There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

I AM NOT THE SORT OF PERSON WHO CRAVES GREEN SMOOTHIES WHAT THE HELL.

Just pretend it was something whipped up in the lab by a mad scientist and you might get over that feeling.

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

Monster mash!

I've had to force myself into not eating breakfast at other times of the day, but I make four or five helpings of oatmeal at a time, and they're just there, and blueberries and nom...I pretty much always crave them. Luckily I found an allowed pancake recipe, because I was theoretically (but not practically, not at all) boring myself--it's been steel cut oats every morning since low gly which was...some months now. I should make a note.

Whether I tipped a cleaning person would involve whether I'm employing them directly (thus no employer is taking a cut of the money).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can they just cut to the chase and name the next one Republican?

I didn't get the Republican thing right away, but I did go straight to Top Gun.

Also, how AWESOME would a show where Tim Gunn comes in as a life coach and fixes things for people be? Then they could name the show "Top Gunn."

I know I've told the story about my Aunt & Uncle and their dogs named after Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, but I'm pretty sure I need a real life filter for people who do this to their children.

I believe I've mentioned that my ex was named Richard Dwight for the Republican ticket.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I knew I was one of the oldest people in my lab, but until today I didn't realize that a couple of my co-workers were born the year I graduated college. Feeling kind of old now...
