See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I like beets. And olives.

Beets frightened me for most of my life; pickled, roasted or plain, they just looked weird and wrong and I avoided them like mad except in the form of borscht with lots of sour cream. I can't remember when I actually attempted to eat one, except that it was fairly recently, but it turns out that I like them very much indeed, and could have been loving them up for the past three decades if I hadn't been so weird about it. Yet another sorry chapter in my wasted youth (and what a waste of a wasted youth, really, to be wasting it on things like not eating beets).

Not sure what chard is, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't like it.

IIRC, chard is kinda like spinach with tougher leaves, sort of, but not exactly. It's aggressively healthy and can be chewy or stringy, but is mostly pretty inoffensive.

ION, I have not worked nearly enough, the end of the day is fast approaching and there's no way I can get everything done, and my stomach hurts like a bastard. None of this is really fixable, but it could all be mitigated if only I had a puppy. I think. Anyhow, I'd like someone to give me a puppy so I could test my theory.

Sorry. You can't have Toto.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Here is my one no fail joke:

Texan picks up a sheet of music, goes ...

"You say tomater, I say tomater, let's call the whole thing off ..."

Texan: "This song is stupid!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have spent a stupid amount of time this afternoon on reading logistics (between copying one thing, picking up another thing, printing yet another thing), without actually reading anything. Oops. At least tomorrow, I'll be READY.

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

Chard is delicious. It's a dark leafy green with a bold flavour -- kind of a cross between arugula and kale. Goes excellently with braised short ribs.

HMOG the puppies.

How do you pronounce Pegotty? It seems like it's one of those British things that's not how it looks, but is it really?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Gus, I love that joke. So cute.
