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

I like this plan. Where do we keep our private jet?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm afraid if we go to Japan, I will not be able to eat anything but sushi. ALL OF THE SUSHI.

Because books.

I could eat some ramen right now.

In completely different news, this video is gut-wrenching. A woman who took a picture of herself every day for a year, during a horrible year in her life. The transformation is incredible and heart-breaking. (Some of the images might be disturbing, or triggery for abuse, I guess? Just a warning.)

Instead of having really for real ramen, or delicious fake ramen (look, it's noodle soup, even if it's cheap and substandard noodle soup it's pretty good), I am making myself something out of the four things that the handy dandy Still Tasty app says are the most past their best by date in my kitchen (that I haven't already been inspired to toss due to mold or whatever) - a tortilla, tomato paste, garlic cloves, and muenster cheese.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That settles it, I'm going to the ramen bar on 57th St for lunch tomorrow. YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO JOIN ME.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I was going to take the soup I made to work for lunch tomorrow, but I think the tupperware is also packed.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Actually, Jessica, I will be in New York in mid June and would definitely be down for some real Japanese food. I will be starting my food planning soon.

Re: cross section of people at the marathon representing the three dead... that's one of the reasons I was so terrified when I heard the news. It could be anyone down there watching for whatever reason on a lovely Boston spring day. It could be anyone.

Re: ramen (on my kindle so can't cut and paste) there was this popup here called "Noodles and Pie" which sold various ramen flavors and, you know, pie.

:: checks Google maps for closest ramen bar::

Huh, closer than I thought. But not close enough to go to for lunch tomorrow. Alas.

Oof. No lie.
