I woke up way, way, waaay late. Main alarm didn't go off. Managed to ignore other alarms.
Still got to work at a reasonable hour. But not quite awake.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Nilly - what's frikasse in Hebrew?
And nonsense. None should be miserable.
Ah. Work. You see, work is a four letter word...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a traditional Tunisian stuff-in-a-fried-dough (my mom was born in Tunis). It may sound a bit bland, but on the very few times a year my mom prepares it (and it's a lotta work, so she doesn't make it often), neighbors suddenly become nice to her, just on the hope she may invite them to taste some of that wonderfully-smelling stuff in her kitchen.
Mmmmmm. Maybe I'll have to have an empanada for lunch, as it's the closest stuff-in-dough to me currently.

what's frikasse in Hebrew?
That's the Hebrew. Or rather, since a traditional regional food, there's no name in Hebrew, other than the original name (like, say, baguette, or however you'll spell this bread's name in English) .
Some places who sell a lousy imitation to the original thing (see above, re: my mom makes it only rarely because making it is lots of work and doing it properly is not something to be taken lightly. Um, not that I'm all defensive or anything), call it "a Tunisian Sandwich". They wish.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I bought some stuff-in-dough for breakfast, but it was moldy! So I had to go to McDonnalds and get stuff-between-dough instead....

I dunno, Matt, but I'd pray it's not goD sending a message.
If it is, the message must be "Thou shalt change the channel immediately!"

Best of thesis~ma to you, Nilly. I am fully confident it will be brilliant and on time.
Now I want mallawach. I will have to go looking in the land of Kosher food.

Did you know that server virtualization is a magic panacea that will solve all of your problems?
Yes. Yes I do. Sad really.

Stuff-in-dough is one of my favorite food categories!
Seriously!!! hmmm....I didn't bring my lunch today. I wonder what kind of stuff in dough food I can find in my work neighborhood? (I know, for example, croissants at the French bakery.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tons of thesis~ma.
And now I'm craving stuff in dough. Anything, really, I'm not fussy.
Did you know that server virtualization is a magic panacea that will solve all of your problems? And even if you make spreadsheet after spreadsheet that shows that the numbers can't possibly work, you should ignore them and do the work anyway, because the big boss told you to?
Never mind Matt and SATC, I think this is clearly a message from goD that today is an excellent day to kite out early and be waiting at the door of your neighborhood bar the second it opens. The universe has spoken!
