Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's the best of both worlds!

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

How lazy is too lazy? If I make ice cream according to the recipe but substitute soy milk for cow's milk (but use real cream) is that going to mess anything up other than jeopardise the flavour?

I mean, anything chemical?

I bet it's OK, as long as the fat contents are similar.

Speaking of lazy, I just made a potato's worth of chips in my oven, which was super easy thanks to my mandoline, and I might just make another one and call that dinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Don't know my status yet for work. Those in charge will send out an e-mail on Friday.

We'll be fine - it will get to be a pinch if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks, but if it's a day or two it's actually not a big deal, even a little break.

Yeah, what flea said. Heck it'll be less stressful than when I was out of work trying to get this contract lined up. At least now I have health insurance.

Also FTR, staying home from work today was a good call, since I got not one email I needed to respond to. And I did my laundry.

That's the NYT article on the shut down. Starts out clear and then ends all muddy.

Why has Chase sent me a "we've been hacked" email? I have a Chase account? *Now* I'm paranoid.

The board has a Chase account, if it could be that?

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

I wonder if that was part of the plan?

Probably.

My favorite non-dairy ice cream is So Delicious coconut milk-based ice cream. No cholesterol but I'm sure it's high fat. But real dairy ice cream tastes even better.
