Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My favorite low-carb dessert was frozen blueberries (still frozen) with cream poured over. It was like ice cream! OK, not really.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who eats grilled romaine at all? Isn't it, like, lettuce?

A favorite restaurant does a grilled lettuce salad and it seems weird but it's actually kind of delicious. And I just made a recipe from this month's gourmet that has shrimp and stir fried romaine. And it was perfectly yummy.

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

Well, now I'm all hopped up on protein and done with my customer service calls. Time Warner gets dinged down on two counts, because the person I spoke to first was contradicted on both his answers by the person he escalated me to.

On top of that, when I asked for escalation he said he'd see if there was "a manager that will take your call." Will? Will? Motherfucker, I'm the customer. At least lie and say "can."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Time Warner sucks donkey balls. Four months in a row, their automated payment system kept dropping a zero from the end of my balance, so it would say I owed X dollar and six cents, instead of X dollars and sixty cents. This did not fill me with confidence, so I made my payment to a person each time, and each time I mentioned that something was wrong with their system. Never fixed. I mean, it's only money.

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

There's a good piece at Salon about the long running battle about voter fraud between Dems and Repubs that is the backstory of the U.S. Attorney firings.

I guess I hadn't really understood the issue properly because everytime I heard little snippets about voter fraud I just thought, "But the Republicans are the fraud-a-roonies! Bush wouldn't be in office without voter fraud." But actually it's one of those perception/rhetorical divides.

What the heck is jicama, and how am I supposed to eat it? I've got two little slabs of it in my lunch, but have no idea if it's a fruit, veg, carb...what?

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

Jimama is a root/tuber, similar to a potato. Flavor and texture are closer to an apple or pear. Almost pure starch, but also very high in fiber.
