Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

Red peppers are good. Not sure if I've ever had pea pods.

I'm so pathetically excited by the mandarin--I can toss a couple into my krav bag, some in my purse, and voila! Chewy juice.

Now I'm missing the ortanique--an orange/tangerine hybrid that's structurally more like an orange, and produces some amazing juice.

The status is NOT quo.

ita, I feel the same way about mandarins/clementines. Le YUM. Alas, I'm out right now. I wonder if I have anything remotely appealing and yet healthy...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I've found that a ruby red grapefruit long about 3:00 gives me a nice jolt for the rest of the day. So much so that I am a) down to 2 diet Cokes a day as opposed to 4 and b) down 7 lbs!

I can't eat grapefruit because of one of my meds. Phooey. I can, however, eat Trader Joe's freeze-dried mangoes. Mmmmm.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Go, Aimee!

I am stopping at TJs today to pick up dried mangoes, dark chocolate covered raisins and a bag of their dried cherry/blueberry blend for my post-op hospital snackage. I was told to eat a lot of fiber, so....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, dried cherries and blueberries together sounds fab.

Yesterday's Ellen show explained Kelly Preston's dress: John Travolta picked it out. No taste!!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita convinced me to go eat a tangerine. It was good.

It really is helpful having a regular fruit dropoff at this job. They don't even have a candy/snack machine in this place.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am like Matt wrt dieting. Trying to be moderate just ends up with me not dieting at all. Tthe trick, for me, is finding a way to be extreme enough to fit my psychological needs yet moderate enough to be something I can stick with long enough to get myself in a healthy range. Atkins worked well for me, but DH is convinced it can't possibly be healthy and freaking him out with my diet doesn't help with keeping me focussed. I'm trying something new starting today, actually.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Red peppers are good. Not sure if I've ever had pea pods.

I think pea pods are what I'm calling snap beans. Ditto on the red peppers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Low-carb works really well for me, but I have to get into the mindset of No White Food Allowed At All. No allowances.

Judging by the scale, I should probably do that.

Shit I Didn't Say: Aw, never mind. It would be much too long a post.
