I was describing my loathe of overheads to Mr F (short thick wiry hair, loves an overhead): my hair is FINE but THICK like a sandcastle. Water pours on but does not go through

Luckily we had skipped the “accidentally misheard” double tiramisu at this point and were wayyyy elsewhere. We were drinking to celebrate some very local triton bums

I think my current problem is (a) didn’t get it layered last time (b) sweet bejeebus an overhead shower doesn’t rinse (c) humidité

So tonight’s dinner, and we KNEW there would be one, was a place with perfectly okay food but so UNREMITTINGLY upselly that at one point I turned to the two nice girls at the table next to ours and said “you’re getting this too, right??”. Will onestar them on Opentable once we’ve safely left Italy

Every now and then I wish that, rather than the slow bland horrible Metaification of social media, it could slowly cosily Tumblerify

"I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.
Remember, from the movie? Haha!
But really, there was an error.
Try again in a bit.

Ha ha exactly. And the cool kids can be quite nice and welcoming, although you need to slink back to the kitchen for more snacks and not worrying you’re not cool enough

It is like a party. Some people are only here to pick a fight, some are only here to pull, some to show off, etc. I’m here to hang out with the other nice nerds in the kitchen and talk about books and cheese

Social media is 100% what you choose to make it. And for every tedious “ackcherleyyy I think you’ll find you’re wrong” type*, there’s a nice “ooh have you tried Tajín on your sandwich” type
