In other news, I bought a cow creamer.
My delight will make more sense to people familiar with Wonderfalls, one of those great shows that Fox axed too soon.

I was once described as a “very bright but reticent young lady,” which I found amusing at the time, both for the flattery and the fact that I knew what “reticent” meant. There is a lot I keep tucked inside my head, where I can sort through my thoughts to make sense of them, so much life lived in daydreams. It would be fun to let more filter out again, and maybe learn to be a little less of a perfectionist along the way.
