You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Why do microwaves suck?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

You can only make things hotter; you can't cook things.

? I've cooked a lot of vegetables in the microwave. Steams 'em up nice.

I've cooked pasta and made an excellent mac and cheese in the microwave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hah! I totally watched that episode today I think. The dudes in Vancouver on Love it or list it too?

Yup!

I got over myself, which is good, and the apartment should be more or less ready to move into on Saturday.

My microwave rocks, whatever it does.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I use the microwave for veggies, oatmeal, "baked" eggs...

I make a mess in my microwave.

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

You can only make things hotter; you can't cook things.

But I want my microwave to make things hotter. If at the end of the hot session I have popcorn or cake or sweet potato taken from inedible to edible while semantically avoiding the word cook, it is of no concern to my tummy.

Scola, you will be happy to know that I have unmolded the cranberry sauce. I decided it needed more simmering.

All the bread is cubed and toasting (or drying out, I am unclear on the purpose of the oven at this point), so that went faster than expected.
