Blech. I was going to go grocery shopping today, but it's raining too hard for me to feel like walking to the store. I've got tofu and a few vegetables, so I can make something with that.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My cousin spent many years working at a watch repair concession inside Sears, so I have a soft spot for them. In case anyone was wondering.

It's me and my watch-poisoning talent.
I seem to stop watches just by my very magnetic messed upness. I WISH I had one of those bods that can stop a clock. But alas, no.
The last watch I remember wearing was an Alice in Wonderland watch I had in middle school that came with a cool Alice figurine.
Now? I just ask. Everybody has a cell phone with a clock in it!

This is my problem with organic bananas.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

If you get mad and smush them that doesn't help at all, I've found.

a couple weeks ago my roommate asked for help disposing of too many bananas. In a flash of inspiration I split one lengthwise, dotted it with butter and brown sugar and put it in the broiler before smushing it out over some vanilla ice cream. In that instance smushy banana = teh yum.

That does sound good.
Is today over yet?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh dear. Am so tired. The weekend is catching up with me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, all this reminds me that I think I broke your heart rate monitor by having the battery replaced--I'll replace it for you if you remind me what model it was.
Which is now putting me in mind of a half-remembered fact from documentary watching over the weekend. If you were to travel to another point on the planet by means of drilling a hole through the earth to that second point and dropping through the hole--the length of your trip is constant, even if the length of the hole varies. I mean, it'd make sense for the journeys that went right through the centre of the earth, but it also holds for a hold drilled between LA and NY.
And the time isn't that long--twenty two or forty two minutes, I think. We should get right on that. You'd fall, speeding up until you reached the halfway point, and then decelerating to a complete stop at the opposite surface. At which point you should probably get out quickly before you fall back, forever and ever.
