That's what I was hoping would happen, too, SA. But alas, not.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah. But because of budget, the concern about the lychees was a valid one. It just should have been dealt with right then. "Oh, didn't we pay? Check the receipt, we're standing outside of the shop right now."
Also, what did you think about the rice? Was it really only one person's fault there? Because you really ought to be able to freaking cook rice, especially if you're doing an Asian food dish.

If you find quantum mechanics and black holes fun, you might like this. Otherwise, your head might explode. Or it might not. Or mabye both.
If a Buffista reads something about quantum physics on an unknown web page, is his or her head exploded, or unexploded? Can we ever really know, without going to their house/place of business to check, and if we do, does the act of checking fundamentally affect his or her head's state of cohesiveness?
Re: Top Chef:
I agree with all y'all. And on Chef Colicchio's blog, he more or less stated that Otto's sacrifice saved Marisa's ass. It was complete playground bullshit, and Marisa should have gone, anyway.
Also, it's made clear in Chef Tom's blog that Otto made the entire team aware of the extra case of lychees, and a group decision was made to NOT use them, so it wasn't going to be an unfair advantage anyway.
I also got the strong impression that Chef Tom forcing Otto to take the case back to the store was as much a punishment to Marisa, to show her what her petty behavior was doing to the team, as it was a punishment for Otto for letting them all drive away with it. I doubt she got it, but I'm betting that was a good chunk of Chef Tom's reasoning.

I think the rice was a valid complaint -- knowing how to cook rice is BASIC, people! -- but since it wasn't the entire dish, and the pork was so good, it wasn't going to be the sent-home offense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, surprisingly, I actually kind of wasn't. I sleep in drips of about 3 hours now. Then up for a bit then back to sleep. It's unhealthy.
Ugh, sorry.
I'm glad for the time change coming (though I hate the light situation in the evening ) because it's been getting harder and harder to wake up.
Seriously. I do not get up early! It should not be dark when my alarm goes off!
