THERE WERE NO GRITS AT THE MARKET. I am bereft. Just spinach and empanadas today, I still have apples from last week.
Now I need to clean. I don't wanna.
Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mmm, creme brulee. Also, now I want rice pudding.

Oooh. I think I'll have grits for breakfast. Yum!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, that's classic bullshit -- "those who can't do, teach" and whatnot.
That, of course, I'm familiar with--but I've never heard it at a grade school level. That's a university and up thing, where the teacher is presumably hiding from being tested on their ability to write novels/code/psychoanalyse and instead tormenting the talented folk that are going on to actually do something useful with their lives.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's cold here today, so I think this will be a good day to make a big pot of split pea soup.
Also, now I want grits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fair enough. I have heard the "teachers only need to be a grade level above their students" thing before. Also obvious bullshit, of course.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Trouser jeans notwithstanding, it was a pretty cool thing, with all sorts of folks in uniform, and former Secretary of State Schultz and Senator Feinstein used swords to cut a huge cake. Turns out it was the formal welcome of the city of SF to the Navy for Fleet Week. But my sister hadn't realized that, and the invitation really did say "business casual".
So I got to meet the sheriff of SF and a couple of city department heads, and the Navy Drill Team. These guys: [link]

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
Man, I wanna use a sword to cut a huge cake.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I woke to find that my cold has moved into the hacking cough stage. I probably shouldn't go stand in the cold to watch the Steppenwolf vs Goodman flag football game, huh? Hrmph. And I bought a Goodman hat this week just so I could wear it with my Steppenwolf sweatshirt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, the oven just beeped on my paleo banana bread (almond flour). I hope it turns out, cause it smells great!
