I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

working and watching football. I hate formatting ppts on a laptop, much less a single screen. I am not sure how I ever worked daily on a single laptop screen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Onion and garlic are both legit bagel flavors in my book, but I'd rather have sesame. Mmm.

I need to expand my bagel horizons now that Juniors has closed. It's bagels were never the best anyway, but their cream cheese and lox could hold their own. For now, I guess I'll go back to my old standby of Fred's Bakery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

meara, I thought you meant they were out, or something--that you had a valid expectation of it. I've also never seen "wheat" bagels, but I suppose it's not awful.

So not a not an "eat a muffin, Whitey" thing.

Once you put the modifier Montreal in front of it, I don't care how many rabbis bless any given flavour, it's not relevant to authenticity.

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

Someday I will have to go to Montreal and try some bagels so I can know what you people are talking about.

I'm occasionally watching football when it occurs to me. I can't believe I'm rooting for the Broncos. What a world.

Speaking of fake bagels--although I will not venture out of bounds when it comes to varieties, I did just buy a bag of pre-sliced mini bagels. But they're a transport medium for the jams I bought in JA--my standard of guava jam, but I also picked up pineapple guava jam, and sorrel jam, and they looked like the most neutral (read: like hard dough bread) thing to taste test on.

So far I've just been stuffing my face with the one I already am familiar with.

Let me get off hiney, stat.

Or you could come visit me!

I was rather disappointed in my roommate, though--she ALSO decided to go to the bagel place (amusing, since we didn't discuss it, and I don't think either of us has been there in months), and she bought plain ones, but then lamented the lack of "sweet" bagels. I refrained from telling her to eat a muffin, but may have to later. (We went separately--I'd just gotten home when she rolled up with a bag of bagels!)

I'll make you dumplings, you can fed me bagels, it'll be a carbalicious holiday in Seattle! One of these days, meara, gotta make that happen.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have listed something on eBay. I would like msbelle to praise me. And I am watching two other items to see if selling would be worth my time right now. No! Three other items.

Before the start of the work week in India, I have to set up a number of test situations for our offshore quality assurance guy. During the prepping today for our onshore performance testing guy, I came across some error messages that made me feel anxious about this project for the first time since it started. At midnight, one set of changes I need to test are being run. At 5AM, another set.

::sigh::

Don't wanna! But manager wants more realistic hours for projects? Okay, then, you can have my 10, 11 hour work days. Grump.

The builder (weird term) of reddit apparently killed himself.
