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

It's getting cold and rainy here. I'm making a hot and sour albondigas (meatballs) soup for lunch.

I've decided that Trader Joe's turkey meatballs are the third or fourth most versatile protein in the world. The food truck have inspired me to make meatball tacos on a regular basis. (They're really good with baby spinach and hot sauce on a cheese taco torilla.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Did clocks fall back recently? I'm running out of not-self-maintaining timepieces that I actually bother changing. But I would like to stay up to date on this stuff.

The clocks fall back at 2:00am this coming Sunday.

So I see now about the new Gmail. Interesting. I switched over my main account. Doesn't seem like it will take too much getting used to.

I only used to get the humidifier in my room as a kid when I was sick, so I always associate them with being sick.

Because books.

I don't have the new Gmail! I don't think I want it, but I don't like it not being offered. Hmph.

I was out on Sunday, and one of those big clocks outside a store had been changed (or set to change) and I was so confused.

Amy, check the bottom right hand corner of your Gmail account the next time you're in there -- mine had a dialogue box with "Switch to the new look."

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

That is too funny, in a not-actually-funny way.

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

Spousal sexual disinterest came up in a discussion of a relationship in one of my sister's classes this week, and everyone was suggesting homosexuality as a reason, and she pointed out that asexuality could also possibly be responsible. She was all puffed up about knowing about it. It was so cute.

She also riled up my psychiatrist aunt by calling someone crazy. She mollified her by explaining it wasn't a value judgment, it was just a description. Then she asked me to name three non-crazy people in our family (and then quickly disqualified our father's side of the family). I listed myself, and she laughed quickly, and said that negated everyone else I was going to list too. Hmmph. Her estimates are 80% crazy. I don't see why I can't be in the 20%.
