Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

BB sounds like Survivor All-Stars. People should be catching on to the Romber strategy, but they don't yet.

But you're still reading the bad fac, so it's not like you're under some upside-down spell, right?

I am. And still writing the... err. Well, probably badfic. Well. Something. That one no one gets to see. With the thing and the stuff and the...

Oh, I don't know. I've given up on my brain. At least it's not Kissinger, is all I can say for myself.

But I'm still deeply ashamed. And have, like, ten other projects I should be working on instead.

Also, 77% cocoa solids chocolate = too sweet.

I've got 85% cocoa sitting right here that has surpassed my tolerance. 77% is just about right.

It's this going to limited sugar thing. Fruits are good, chocolate NSM.

I hadn't had anything weaker than 85% in a while. May have to give in and just go for the unsweetened.

I wish you could get less sweet milk chocolate. I'd like the sweet of dark, but with the creaminess of light.

You're a braver man than I am, Gunga Din.

On Food Network, there's a guy who does a show where he taste tests food on people on the street. One show was, "Would you rather have this 50% pure chocolate bar or this 100% chocolate bar?" It was amusing to see them taste 100% chocolate.

FYI: the second showing of Eureka is playing an hour earlier than I expected, i.e., it's on NOW not at 11 Central.

Nah, I've just trained up to it.

When your chocolate norm is 92%, there's nowhere else left to go, really.

Huh. My mouth just went utterly dry. Excuse me while I chug some water.
