Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

ISTR Neosporin is okay for shallow wounds, but not puncture wounds. Also, probably best to get a tetanus booster.

Hmm. I'd be a lot more annoyed by the brownout that's happening, and prevented us from watching DVDs, except apparently the Internet still works even if none of the lights do....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Meep, puncture~ma, Matt!

Groupon impulse buying update: I have not pulled the trigger on paintball, tea, or wine tasting, but I did get myself a kitchen scale. Now, I already have a kitchen scale (which I use all the time) but the new one is more accurate, has a greater, capacity, and is yellow like my kitchen.

Finally got my timesheet submitted, hooray!

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

If your tetanus boosters are up to date and the weapon of choice was trustworthily clean and the bleeding stopped, I don't know if the requirement is medical treatment, but you're not going to die of too much doctoring in this regard.

Speaking of things you can injure yourself with, I literally only just now realised those aren't cake forks, those are salad forks.

I don't think any of mine have ever ever been used to eat salad. Lots and lots of cake, but I do extend the metaphor to any dessert that doesn't require a spoon.

Christ, I can't believe I was just grateful AARP told me there are achievements left, because clearly if I don't know how (or why) to set a table, I have a lot to discover.

And I don't know if I need to hold out for an extended version of The Hobbit. SO MUCH POSSIBILITY, SUCH RICH LIFE EXPERIENCES LEFT TO HAVE.

I mentioned I didn't like today, right?

Not to be an enabler or anything, but I got a Groupon last fall for paintball against zombies, and it was the bestest!time!evah!

Zulily tempts me exceedingly with purple kitchen things. I did recently snap and buy a toaster, but it looks like my tea machine which is not purple. Those are my two kitchen directions--brushed steel and purple.

Purple knives! Purple pots! Purple baking tins! But I have only snapped and bought purple towels (and earrings, but they don't count) so far.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I literally only just now realised those aren't cake forks, those are salad forks.

*Is* there such a thing as a cake fork?

I think all of my forks are cake forks by default.

Okay, I admit it: I'm pretty stoked to register for wedding gifts. I want a coffeemaker that can also accelerate particles to the speed of light.

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

Any fork, spork, or other implement can be a cake device.

I kinda want this. [link]
