Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Is that connected with the Big Brother oxy drug bust mentioned yesterday in Reality? sounds similar.

Maybe it is. Yes, it does seem like an awfully big coincidence.

The baby just kicked me!!! I was sleeping and something woke me up. As I was struggling to wake and figure out why I felt like someone had poked me, it happened again and my fuzzy brain went, "Oh, wow, someone DID poke me!" Coolest. Thing. Ever!!! My books told me it was about time that I start feeling this, but this is the first time and it was so amazing!

I immediately texted BF, and he texted back, "Maybe the baby wants you to read the book again!" So it was another round of Goodnight Goon. :)

Great big hugs to Jess, I feel your pain! Hang in there for a couple more weeks!

Also nodding like a lunatic at Glamcookie - on the way to my last OB appointment, Cyndi Lauper's Time After Time came on the radio and I started bawling. I was crying so hard that it made me laugh at myself until I was laughing so hard I had to pee. Hormones are so freaking weird.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

As someone who is giving a workshop on cancer pharmacology tomorrow, I would like to punch Suzanne Sommers in the face.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've invented a new desert. After the weekend s'mores-fest I had chocolate and graham crackers left over (and marshmallows, but I don't like those outside of the s'mores context). I also had a banana I needed to use. So I cut the banana up and laid the pieces on some graham crackers, put squares of chocolate on top, and put the whole thing in the microwave for ~40 seconds so the chocolate got all nice and runny. Delicious! Not sure what to call it, though.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Calli - next time, take whole bananas with you and roast them in the fire like you would a marshmallow and then put them with the chocolate and graham. SO NUMMY.

Ooooh. I like this brave new world of yummy desserts.

Mmmm, the roast bananas thing sounds delicious! I could substitute them for the marshmallows completely.
