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

So it seems that my plane (which was supposed to take off 40 minutes ago) is here, but the crew is not.

Anyone know how to fly a plane?

I always crashed on takeoff (if I even managed to get airborn) on computer flying games, so I can't help.

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

Yesterday I decided I'm never having kids. Weirdly enough this article on childbirth made the idea seem more appealing.

SO now Smith probably cancelled also - that is two of the new shows I was watching.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm just glad I never started watching, even though I meant to! Also, why are we both on that email list? I don't even remember signing up!

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

Cybervixen! Hi!

Hey, CV!

In a perhaps misguided move, I'm having hot chocolate with rum cream mixed in. This is, if I might be permitted to speculate on my motives, because I kinda don't believe a hangover could be worse. If I was really motivated I'd shoot for a suggested "rum coma" but I think that might take too much rum.

I know I have a high alcohol-specific tolerance for rum, but it's almost making me self-conscious. When I share some of my rum drinks with a friend I hang out with he can taste rum variations better than I can, up to a ceiling. And his "gack! ah!" ceiling is below where I can taste the rum over the other ingredients. I, however, am gagging on the sugar in the mixed drinks and he never notices.

Seems I have put enough rum cream into my hot chocolate to sweeten it significantly.
