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

I was wondering what the weird stock photos get used for, and now I have my answer: [link] . Perfect.

Holy cow, I just watched the men's 5000m final. (Why don't they call it a 5K?) That was intense. I was flailing at my tv.

Spoilers: A sub-4-minute-mile for the last mile! Holy cow!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, Suzi, how'd you do the couscous? I just bought a whole new big thing of it, and am thinking about how to use it.

I saw some nice mule deer bucks tonight on the way home. I even took their picture, but it turned out too blurry for facebook. I like where I live.

Tomorrow's kayaking is off, though, the woman with whom I was going is instead going to Reno to see her dying father. Sad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

We were yelling at the 5k too!

Oooh, and now the women's 4x400! Can't wait.

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

I'd love to know what the GCS blend is. I assume there's chocolate in it.

re: sodastream. someone from my twitter feed said this:

Just heard about an unorthodox SodaStream technique —refrigerate water first, then carbonate.

refrigerate water first, then carbonate.

Wait, what?? Why wouldn't you do it that way?? Are you not supposed to? Because that's how I've always done it, so I have immediately drinkable soda. .

Also, can I just share that I am NOT a spoken-word person. It makes me feel awkward. And my friends know this. But my friends also do that shit. So I went, to be supportive...and one of the people reading was reading about how she had gotten divorced and decided to start going on OKCupid dates, and blah blah...and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time WRITHING from the awkward, because I HAD BEEN ON AN OKCUPID DATE WITH HER. AND I WAS IN THE FRONT ROW. Jesus. Save me from small fucking lesbian worlds. (Apparently she also recently was dating the same girl as my ex-roommate, for a bit, and that girl was the roommate of a girl I hooked up with at Pride, and...yeah)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Unorthodox? Pretty sure it's in the instructions, even. Aside from getting cold soda right away, it takes more fizz, and isn't that the whole point?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yup, I keep carafes of water in the fridge ready to be fizzed because the manual said to.

Meats, that is some classic sitcom material right there. Meep!
