Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

I want to know what Coke would taste like if they just took all the sugar out.

How does it compare to Diet Coke with Splenda (which is just... yuck)?

Why do I get to post with you only when I have to run out from the computer in five minutes?

Which is true for me, too! Must run away to go help with a test, which will unhappily run over my lunch break.

Diet Coke with Splenda is some nasty-ass shit. Coke Zero is closer to regular Diet Coke, but more...zingy. There's more fake cinnamon in it or something.

How many kinds of Diet Coke are there?

Oh THAT was a fun meeting.

So there's a very good chance I find out whether or not I get laid off next week.

Guess what also happens next week.

NO MORE ALUMNI NEWLETTERS I CAN'T TAKE IT.

I'm feeling oddly breakable, which I hate. Alone, not one single of these things would distress me too much. All together? I swear, if I spill my drink, I might burst into tears.

Including the flavored ones? Hmm...

Diet Coke
Diet Coke w/Lime
Diet Coke w/Lemon
Diet Coke w/Splenda
Coke Zero

Oh, and C2, which has half the calories of a regular Coke, and also tastes like ass.

And Diet Cherry Coke. Yum.
And Diet, Caffeine Free Coke, which is my usual.

I'm sorry sarameg. Have been in that place of feeling overwhelmed by the convergence of too much; it sucks, and I hope things get better. Particularly with regard to the job situation right now.
