Man on the train this morning: "You know, no one's ever going to marry a girl who reads books like that."

Good God.

I'm just grateful the Spirit of the Bitchslap didn't show up. Not that it would be unwelcome in the short term (far from it), but an arrest for assault would mess up the New York trip...

Oh my God, what is wrong with people??

What's your happy thought?

Frankensteining a doll using parts from five different dolls (three models from three different manufacturers).

Face and upper torso already acquired, arms and rest of torso in the pipeline, ditto legs, ditto bakc of head.

Once I get all the parts I get to plug in the dremel and play Frankenstein.

In the meantime, I get to raid Tom's art supplies in order to have a go at painting the face of the Frankendolly

I wish I could transfer some of my social inhibitions to that guy, because I have way too much, and he clearly needs some. (He could do with some intelligence too, but I'm not willing to give that up.)

Clearly he's never met your fiance.
