And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Our wings are not tired.

Me, too. Thanks, Hec!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Holy damn, java! Bad toilet! Bad! Sending you lots of toilet~ma.

Yeah. I was looking at the ecological map. All kinds of plants will go extinct.

I've been reduced to the not-especially-productive strategy of (a) nigh-OCD levels of recycling and composting, and (b) otherwise curling up in a tiny fetal ball with my fingers in my ears whimpering, "Nuh uh, no no no."

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

Timelies all!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

A young man asked to use my phone at the bus stop, and then STOLE IT!

Yikes! What a fuckhead!

(I should password-protect my phone, I should...)

And yikes for java! I hope it's easily and cheaply fixed.

Because books.

Scroll down to see the Dresden Dolls listed as a band that stimulates Christian thought.

Okay then. (Very offensive website, just FYI; banner reads: God Hates Fags!)

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

They called out places like Tibet and the Himalayas, and my gallows humor said, "there goes the yetis."

All I have left is gallows humor.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

People's worst nightmare at holiday parties -- vegans and gluten-free people. [link] The first story had me rolling my eyes forever. People have to eat vegetables that weren't cooked with meat! The party is ruined!

Things that suck: leaking new toilet, phone thief

Zenkitty, I give a lot of things to Goodwill, but these were either heavy or awkward things that I didn't want to try to take there and things that would be hard for Goodwill to sell, like partial boxes of office supplies. The latter when to a good nonprofit.

I've started breathing shallowly.

We get stuff catered by an asian fusion place and there's a great deal of vegetarian/vegan fare. We're doing mexican this year, and while I know that the vegetarian fajitas are vegan, I don't know if they have any traces of gluten. I should have checked. Do corn tortillas have gluten or is it flour only?

Office supplies? I love office supplies. It's a sickness really. I go into Office Depot, and I'm *certain* the key to order and clarity in my life lies somewhere in their aisles.
