Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

NYU once raised tuition between semesters.

That one was pretty ugly.

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

There was a similar but more desperate ruckus when the University of the West Indies started charging, period. Those quantum leaps are no shit.

Someone grab Cass before she goes to Mozambique.

She can't, she has plans for the next two weekends in a row.

I ate half an avocado sprinkled with salt with a spoon

I just had dinner, and that sounds FANTASTIC.

I seriously have dreamt of those avocados. So goddamn good.

You just say that because you've never had the buttery goodness of a fresh-from-the-tree Jamaican pear.

I once had avocado "fries".

Slicese of avocado, lightly breaded, fried quickly... litle crispy outside, warm and melty inside. They were wooooonderful.

You talking to me, ita? Fully admit never being to Jamaica. My sole experience with sublime avocados was Moz. FOOTBALLS OF NOMNESS. Rest of the time it was domestic US: US southwest and now US NE. Which sucks, frankly. Even for guac.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm pretty sure I disclaimed 2G1C.

My memory is that you said you weren't clicking on the link. That was enough warning for me. I've manage to avoid seeing it thus far.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I ate half the avocado with lime and salt and half with sugar.

And yeah, avocados are one of the things that I turn my nose up at since they didn't grow on my grandmother's tree, but it was still good. Just not life-changingly good.

What the fuck is your problem, woman? Time it right, and you can have pear from our back yard.
