I saw my nephew last weekend. So, of course, I have had a nasty cold all week. But I'm home now, and I'm not going in tomorrow, and I have hot & sour soup.

Anyway. The nephew is now obsessed with spaceships. I think he skipped right over dinosaurs, which is kind of sad. I was showing him a comic because it had spaceships in it, and he was identifying boosters and capsules (not correctly, because they were comic book spaceships, but they did look like boosters and capsules). He was very, very concerned with finding the hatch on the spaceships. And making sure the hatch was closed.

In conclusion: my nephew is cute. Even if he did give me the plague.

A coworker just walked by and complained that it smells like death near my cube.

Eww.

Sorry. The first thing I thought when I saw "free sushi" was "bargain sushi" and what Tony Bourdain had to say about that.

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

Death, or decay? If death, black? He needs to be specific.

Right, like does it smell a little like death or a lot like death. If a lot, what's his basis for comparison.

See, I would have just wanted to tell him. "Yes, it is death. Better flee while you can, and not come back."

There's a slight chance I'm anti-social, isn't there?

Nah, but then again I'd have said somehthing along the lines of "Thanks, I'll make sure to hide the next body somewhere else" and given a Wednesday Addams smile.

I just decided to be healthier and replace one of the rolls I have with soup for lunch with fruit salad.

Increase in cost: ~$2.50.

Okay, lunch was pretty cheap anyway, but I'm not sure I want to be healthy every day.

Unless it's sushi.
