Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

Unless her clothing tells a different tale, I'd say give her the benefit of the sloppy sentence doubt.

I think she's just trying to rationalize the sleeves.

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

Cooking thread! So I made chili in my neighbor's 5-qt pot, which appears to be unsalvageable. Luckily, she got it from IKEA so it is easily replaceable. Now, IKEA also has a 9-qt pot for just five bucks more! Given that I was able to feed three of us with the chili that comfortably fit in the 5-qt pot, in order to double the recipe and make enough for more people—or for bringing to a pot-luck or something—I should get the larger pot for myself, which I can use for making MORE chili as well as making the regular amount of chili. Is my reasoning sound?

Wow, flea.(and you should watch it...it's the shit) Okay...where did I get three grand from? Some other nefarious plot, I suppose, but given my lack of fundage and home-repair expertise $700 is a lot, too. That moment at Home depot is a classic for the series, btw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Man, this is why I don't like to read hardcover books -- I'm going to have some time to kill outside of my house later, but my damn book is too heavy to carry!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You mean 9th and Hennepin, right? That area is completely different than it was when Waits wrote that song.

You are correct.
