I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am updating my resume, which is possibly more painful than job hunting.

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

So if you are watching calories but don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting it helps to think of a tomato as the equivalent of, say, a clementine

Key phrase being "don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting" here, since a clementine has about triple the sugar of a similar-sized tomato and twice the calories. So yeah, if you don't actually count anything, they're more or less the same.

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

Holy shit, I'm applying to this job, and I've been launched into a 79-question personality assessment test.

Punishingly Intricate

Don't care if fruit or vegetable. I love them all! And I love white beans even though I just cut the hell out of my finger opening a can of them. I don't blame the beans, I blame myself and the can opener.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Given actual number of calories as opposed to ratio not that different 4 oz clemintine has 20 more calories and a 4 oz tomato. If you are doing exchanges not that different. And a LOT easier to keep track via exchanges than via calorie counting.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Jilli, you have one of these [link], right?

If you don't, or if anyone else doesn't but is interested, there's a local restaurant with about a dozen of those hanging from the ceiling, and the owner has another several dozen in a big box in his office that he'll sell for about $25 less than on that website. Which is still more than I can justify for an umbrella, really, but I've been holding onto his business card for months in case I stumble over a treasure chest or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, Dana.

I have a hard time seeing tests like that as anything but a trap. A full-on, Admiral Ackbar trap.

But I also don't think there's anything to be done with them except answer and not obsess.
