Shir, my rants get better. Not sure that really helps, though. If I could just study without worrying about it, I'd find out if an MFA would really make me a better writer or not.(But if it's not, special to do that, would people still make the connections that are the point to those things?)
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Glad for your check-in, Shir. Hard to believe it was just a year ago and change that I was showing you around San Francisco.

Always good to see your pixels, Shir
Y'all. I get promotional emails from some of our brands, and the one I just got for our highest end way-too-expensive-for-me cookware features an influencer using a skillet to cook on a grill. I can't tell exactly what they are cooking - maybe really big scallops, or some sort of patty? But instead of putting them directly on the grill above the nice bed of coals they have going, they have them in a skillet, and the skillet on the grill. WHY?!?! This is a $300 dollar skillet, being used for something that requires no skillet at all.
I am appalled. This is way worse than using a hammock frame.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Love you too, Shir. Remembering that hug last year always makes me smile. Thank you.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Hey All! I have no idea how I got so far behind again, but here I am, caught up at last! Far too much to Meara, so I send general vibes to all of you who mean so much to me.
Since I usually take a day or two off for my birthday, and my company started giving us Juneteenth as a holiday last year, I decided that I deserve a 5-day weekend. And once I decided that, I decided I wanted to do something with the time rather than just slounge around the house on a 5-day staycation. So I recruited one of my girlfriends for a girls trip/road trip. We drove up to San Simeon with stops in downtown LA (at the Last Bookstore) and Hollywood (to replace my "Hollywood Princess" snowglobe- what can I say, it has a crown!). We went to Hearst Castle today, and we're squeezing in a quick run over to Solvang. We're heading back south tomorrow with several tentative stops and staying in Santa Barbara overnight and back to San Diego on Sunday. Very fun and quirky trip so far (just like us!)

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds like so much fun! Enjoy the rest of your birthday weekend!

So fun, Epic! I saw the pictures on FB of you two scamps at the Last Bookstore.
