Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was going to get up and go to the supermarket early today. I am....almost ready to go? Pretty sure it will still be better than 4pm today or after work tomorrow.

Trader Joe's was busy yesterday, and a little busier than a regular Saturday, but not bonkers. The only problem -- and we usually run into this problem on a Saturday anyway -- was finding parking. So Tim dropped me off and I started shopping while he circled the parking lot until someone left.

Meara, I'm supposed to run 7 miles today. But it's COLD and it's supposed to RAIN and I really don't want to! So I may postpone and run tomorrow. I don't know how anyone runs in cooler climates. I guarantee I never would have started my running if I didn't live in SoCal.

Hahaha! Whereas I say if I hadn't moved away from a place that is hot in the summer I never would've started running! It's 36 here (which is super cold for Seattle!!) and I'm in my car with my coat on--trying to decide how long I can stay in here and still have time to hit the ports potty before the race starts!

I bought almost all my thanksgiving stuff Friday because I didn't want to wait and be like "oh clap they have no onions" or whatever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Supermarket was totally fine! Maybe more shoppers than usual, but also more staff -- I didn't even wait in line at all.

Also, pretty pleased that I've been craving a coffee frappe (aka milkshake, people from Elsewhere), so I just bought some ice cream and made one! Luckily, I already had coffee syrup in the house.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today is our Fakesgiving. I am doing nothing. It all feels off and I am the big traditionalist. Faking an acceptable mood. Everyone is on devices and I forgot to charge my kindle so I have nothing to read.

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

Timelies all!

Am being ear wormed with "The Ballad of Captain America's Disapproving Face".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That doesn't sound like a promising start to the Fakesgiving, but perhaps there's something enjoyable and appropriately festive to watch on Netflix? I'm a fan of Home for the Holidays myself. And if all else fails, I am offering that I can be available later today if you'd like to hang out with someone virtually and dish the what.

Yeah virtually hanging out is going to be my highlight I bet. I seem to be lonelier every year. I think living with friends and or forcing myself to date is on the horizon. I may need a national search matchmaker.

That's a bummer, friend.

I wish we lived closer so we could hang in person
