We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Our wings are not tired.

I did permanent makeup on my eyebrows a few years ago, but they're pretty much all faded now. I'm going to get it done again, by a different person, in the next few months. It was such a joy not to have to "put them on" daily.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Is the fading away normal?

We got a few inches of snow last night and it is lightly falling for now. The forecast for today got bumped up to 6-10 inches. I hope CJ gets back from his winter overnight soon, visibility is good right now and the plows are keeping up with the snow.

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

So, the YA I bullshitted about in Natter after tommyrot prompted me with the woes of Enid is, slowly, crawling into being. 4500 words, roughly. I posted the very first bit in LJ and there's a link in GWW, for anyone who's interested. 4500 is pretty paltry so far, but even that wouldn't have happened without Natter.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wish I could transplant some eyebrow to those of you who are lacking. Unplucked, I look like Peter Gallagher.

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

java, actually I don't mind the idea of them gradually fading away...I mean, what if I don't like it?

Sophia, ha! Me, I wish I could transplant the hairs on my chin to my eyebrows.

JZ, I haven't had time to read the story yet, but I'm glad it's going along well! Writing is fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Go, JZ!

The status is NOT quo.

Go JZ go!

I just cheered a friend on who ran the Chinatown Firecracker 5K. Now I'm heading home to contemplate my own lack of exercise.

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

I cannot understand the huge discrepancies in the ratios between chili powder and ground beef in a variety of crock pot recipes. The one I'm about to put to cook is 2lbs of meat, 1/4 of chili powder. But there are others with 1lb of meat, and 1 tbsp of chili powder (http://busycooks.about.com/od/hotsouprecipes/r/crockpotchili.htm) and I don't feel the other spices are picking up all the slack. I mean, 1/4c is pretty much one standard spice bottle's worth, I'm guessing, since I have just shy of that, but dude--am I going to burn my mouth off? I am going to put half that in for now, since my stomach is delicate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

That is fun stuff JZ!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Generally I use at least tablespoon of chili powder. But I like hot. I will say that less than a teaspoon is absurd. less than that for that much meat and you don't like chili powder. For a supertaster like you, I would use at least a teaspoon of chili powder, and add more to taste after it is done. (That is taste, when done and stir in more if you think it needs it - which according to my very-different-from-yours tastes it will.)
