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

TJs has some fruit, nut and flax seed bars that I found quite nummy Jilli, but my kids disagreed with me.

I really like the five-seed almond bars. They're very pumpkin-y.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I really like the five-seed almond bars.

Those might be the ones I'm talking about, P-C. I don't buy them often because I find I eat less of something if they eat most of it first. So when they don't like something? I tend to finish the box.

Jilli, if snack bars are your thing (though possibly not as they are not muffiny or sconey) then I'd recommend making your own at Element Bar. We made a Noah Bar for Noah that is oaty, maple, chocolate chip, blueberry, with flax seed. SO yum. Pricey though but a fun indulgence.

Ooh, that looks neat, Kat!

P-C, I kinda love them. But, pricey.

The Girl Who Played with Fire is basically "the girl who dreamed of gasoline and a match." Which makes me wonder what the Swedish actually is, because I think the English titles of the final two are so great at conveying multiple meanings.

Totally agree. I love this as the title rather than the originals.

Also, it cracked me up when she got her fancy apartment and furnished it all with Ikea. But I'm easily amused.

I was headed to yoga but realized I forgot my library book on my desk (which I'm almost done with) so instead of going to yoga, I went back to work to get the book. I have priorities.... yoga can happen whenever, but I only have my book for three weeks and I MUST FINISH so I can read the other ones. But I'll also, this book is compelling and I've only had it for 3 days and last night I was up WAY TOO LATE reading.

OOh, that looks very nifty, Kat. Thank you!

I need to figure out a snacky/cake-y thing that is low in fat, but isn't cardboard. Aims' pumpkin muffin recipe looked good, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I seem to have acquired (or at least ordered) a leather wristcuff with a batsymbol. I'm not sure precisely what that was about. And I tried to admit to a co-worker I was in various fannish closets and he pointed out that I might not be as far in as I thought. Slight case of Hellboy lunchbox.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm not sure precisely what that was about.

I'm fairly sure a leather wristcuff with a batsymbol doesn't need to be about anything. Nom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My rental car is a Hyundai accent. There is a orange warning light on the left side of the dashboard that is a semi circle with an exclamation mark in it. Anyone know what it means? enterprise doesn't,and I don't feel like going all the way back there if it is not seroius.

It means your driving experience may be dangerously exciting.
