I took it to mean she had no reservations about eating any one particular food -- she's not attaching any moral value to Coca-Cola, for example. But she also knows not to drink too much of it, or she feels crappy.
Yeah. But "want" is still doing a lot of heavy lifting in framing that as "as much as I want", and "without reservation".
I think it set my back up because, the way I read it, I see her being in a place that actually takes a ton of thought and attentiveness to get to and saying "but why not just do it this way?" like it's just that easy. Do you see what I mean? I know I'm bringing my own issues to it, obviously. But I suspect I'm a lot closer to the mean than she is, and I'm nowhere near the "but I'd eat cake all day!" place.
I would also be happy to pimp WGW. I went once by chance when i was living in London, then twice after had to make special trans-atlantic trips just to attend. It really is that fantastic.
Did you hear Benny Hill-like kazoos in the backgroud, because that might explain that.
Oog. The thought of "Yakkity Saks" being my life-soundtrack. Oog.
If Benny Hill ends up in Hell, do you suppose he'll be forced to listen to "Yakkity Saks" for all eternity?
(Actually, I have no idea if he's alive or dead.)
Well, um... I hope Satan isn't reading this and getting ideas on how to torture him.
Hello, Allyson, you fabulous creature!
Jesse, do you promote stuff to the queue out of order? Or delete some submissions? Or do I just have a spotty memory?
Um, I had a notion yesterday (? over the weekend?) to put things that were more "newsy" up first. A few times I've seen things linked multiple places that were in the queue for like the day after tomorrow, so I thought it might be worth doing. I don't know. Is that weird?
Also sometimes I'm afraid I'm putting stuff in the queue from the messages out of order.
Also also, the queue has been working sporadically at best, and sometimes I just get flustered when I realize there hasn't been a new post in a while...
ALLYSON! I fell down my stairs! It was awesome!
And then did you realize how much you like Mexican people after all just like Sandra Bullock did after she fell down the stairs in Crash?
This is my first thought whenever anyone falls down stairs. "Do you love Mexican people?"
Then, "Are you okay/Is anything broken/Can I help you up?"
