepin would not punk out while there were still eggs in the fridge. And I remembered that JZ had a lot of fresh dill left over from making Tzatziki, so I made a proper French Omelet with fresh dill. (The kind where you work it in the pan the whole time until it's creamy inside and serve it in a sort of cigar shape.)

Really good.

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

I got a compliment today on a necklace Kat bought me. Most of the time when I wear this I get complimented. Good choice, Kat, and thank you!

Scientifically speaking, I have found dragonflies get more compliments.

Oh, man. I should have changed my name when I became a citizen.

I did, obviously, ask if they could force lower case. They could not.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

proper French Omelet

Mmm- I would love to find a place that does these for breakfast or brunch, instead of the giant overstuffed monstrosities. (each to their own, but I don't tend to enjoy them.)

What Would Jacques Do? is an excellent life philosophy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It would be really cool to only have one name and have it be your surname.

One of the teachers at my kids' school goes legally by only her surname. She's hella cool.

I am so ready for summer to be over. My kids are driving me nuts.

I just blanch at all those web forms that can't be submitted without first and last names filled in. It would really chafe me to have to fake it.

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

Maybe I'll legally change my first name to Zen. I like it.

But then I'd sound like I'm 20 and my parents are New Age hippies, wouldn't I? I can't pass for either New Age or 20.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Isn't Episic the flavor that allows women to be ordained? And I recall that they were the only church to have an official presence at the recent pride parade in NYC after the gay marriage passed.

They don't just show up at Pride, they also ordain teh gays. There is a significant queer population at the NY Episcopalian Seminary, from amyth's tales when G was there.

I *love* pony play. LOVE.

Did I ever send you a link or have you seen Unmata's ode to pony play?

I love the last name "de la O." ita, I think it suits you.

For some reason yesterday I was trying to think of fandom where the car is important.

Ghostbusters!

Nora, how are you and Tom feeling?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm actually still surprised when I meet an Episcopalian priest who isn't a lesbian.

Right? I only see them as dinner items at Haute French restaurants. Even the French influenced breakfast places around here make American omelets. This was simple and delish: two eggs, whipped and worked in the pan. Fresh herbs.

What Would Jacques Do? is an excellent life philosophy.

Watching him teach omelet technique on YouTube he was the first person who ever really explained what's going on. "You have to break down the albumen or the white gets hard in the pan. You can add a little chervil, or a little parsley..." Gallic shrug indicating anything beyond that is excessive to the point of baroque. Also I like the way he says "albumen" and "chervil."
