I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Such a thing exists?

Yep. We used to mix it 50/50 with Tang.

I love the Kashmiri Chai, and may try that if the instant route fails.

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

At least he was reducing the cream, otherwise ... nah, there's no otherwise.

This week is the week of me being handed other people's tasks. This week also seems to be the week of people misjudging effort required to complete tasks. This week will *not* be the week of nagging ita.

I was at a home with one of these recently. It looked very nifty indeed. But it can't play iTunes music shop protected AAC files. It doesn't mention if it can play other vendors' protected files. Apple's been pretty clear that iTunes is to sell iPods. The AAC protection ties into that. However, as digital music becomes more and more commonplace, is there any hope that music DRM will go by the wayside as people try and integrate it into everything?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

oy. School starts Monday. Isaac's daycare starts today, so I'm trying to get all my handouts squared away before classes begin.

So far, the best thing that happened today was finding a box of Godiva chocolates that didn't get to my desk until after maternity leave started. Turns out old candy still tastes good.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Ah, actually it was Ethiopian injera that I was mistakenly thinking of, rather than naan! I do recall not liking naan at the Indian restaurants I've had it at, but it wasn't the "am I supposed to eat this or use it to polish my shoes?" reaction I had to the gray mystery bread.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Mystery solved! Although I feel sure, Matt, that you have still not had good naan, because good naan is heavenly. Brushed with butter and garlic, or with mint or cumin dusted on top... hey! Now I'm hungry again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ijnera isn't grey and slicey! It's bubbly and sour and yum.

I have realized that in general, I like anything that's sour/tart or hot/spicy. Or lime.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm not having Indian food tonight.

This is making me VERY unhappy.

I shall now pout.

I am not having anything until my friend comes to pick up her dog.

This thread is much better to read when eating lunch than Bitches, at least today.

Back to the Word document I inherited. First I clean styles, then I look into actually completing it.
