"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I mentioned I didn't like today, right?

Groupon impulse buying update: I have not pulled the trigger on paintball, tea, or wine tasting, but I did get myself a kitchen scale.

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!

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

and is yellow like my kitchen.

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]

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

Hm, my offer does not include zombies. But it seems like a very good price if I could assemble a group of people to do it.

Zulily tempts me exceedingly with purple kitchen things.

I would have gotten purple (I almost always get purple anything if I can) but it was sold out by the time I saw the e-mail. The yellowness of my kitchen is nice and cheery in the morning, though, so I'm good with the consolation color.

I want a coffeemaker that can also accelerate particles to the speed of light.

As long as you are okay with those particles being photons, that's totally achievable.

Mmm, cake. I use my salad forks mostly for salads and my teaspoons largely for tea. Maybe more coffee recently? Way to think inside the box, -t.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, I want to know what everyone's kitchen accessory colors are! Mine is red. It used to be green, and I am cheap and still use the green towels, so it always looks half-assedly Christmassy.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You are in my thoughts.

Thanks, Drew. It's a journey. We'll see where I end up.

Matt, if you don't want to go to the ER, I'd at least consider Urgent Care in the morning.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

All forks are cake forks.
