Always better to be overdressed, especially for an interview.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Go Dana!
Except they pay you.
Sigh.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Jessica--did you end up reserving some of the spice mixture for the icing?
Yep. I really liked how it turned out.
No tomato soup in this cake, though, just milk.
Theo, I'd feel weird about linking publicly to this one b/c it's not been officially published yet. But here is the link to sign up as a CI recipe tester.

Yay on the interview rockage, Dana!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The cake came out nice and moist, good crumb. I'd leave almost 1/2 a cup of sugar out if I made it again. Not sure what I'd do to make the icing lighter. Butter, sugar, cream cheese--nowhere to put much air.
Congratulations, Dana. I hope this works out for you.
Friday! I'm so damned excited.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ooh, thanks -- I'd been meaning to do that!

Not a goddamned thing. But I won't be in hospital, I'm not working, and I don't plan on crying through both days. So it may be my best weekend in a while.
Colin's in San Diego, B is hiding. All I have to do is lead three classes. The rest of it can be spent sleeping and not moping.

Too sweet and fatty for me.

Yay, Dana!
