Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

"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

Turns out I had worried needlessly about my evaluation today. It was nice and informal, very positive, and the only thing I was told I needed to work on was providing page design instruction to my shared minion (and in the process of telling me that, my bosses gave me a glowing compliment about my own work).

Also, followed up with a delicious Italian dinner on the company dime. I had lobster ravioli, as well as a bit of a communal pear, gorgonzola, and spicy beef appetizer.

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

Kat suggested a book called, "When Sophie Was Angry."

Wondereful book. Someone gave it to Franny, and of course we gave a copy to her friend Sophie. Franny's favorite part is when she climbs the tree.

Good books: Miss Spider's Tea Party, and What a Hat!, and he's the perfect age for the Richard Scarry books. And lately Franny has been into One Was Johnny and Pierre, but that's because of the Carole King songs.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I don't think it is possible to tell to many cute nephew stories.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Cute nephews are awsome. Allyson, does he have any Berke Breathed books? Flawed Dogs is always a bit hit.

24: Nooooo! Not Edgar! Somehow I failed to hear that it was 2 hours tonight, so I missed the 1st hour. Did I miss anything important?

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

Turns out the Indian candy gave me a migraine. I wish the guy who'd given it to me had had any idea what was in it, in case I could have identified another trigger.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That sucks, ita.

It's okay--it responded reasonably well to medication. I just wonder what was in it. It might be useful to know.

Maybe making a list of the stuff that doesn't give you migraines might be easier at this point though.

Actually, foodwise the trigger list is pretty small. Artificial sweeteners, nitrites and too-high concentrations of vegetable oils. I can even eat things that I can't tolerate the smell of (like mint).

Well, that's something. I'm glad this migraine was easily subdued.
