I saw my mom at the assisted living yesterday. She complained about:

Congratulations. How exciting!

Right. Four would be crazy, 12 would be impossible.

Much love to your inner little VonQueso.

SOCIALIST!!! Kinda like Jesus.

Where do you keep 12 chairs?

People love tiny living spaces! That is, people who don’t have to live in them. Unless you’re some kind of zen design genius, you end up tripping over all your shit all the time and paying for offsite storage for stuff like bikes and skis and...stuff.

Urban Outfitters is the one that steals designs from Etsy

I watched all of it when I had sprained my ankle badly and was in a hydrocodone-induced torpor. It was the best curative I could ask for. It is just so lovely and civilized, and you’re right - no manufactured drama or heart-tugging backstory. Just passionate bakers, baking.

I am a white person of a certain age, and at every goddam gathering of my peer group, someone puts on the fucking Beatles. It’s ok music. It’s fine. But jesus fucking christ, how many times do we have to listen to it? There’s a whole world of music out there and yet people trot out this tired shit over and over and…

It smells like the powdered essence of Old Ladies. Every time I buy something at a thrift store, it has some funk like this that never quite goes away, no matter how many times you wash it.

Closer, but I still like to see some supporting evidence. Why Hillary and not Bernie? I think these are the types of things we should discuss.

Bernie and Hillary are serious people acting like serious candidates - discussing policy without resorting to fantastical lies and insults like the other side. They deserve our respect because they’re acting like adults. The “piss off, rednecks” line is more like the blather coming from the other side. Discuss Bernie…

Oh, ok. I watched 2 episodes of Portlandia and then wearied of the whole thing...

If you walk around the streets of Oaxaca (city), Mexico, the scent of chocolate is everywhere. There are these tiny little chocolate mills grinding out local chocolate, mostly for drinking or mole. But they also make eating chocolate, which is a little gritty and full of sugar crystals, a far cry from what we are used…

What is wrong with that? I’m missing something...

Still happening.

Yes, I know a Kale. And a Sage. I asked “Sage like wise, or sage like brush?” FTR - wise.
