Right, baking time has to change, but I've never had a loaf not rise like a muffin that I can recall. I may have to experiment.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I just had a really interesting meal with Polgara and family. I wish I had responded to the woman who was manning an arts and crafts table for kids and said, "No you can't take a crayon. You can send the kids over because we are providing a service," with, "have you been fingerprinted? Do you have a CPR certification? What ECE credits do you have? Have you had a TB shot? Because I work all day with kids and I have those things. You, on your cell phone while entitled kids sit and color? NSM a service as you want a tip." Or at the least, I should have said, "I wouldn't trust you with my kids."
Oh man. I've also realized West Hollywood people are not my people. At all.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
You frame it like parents just are dead-eyed, and it's because of their kids.
So it wasn't just me who read it that way?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Sorry, insert foot. I meant specifically in the pictures, although I don't think that helps. Outside of what my camera captured, when I was actually at the event, everyone seemed happy. I'll shut up now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You know, some family therapists actually look over family snapshots with clients and point out aspects of the relationship that is evident in body language. I mean it's one thing if ONE spontaneous snapshot hints at dysfunction (because everybody has off moments, days when they're worried about something, pain, etc.), but when it happens over and over, something is off.
Note they primarily use snapshots rather than posed family portraits when everyone is supposed to be smiling. It's those spontaneous moments when people are being themselves without the awareness they're being watched that shows you a lot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Except, if I don't think the picture is of me, I'm not engaged with it. And my eyes are naturally sleepy and my mouth turns down a little if I'm not smiling, so I generally look either high or angry.

After I started on the anti-anxiety drugs, I really noticed how much BETTER I looked in pictures. Not that my features had changed in any way, but my body language and facial expression changed to be way more attractive.

That's nice to hear.
ION, does one just have a phone interview from one's office? That feels so creepy! And I know the walls aren't that good.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I've done it, but if there's somewhere nearby that you can step out to and do it from your cell I think that's generally more comfortable. And especially if you feel like you might be overheard.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It's those spontaneous moments when people are being themselves without the awareness they're being watched that shows you a lot.
If someone takes a bad picture of me and infers that it's because my children have rendered me dead inside, I'm pretty comfortable saying that says more about their issues than it does about my family.
