I tried to make some Thai black sticky rice, the way my mom used to make it and I got close, but it isn't quite it. Part of my mistake is I got "unsweetened coconut drink" instead of "unsweetened coconut milk". I thought I was being careful with what I chose, but I obviously missed. Still, the results are nummy, just not quite the taste I was hoping for.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Pointillistic pointer! That really is wonderful, ita.

Kenyon College, 30th Reunion! (Not that close to Cincy, though.) My college roommate bought me a plane ticket.

Everything in Ohio is drivable. That's a perk of being a smaller state. t edit Google Maps says Kenyon is on the other side of Columbus. When I thought "That's *nothing*", it occurred to me that maybe we run around the state a bit too much. Boring as hell drive, though.
Jesus, my 20th college reunion is this year. Holy balls. t edit again Huh. My reunion is the weekend of my birthday. Fuck that. Unless my girls are going. Maybe I should e-mail them.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We have literally (LITERALLY) eight billion "small" boxes that could be used to pack. Your standard book box size. My mother-in-law will not use them because "movers hate them".
My feeling is that I don't give a shit, since the movers are being paid to move my stuff, but this is another one of those things I can't complain about. We are at least getting free used boxes from the moving company.
Also, they won't let me pay for anything, including groceries and dinner, which is kind of them, but also makes me feel bad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
movers love book size boxes because square shit is easy to put in a truck.
trust me on this. my movers told me so. plus, they are just about the only thing you can use for heavy shit - like books.

Well, anything that's left to pack after they've left will be going in those damn boxes.

My movers would have LOVED for me to use small book boxes instead of the giganto file boxes I packed a literal ton of comic books and magazines into.

Yeah, I'd think they'd prefer small heavy boxes over large impossible boxes!
Secret confession, I really like packing. It's the unpacking I cannot abide.
I am le nubian, because I hate packing, but love unpacking. It's like a fresh slate! How can you not like that?!?
