Ew, gross. Boundaries, bro.

So Sabrina is Samantha?

Secret subtle like a heart attack

Talking shit about the pilot for no reason.

Etsy. Bath and Body. Love actually. Chanel. Wine.

As the family cook, I see you, Frida.

Note to self: have I ever seen a green sunset? — “…the witchy chartreuse light…”

I’m just glad the pixie dream wife didn’t have blue eyes.

Aside: from experience, a ten out of ten pain would not elicit a “soundless” scream

The lesson is don’t bring a contrarian and wary team member on your dangerous mission.

Something, something, my philosophy is right, mine is, etc..etc

It’s almost like astronauts or engineers or scientists don’t give out plans to anyone, and everybody learns what’s going to happen during or after it’s already happened.
