You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Needs some broccoli or something.

I understand the individual words...

BUT GREENS AREN'T BREAKFAST.

This made me remember that in addition to recoiling in horror at being served grits with white gravy and a biscuit in college, there was this dish with a lot of different brightly colored beans and lentils that I couldn't deal with either. Too many colors. God. I've got some weird issues.

Kat, I was just reading about the Baltimore Zoo's sleepover. How fun!

That's how I felt when I read this:

Except naan—BLECCCHH!

Mmmmm. Onion naan.

Oh, man. I want naan. Fresh, hot naan. With tamarind chutney.

Dude. That would so rock.

For the love of God, if you ever see a child swinging a stick at a piñata, drop whatever you're doing and run.

Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thinking back on it, I seem to have had an awful lot for lunch today. First at 11:30 I had some cheese popcorn, but that was really a snack, not lunch. Then at noon I had the kick-ass chicken salad I brought from home (with almonds and grapes). Then at 1:30 I went to a birthday party that I thought was going to be just cake, but turned out to be a full lunch, but I was very restrained and only had a couple of plantains and one piece of blood sausage whose name in Spanish I can't remember. (Edit: morcilla.) And some ice cream cake.

I don't know what my ideal lunch is. It varies.

But that's candy! Candy is ok! M&M's don't reduce me to a quivering lump. Neither does fruit salad. I don't get it either.

Okay, now THAT is crazy-talk.
