I think of cookies with oatmeal and chocolate chips as being Chocolate Chip cookies w/ oatmeal not Oatmeal Cookies w/ chocolate chips. And I enjoy them.
Black raisins should go in nothing (that I'm going to want to eat). Golden raisins are okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK. I need to do some prep for a meeting this afternoon, return a call about my thesis, and apply for a job. I want to do none of these things!

Well, maybe it was an old stone and recycled paper.
No, that's the thing. It wasn't. It's actually set in my grandmother's setting, but they got a new stone. From DeBeers. Slavery and rape of the environment. What a nice foundation for a "marriage".
Marriage is a patriarchal sham that continues to oppress women. (1) The father "gives away" the bride -- what's up with that? Is she his property to be given to another human being? Hello, Oedipus! (2) The wife takes the husband's name, which, hello! Why can't the *husband* take the *wife's* name? (Although, really, the wife's name is actually her father's name, so it's all one big patriarchal gang-bang of nomenclature.) (3) Jane Smith suddenly becomes Mrs. John Doe -- what's up with that? Why does she suddenly lose her identity? (4) "You may kiss the bride"? How about "You may kiss the husband"?!? (5) Oh, and don't EVEN get me started on the garter toss....

The problem with getting up at 5am and washing dishes and doing laundry and other great stuff like that is that you're ready for a nap by 11:30 am. Send nap mats now!

What is even happening?
a) There is no greater name than "bang sticks" except perhaps "Budreaux's Butt Paste" but that's for a totally different substance.
b) I prefer my oatmeal cookies without raisins, but raisins in oatmeal cookies are not wrong, the way chocolate in oatmeal cookies is wrong.
c) What's wrongest is flea's abomination of both raisins and chocolate in oatmeal cookies.
Clearly.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The wife takes the husband's name, which, hello! Why can't the *husband* take the *wife's* name? (Although, really, the wife's name is actually her father's name, so it's all one big patriarchal gang-bang of nomenclature.)
The best solution I ever heard to this was a couple who held a big bride's side vs. groom's side softball game on the morning of the wedding, loser takes winner's name.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
I feel that chocolate is a big bully in most recipes. Stick any amount of chocolate into a sweet recipe and it muscles its way to the front.
It's a diva, it's a star, it refuses to play second fiddle to anything. You put a couple of chocolate chips in an oatmeal cookie and they sit there in your mouth shouting: "I'm still big, it's the cookies that got small!".
Raisins know how to work in an ensemble. I can work with Raisins.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
