I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

I've been unemployed for a full month now! I suppose it's time to start the job-hunting process, which means hunting down a copy of my last resume... the one that's ten years old! Um, may need a little updating....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Woo! I might be getting a Trader Joe's in my neighborhood! [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

H-D dulce de leche is of the yum. Their Mayan chocolate should appeal to those who (unlike me) like a generous dose of cinnamon in their chocolate.

sarameg, I'm glad your Aunt is doing well after her surgery! Open heart surgery leaves me exclaiming, "you do WHAT with the WHAT?" because it seems so amazing. (and then I want to observe)

Yay for Trader Joe! I don't know what we'd be eating for dinner without him.

I know I forgot stuff, but I'm pre-coffee so please forgive.

Sparky, are you all settled in to DC? Are you guys happy with the move?

How's the Ultimate Frisbee for Mr. Sparky?

I don't eat ice cream any more, but I remember when I was loving B&J's From Russia With A Buzz - coffee ice cream with coffee and chocolate bits in it. Yum!

I'm told my phone has been ringing all morning. Yet no messages. And no disasters (it usually rings cause something is wrong, so it prompted officemate to check to make sure everything was up.)

Annoying.

And now I have to dive into the first of the month crap. Don't wanna.

I'm totally Sparky.

Only my excuse is skipping lots and having a sieve right there behind my forehead.

In local news, the students' strike is still going (yes, it was two weeks ago when I said that they're striking, and even then it wasn't the very first day. And yeah, the semester may be ruined. Nobody knows anything for sure yet). Instead of TAing, right now, I play online. It feels like the right thing to do, you know?

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

Open heart surgery is cool. Good open heart surgery on a relative of sarameg's is cooler.

I keep being tempted by dulce de leche, and then I remember the dulce is a swirl of sweet and I back off.
