Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think we got anything particularly terrible as a wedding gift. Pointless, maybe(who needs a Lenox china menorah?), but not terrible. The bowl sounds nice.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I feel like I've heard this story before and then blocked it out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
oh dear, Liese!
Burrell, I think it was you that recommended TJ's Greens Beans & Grains? I'm trying it for lunch today - nom!
Yes it was me, glad you like it too. Very much my kind of comfort food.
Speaking of comfort food, the former cream puff shop up at the corner is now a tonkatsu-style noodle shop. So much yum! And walking distance too. This could be significantly more dangerous than the cream puffs were.

Yeah, not even if I tried!
I had the craziest call at the end of the day with someone who I think just lost it, but really sounded like she had been drinking. She has apparently HAD IT with her job.

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

My ex-fiance's mother had a huge collection of such memorabilia. Everything from Mammy cookie jars to Little Black Sambo advertising tins, and it was displayed all over the house, as if it was just freaking fine and a normal sort of thing to collect. She thought that because I was from the South I would enjoy her collection. It was my first clue as to what an awful person she was. (She really was.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yeah, that's very interesting.
