Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Taking tomorrow off, as we're flying to FL to see my folks. (The flight isn't until 5 pm, but why push things?) Have to pack.

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

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for Red Lobster. But I vote sushi.

Well, fuck, people are leaving early just no one told me. And excel just crashed possibly losing all my work from the day so I need to stay and recover files anyway. Gah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Clearly, I am now a nationally known bon vivant.

That's been true for years!

Well, fuck, people are leaving early just no one told me.

This is why I went to talk to my colleague about letting his people go! (Not like Moses.) It sucks to realize that other people are leaving when you are a rule-follower who wants to be dismissed! Speaking from experience....

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Why is that a question?

Because I'm a lot likelier to go to the sushi place down the block for lunch Saturday than across town to Red Lobster, and they have a promotion I want to get in on before it ends around New Year's.

Edit: I think I've talked myself into going out for lobster tonight before my sense of fiscal responsibility can kick in regarding bonus money.

Indeed.

Excel has not reopened. I'll give it two more minutes.

Thrive to spite them

I have finished xmas shopping. Somewhere in my packed stuff are ornaments I bought last year and never mailed...so there are those and Mom and Dad always talk about what a treat a Coke was. So in the past they've given my brother and I Cokes on bottles. So I got them Mexican cokes. Root beer for me ( a brand from Maine), sparkling apple juice for my nephew and beer for my brother and his gf. Who won't be there. I don't know what beer they like but I got 2 with interestING labels my brother can pick one. All in glasses bottles.

Our wings are not tired.

Red Lobster has cheddar biscuits. They get my vote.

DH brought me home lobster bisque and blackened grouper from a seafood restaurant that was next door to where he was getting his oil changed. He is my hero.
