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

Okay, some of you guys are women. If a first date mentioned The Wire, would that be a turnoff. If so, why? And note, it wasn't specified what they said about the show. All he specified was "a boy talked about The Wire on a date".

Maybe the problem is that ladies are on dates with boys? I can't work it out.

Unrelated to that triteness, my mother is on her second week of a white blood cell count too low for chemo. I'm really trying to not think about it. Not winning.

Punishingly Intricate

I have used Alba Botanica facial cleanser in the evening and gentle exfoliant in the morning for years. And a Mario Badescu glycolic cleanser once a week (when I remember) and moisturize with Badescu's aloe moisturizer and whatever Badescu eye cream I have a sample of (my friend carries Badescu at her makeup store so I get samples all the time). I don't use anything special for makeup removal, just regular cleanser.

I guess my face looks okay! Who knows?! I break out very rarely at least.

Our wings are not tired.

My immediate estimation of anyone who loves The Wire goes up about 120% from baseline.

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

I'm pretty sure "mentions the Wire" is a bonus or qualifier or gold star or however you want to phrase it.

The first interaction I had with Bob was when he rsvped to our friends' baby shower, that I was co-hosting, saying that he'd be coming "dressed as Omar."

I love your Bob.

Me too!! He is pretty awesome. His love of the Wire also really helped ingratiate him with my family, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would be A-OK with a guy who talked about The Wire on a first date.

Good news, Theo!
