Because books.

Jesus. There was a shooting just one block west of the downtown district last night (restaurants, shops -- although this was at 2 a.m.), and one person was killed. And driving home through town tonight, we had to pull over for cops -- a huge brawl broke out in one of the bars, at least a dozen people were arrested, and campus police were there as backup.

Stop that, people! This is a nice town!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

as a housewarming gift, I gave him a rubber mallet. Everone needs one of those.

Dear heavens, that is awesome.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I just had that Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate with Speculoos Cookie Cream

Sooooo good!

I bought one of those and one of the caramel today. The checker was raving about them. Kinda looking forward to nomming.

The caramel is excellent, but then I'm a sucker for chocolate/caramel. (Although, to be totally honest, I prefer my caramel more firm, less liquidy, like a Rolo.)

I've had a mallet since college (won it and the honor of being the Gremlin in the Midnight Croquet sprees.) And I've found it quite useful!

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

Kat and Lori gave me a rubber mallet with their establishment package. Invaluable stuff.

Watching Fright Night. I like this! It should have done better. Colin Farrell's on fire, so to speak. And I really like how injured vamps act--they're all feral and creepy when their higher functions aren't engaged.

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate with Speculoos Cookie Cream

So sad I have no Trader Joe's no mo'.

Amy, on the bright side, at least your town hasn't had 20+ murders in less than a month? (I AM LOOKING AT YOU NEW ORLEANS.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The caramel is going to be my downfall I think. It felt like I could break off just a section. If so, gooey caramel is just fine with me. I need to eat dinner first though.

Oh, I know. It's just a little disconcerting when things like that don't usually happen here.

You can.

If so, gooey caramel

And it is. But very yummy.
