Panko-crusted goat cheese rounds from Whole Foods are of the devil's hands.
And very, very nummy.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Screw illusion of control. I want that need to pay attention to the car's current state to keep me from distractifying off to la-la land.

I don't know about those, but the same can be said of the tortilla chips made with chocolate. Will my willpower be enough to keep me from eating the entire bag today? Who knows?
When I learn to drive later this summer, I am going to learn on an automatic. It will be easier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure that's my mother's take on it, too. Although I think they have an automatic now.
I got my license driving the driver's-ed guy's automatic, but had to learn stick to actually drive a car that I had access to.

Coding and Sleeping
The manual transmission is helping me right now when my speedometer decides it doesn't want to work. I can judge my speed pretty well by gear and the sound of the engine (I don't have a tach, so I've got to go with sound).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, Gud, here's a solution. Get a pigeon and tape it to the roof of your car. Then get a mirror so you can watch the bird. Your speed in mph will be roughly how many times the pigeon flaps its wings each minute, divided by 4.732837. (I use lots of decimals to give the illusion of accuracy.)

I drove stick for 15 years. When we got our new car, we went with an automatic, mainly because my slightly-wonky knee is my left, and I can't deal with driving a stick in heavy traffic these days.
I miss a manual transmission.
I get my milk from Golden Glen Creamery at the local farmer's market. Sometimes, I cheat and get it from Twin Brook Creamery at the Metropolitan Market. In either case, the bottles are glass and the milk cream line. (Neither is listed on the site linked to with the moo.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I wonder if Subarus are extra popular in SF because of that nifty clutch system.
Mostly the 4WD ones are popular for going into the mountains for skiing.
I had one of those and used to get notes on the car fairly often, offering to buy it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Just got another recruiter that asked me to lie on my resume. Why do they bother? All I will do is give them a bad name.
