Austin has no magic shop that I can find.
And I don't mean M:tG. I mean 'place I can go to buy silly magic trick gimmicks because I'm a dork who likes them sometimes.'

This reads like a Mage character's background.

"She loved magic, but after looking high and low for a store that sold tricks and tools of prestidigitation to no avail, she noticed a door that she couldn't quite remember having ever been there before..."

I am grumpy. Short check and lots of bills means that I can pretty much afford to make one grownup thing this week -- pasta aglio e olio. Which is really just a fancy name for something dead simple. Pasta, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice. Easy.

On the upside, it is delicious.

On the downside, it sits in my stomach like a lead ball.

I rarely make pasta, but it's dirt cheap, and while rocking a whopping $3.27 in my bank account, that's gonna be about the only option.

Ugh. Friday cannot come fast enough.

This is my go-to at those times. It's still pasta, but it's super delicious and a bit lighter than most.
But I know that feel and I'm sorry

Art show weekend, complete.

Physically, the setup/breakdown is murder. We have to find a better way, and I keep looking for one. Seems like that's going to have to be a higher priority this year. We're leaps and bounds better than how things were before the business got handed off to me to manage, but there's a ways to go yet.

The folks in our room were all awesome, so even though there were few people attending, we kept ourselves entertained.

Still... I am totally out of my ability to people for a day or two.

Dear lottery fairies: please? Because not being able to shop at these things is also murder. (Three cheers for barter, though.)

Baked should rhyme with naked and yet it does not.

[Ninjakitten]

@mietze Depends how baked you are.

Someone recently gave me a baby spiderplant off of their plant.

This thing is going to die because one of my cats keeps uprooting it from its pot. They don't even do anything with it. They just yank it out and leave it next to the pot for me to find.

fuckin' cats.

Today just sucks out loud. Two different jobs telling me that I'm not good enough. I found out it is possible to have a screamin' demon panic attack while so exhausted you can't even speak.

[JinShei]

My brain: exhausted, you should sleep.
Also my brain: here, have random mad anxiety at 1.30 am.

It is 4.30am. Going to be tired. Sodding hell.

Spider plants are slightly narcotic for cats.

I had to finally take mine to school and keep them there, and then over the summer I yell at them to LEAVE THEM ALONE.

I'm just like WHY DO YOU YANK IT OUT AND LEAVE IT RIGHT NEXT TO THE POT.

I'd almost feel better if they did run off with it and chew it down to a nub. Then it'd feel less like a slight against me.

I bet they get freaked out when it doesn't stay in the ground. X.x

There's two of them. A bigger one and a smaller one.
They only pull out the bigger one.
And they drop it in the same place every time.

I wish I knew which one of them did it.

There's a 'usual suspect' when it comes to bad kitty behavior, but he's not the one I keep catching chewing on the plant.

Something like 80% of my past week's meals have been soup. The same soup.

I feel guilty for complaining about this because it's a really lovely soup and this is first world problems to the max... but I really don't want any more soup. ;_;

get your asses over to my house. I have food I need to clear out of my pantry so I can justify changing my diet over.

I'd kill for some pasta aglia e olio. It's an everything soup. Carrots, peas, potatoes, chicken, sausage, other assorted leftovers as necessary.

I just realized my computer screen is shattered down in the corner.

Blargh.
