What is even happening?

Cindy -- my particular definition of crazy was including the fun sort as well as the dangerous sort.
Are you calling me a skimmer, miss ita? No seriously, I did see that, and your great day, and your dessert choices, too. I would be coveting if not for the migraine.
So it's okay for you never to call me, but give me a guilt trip because I don't call you as often as you want?
Hee! That's so true. Actually, I talk to my mother every day now, but when I was in college, that was the case. For the first couple of years, we could only call on a pay phone. We had phones in our rooms, but they were for incoming, and on-campus calls, only. I think my junior year, they finally let us get our own phones through the phone company. During the pay phone years, my mother would feel badly that I didn't call, but I didn't really want to be talking to her in front of the whole lounge. In the we-owned-the-phone years, I didn't want to be spending all my pizza/beer/cigarette money.
I am feeling unbelievably first-world whiny right now, but there it is. My mani/pedi was not soothing, and my fingernails don't even look that good! I don't know what my toenails ever did to her, but she punished the crap out of them. AND What Not To Wear is a rerun tonight. Wah.
I think I need hot cocoa.
You definitely need hot cocoa, Jesse. You deserve hot cocoa. Tonight, you might be fulfilling hot cocoa's destiny.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Trader Joe's has mango tortilla chips. Mango! They're mangoed in the way that the Tostitos Hint of Lime chips are limeified. So, not overwhelmingly mangoey, just mangoriffic enough.

Of course, I love fruity salsa, so these chips are perfect for me -- I can eat them with regular salsa and it's like having fruity salsa!

Those who don't care for fruit with their salsafication might not like these chips.

In conclusion, yum.

Those sound good. but I'm still askeered of them. Except I t heart mango so maybe I'd like 'em.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'll settle for mango ice cream for now, although I suddenly want mango salsa.

Just watched Without A Trace. Dumbass ep. CSI was lame too. Oh CBS, where art thou?

Those sound good. but I'm still askeered of them.

Are you askeered of their inherent tortilla chipness, or the fact that they are the spawn of an unholy union between a mango and some corn?

Either way, they're good. I'm a serious spicy food wimp and only get mild salsa, and I was actually thinking that the mangoness would actually stand up to a little more spicy kick in my salsa than I normally like.

The mango: is there nothing it can't do?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mow the lawn.

Well, *yeah.* That's why we have Ugli fruit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cocoa and popcorn have been achieved, and life is getting better.

No cocoa, popcorn, or mango chips here. However, bread is on its final rise and pork is brining.
