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

Does fizzying up your own drinks leave them with a mineral residue taste? Because I've become quite addicted to anything that passes as fizzy fruit juice, and I'm probably spending way too much money on Izze. I tried diluting juice with tonic or other fizzy water (since I dilute juice with normal water anyway), but it ended up tasting too salty. In fact, I don't actually like most of the fizzy juice drinks, just Izze and the World Market brand.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So I was going to make eggplant pasta tonight, but it takes an hour and I'm already starving and I have to go pick up freecycle stuff tonight. But I don't want the eggplant to go bad, it's the first eggplant from my garden! Suggestions on quick eggplant centered meals?

Bella wants outside. Dammit, cat, it is too hot.

Our wings are not tired.

Now I want an ice-cream maker and a soda maker.

My budget this month is already blown (hotel on one of Steve's nights here, and paying the outrageous $400 upgrade fee for my iPhone - because my 3G literally would NOT update with the OS4 no matter how many times my IT department tried, and half of my paid apps stopped working with the old OS already!! Grrrrrrr).

My boss just wondered if he put his foot in his mouth calling me and the male developer "guys." Dude, you told me not to wear underwear as outerwear this morning.

Oh god. My boss constantly stops herself after saying guys and rephrasing to gals. (Our leadership team is all women.) Drives me nuts, because I could care less.

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

Fuck. HIt a pothole on my bike, causing me to lose control and run into a tree. Back hurts like a bunch of muscles are all tight.

Some nice cops gave me a ride home, as the bike's handlebars are loose.

I am one of the guys, also a dude, and I HAVE A HOLE in my perfectly otherwise work-appropriate sweater.

I recommend everyone have an ice cream maker. Home made ice cream is a hella easy win.

eta: Ouch, tommy. Get a hot bath and some anti-inflammatories, stat.

Also, helmets are good - if I wasn't wearing mine, my skull would have hit the tree.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ouch! Yes, anti-inflam and Epsom bath.

Meep! Glad you had the helmet.

ita, suggestions for homemade ice cream? Co-worker gave me her machine the other day and I have no idea what to do with it.

Whee, homemade ice cream.

tommyrot, so glad you were wearing a helmet. The number of cyclists who don't astound me.

Eggplant stirfried with soy sauce over rice wouldn't suck, right?
