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.

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.

GO CASS!

So about 4 minutes ago, there was a LOT of yelling in the 'hood. I'm guessing something happened with the Ravens game.

Ah, yes, they just tied it up in the 4th.

Marketed, shopped, cleaned, swam, cleaned more. Time for some quality radio show.

Yeah, Allyson had a thoughtful post about that. I will post over there, but let me take this moment to encourage people to take the suicide prevention first aid course that ASIST offers. It's intense, but realistic, practical training for people who want to be able to intervene. And it's best if it's in person, and I'm no expert, but I would just like to say that if anyone is ever contemplating suicide that I have been through the training and you should feel free to contact me. I don't have any magic answers but I'm not afraid to talk about it, so please don't hesitate.

I've also never seen "wheat" bagels, but I suppose it's not awful.

I've had whole wheat bagels and yes, they are. (And if "wheat" doesn't mean whole wheat...what are the other bagels made of?)
