sarameg, I'm glad your sister and her family are all right! Tornadoes are very very scary.
This was a fucked-up Monday. I hope it doesn't set the tone for the rest of the week.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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

Yikes for all the shifty Mondays, and yay for Theo's and msbelle's and Erin's job news and double yay for PUPPY!!!
My day was ok, included connecting with someone I miss (who's just on the other side of the Industrial Canal, please just slap my lazy face now.) Also awesome bbq for lunch and even awesomer beer dinner that I just got home from.
I hope Tuesday is much better for y'all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I got addicted to some nice shit when I worked for a Lancome/L'Oreal distributor, but right now there's nothing I'd rather have than Mario Badescu. It's one of the few email alerts I'm subscribed to, so I can stock up when they have sales and free shipping and the like. And my skin reacted sufficiently negatively to its absence that it's something I'll work out a way to include in my budget.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Watching Set It Off. Well, for at least the next few minutes. I can't believe I ever liked this. It's really stiff and awkward.
But it has gay Queen Latifah!! What's not to love there??
Lancome's Primordiale serum (when I worked for Lancome, I got addicted. SMOOOOOOTH skin. LOVE), and Smashbox's Tinted Moisturizer with SPF for day, Philosphy's Miracle Worker Miraculous Anti-aging Retinoid Pads and Clarin's Super Restorative Night Cream for evening.
I get so confused by the multiple layers of stuff, and the different things for day and night, and so on.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, I also wanted to gripe earlier that I went all over and couldn't find jojoba oil. But ita !'s "ask" approach never occurred to me. However, I still have ten bucks on my gift card so I'll try again. Or get nail polish.

Great news, Theo!
Yesterday I learned not to order bananas foster cheesecake at Longhorn Steakhouse unless you haven't eaten in several days. It was heavier than the rest of my meal combined! Fortunately I found the willpower to eat only about 1/4 and gave the rest to my folks to avoid temptation. (Not as evil as it sounds - my mom is still underweight, though no longer dangerously so, and anything I can do to encourage gain is of the good. Passing that cheesecake on to her is the closest I can come to the direct donation of pounds that I've joked about.)

I just ate a third of a pie. Blueberry pie. So yummy. Omg. I like the crust, but I could just do the blueberries alone. They were "boreal blueberries" from Quebec, via trader joes.

Cindy, Strega, you guys need to stage an intervention and get TWoP Howard to seek professional help. S/he is editing poster's comments all over the place to delete things like "Am I the only one?" as boards-on-boards discussion, and is apparently staying awake about 23 1/2 hours a day to do so. There is no longer ANY sense of proportion or appropriateness to this person's oversight.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, today started off badly. Groggy, achy ... and the bus I wanted to transfer to went right by the stop without pausing, leaving me and another person standing. Which meant I had to transfer to the train, which meant another whole fare. And the machine lied about how much was on my farecard, so I added some money to it when it turns out I didn't have to.
Luckily I stopped and got half and half to put in the (otherwise undrinkable) office coffee, so I can get properly caffeinated.
