The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was going to have dixie cups, but I hadn't thought of spoons. I should definitely do that.

I could do both nuts and pretzels I suppose, since I need a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds good -- something for the low-fat and the low-carb. I think people are messy with popcorn. Not me, of course, other people.

I've been sitting here thinking about a cooking plan for the weekend, and now I think brussels sprouts with bacon will be part of it...

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That is just wrong like a wrong thing.

ION, I tried to microwave a slice of Morningstar veggie bacon and the plate exploded. Proof that there's just no there there.

I want a time machine to go to the Paris World Expo of 1900

I've wanted that for years, but that's because the Paris expo is where Henry Adams saw the dynamo [link]

From "The Virgin and the Dynamo"

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. Adams had looked at most of the accumulations of art in the storehouses called Art Museums; yet he did not know how to look at the art exhibits of 1900. He had studied Karl Marx and his doctrines of history with profound attention, yet he could not apply them at Paris. Langley, with the ease of a great master of experiment, threw out of the field every exhibit that did not reveal a new application of force, and naturally threw out, to begin with, almost the whole art-exhibit. Equally, he ignored almost the whole industrial exhibit. He led his pupil directly to the forces. His chief interest was in new motors to make his airship feasible, and he taught Adams the astonishing complexities of the new Daimler motor, and of the automobile, which, since 1893, had become a night-mare at a hundred kilometres an hour, almost as destructive as the electric tram which was only ten years older; and threatening to become as terrible as the locomotive steam-engine itself, which was almost exactly Adams’s own age.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Woohoo! The last of my freecycled things has been picked up! All the big junk is out of my apartment! I kind of have actual space here!
