Whoops. Even after saying I'd have to figure it out yesterday, today I woke up and forgot. So I guess I'm not doing a full fast. Or I'm not fasting from banana bread and coffee, anyway. Thank goodness. I really like coffee. What did I do last year? Does anyone remember?

So I guess I'll do vegetarian. Probably ovo-lacto-pescetarian when it comes down to it, because I'm not disciplined enough. We've been thinking about heading this way ourselves anyway, so maybe it can be a lifestyle change trial run. Which, I know, not the point.

But it will still serve. When I crave meat or whathaveyou, I'll still be reminded of what I'm doing and why. It'll still nudge me out of the daily routine enough to remember Christ throughout the day.

ION, I've been doing this thing where I've read back through years worth of gaming logs. (Text based gaming, so the whole thing's there, typos and all.) I was a warrior mage, so every time someone here mentions "ice patch" I keep thinking it's a spell. Maybe it is. I don't really have any information to the contrary.

Also?

Except we don't have AI yet.

[ominous tone] As far as you know... [/ominousity]

Did I mention that we had crepe style pancakes (british style!) and a paczi for dinner last night?

It was like breakfast and dessert for dinner- Oh yeah!

My kids always get excited when I make pancakes for dinner. They are about as far from crepe style as possible though. I use a little baking powder and lemon juice to make them extra fluffy.

Though not Catholic myself, I have a Catholic co-worker who'll be finishing up Lent around the time my diet is over. Thus, the frozen king cake I bought yesterday will be a treat for both of us when we finish our respective terms of privation!

we sprinkled them with sugar and squeezed lemon and blood orange juice on them, rolled 'em up and et 'em up but good. We pretty much ate standing up in the kitchen. But it was fun.

The pancakes I make use baking powder and soda and buttermilk for the fluff. Delicious.

I've never managed to notice ash smudges on anyone. This may not speak flatteringly of my powers of observation.

Now I'm hold with a nice lady at Coke who keeps saying "wow -- that's completely not to our standards." Now the issue is being "heavily documentated."

It would never occur to me to call this in. Ever.

The latest episode of QI has just informed me that there's a species called "the paradoxical frog." I may have to change my LJ name again.

Things that are Just Wrong: when your underpants are giving you a muffin top under your tights. Dang overactive elastic!

My mom loves breakfast food, so we probably had a full breakfast for dinner at least a couple times a month, if not more often if you count omelettes.

Now that I'm in charge of feeding myself, I really don't do much breakfast food. Except omelettes.

It would never occur to me to call this in. Ever.

Generally, I just figure that the occasional bottle of flat soda is the price we pay to, um... have soda... or something. But calling it in is an excellent way to get free soda.
