So, does anyone else ever, like, make up names for the people who you see all the time in your office building/waiting for the bus/around the neighborhood, who you maybe talk to sometimes but you don't actually know their names? Like how the guy I always see walking his dogs used to be "Hipster Arthur" (because he looked like Arthur from Inception ( Read more... )

Many people have ranted long and often about women's sizing in fashion and how ridiculous it is. I don't disagree, but it doesn't bother me especially much...

...except when it comes to button-up shirts. Button-up shirts are a necessity for the business wardrobes of both genders; men's button-ups are measured by neck size and arm length so that you ( Read more... )

Reposting this from the other day, because I still have no idea what to do regarding this, or how to go about warning:

Ok, so. Myi_reversebang fic has some imagery that (in my mind) is a pretty clear callback to September 11th. It's been ten (almost eleven, shit) years, but that is still a pretty traumatic event for a lot of people, and with good reason. So I ( Read more... )

In follow-up to my last post, uh, three weeks ago - took extra Ativan (0.75 mg) in preparation for the second dentist appointment. Was unsuccessful in getting the mold made; had a real swell panic attack. Came home and slept for three hours, then completely zoned out the rest of the night. That was not a good day.

I have an appointment with my ( Read more... )

 So this evening before choir rehearsal, I stopped into a local coffee shop - the Coffee Bar, so-called because they also serve alcohol. To which I say: You are a hotel coffee shop. There are two other restaurants within this hotel that serve alcohol, and an Irish pub across the street. Stop trying so hard and make better coffee.

Uh. But that's ( Read more... )

Ugh, you guys, my knee's been freezing up lately. Not like freezing up freezing up, but I'll be walking around and all of a sudden it'll be like somebody grabbed my knee. This is unpleasant, but not out of the ordinary when you've got the knee issues that I do. Mostly my knee's been acting up because of the humidity around here lately, and because ( Read more... )

AUGH. So. Frustrated.

I had this recipe for stuffed pork loin, and it was the simplest damn recipe ever. I have the ingredients written down:

• 3-4lb pork loin
• 2-3 apples
• kitchen string (for tying it up)

See? Simple! No onions, no flour, no stuffing mix, just easy-peasy lemon squeezy.* But a few months ago I lost a bunch of my bookmarks, and now I don't ( Read more... )

Oh, WTF, ABC?

NO. NO, you do NOT get to interrupt my Cashmere Mafia for three minutes to tell me that Obama conceded. Seriously? The news is in TEN FUCKING MINUTES. If I cared that much, I'd be watching an actual NEWS CHANNEL and not Cashmere fucking Mafia!

Thanks, assholes. Pretty sure I missed a very important plot point in there while you were ( Read more... )

Just getting out of work. Missed my train. Some bitch came in & raised a fuss about her bill at 7Pm exactly & stayed till 7:30. I hate people.
