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.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

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.
