Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.
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.

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

What is even happening?
Feh. You all beat me. I totally thought it was an Onion type parody about candy, what with the 'center bar' and all. Remind me not to read this thread if I try to lose weight.

Relieving infantile constipation is not a conversation I'm currently braced to read while eating curry.
ha! must have skipped over that part of the discussion.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hm. I seem to have missed lunch. I tend not to get hungry on non-work days. I'm thinking supermarket sushi for dinner, though.

For lunch I had a tuna sandwich, baked Lays, baby carrots, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. My favorite lunch is the salad Nicoise from Le Petit Cafe near work. It is so good. Actually everything I've ordered at Le Petit is good. Their crab cakes are YUMMY.

The Banana Republic web site SUCKS. Thankfully I'm not shopping, just collecting pictures, but why list clothes that aren't for sale? I mean -- it's on a computer, right? Take it off the screen if I can't buy it, you very mean people.
Mean to people who aren't surfing for pictures, I mean. Since I did gank photos.

Ethiopian flat bread is one of the world's few foods I don't like. Always tastes to me like it was soaked in vinegar. (Maybe I have not had the good version or something.) I like just about every other Ethiopian food I've tried though.

I like the tang of the injera. It works well with the spiciness of the food. I think that it's not designed to be eaten on its own.

Maybe the version of the food I had it with was too mildly spiced - overcome by the bread.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I haven't eaten Ethiopian food for a while, though I do love it. I'm down with anything stewish or saucy.
I had the cuban sandwich for lunch and then an organic fruit smoothie. 'Twas good.
Then I spent too long lunchtime skimming through Sean Wilsey's tell-all memoir
Oh the Glory Of It All.
It was very entertaining, and I recommend it for people who like stories about high society and Big Drama and slightly nutty rich people, or skating or boarding school or San Francisco in the 70s and 80s or bitchy paybacks. It's well-written. Wilsey is in with the Eggers/McSweeney crowd.
There was a lot of aftermath locally, as his evil stepmother is the doyenne of San Francisco society. Plus Danielle Steel.
