See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

All I required of Pacific Rim is that it have giant robots fighting giant monsters. The fact that it also featured Rob Kazinsky looking like this was just a bonus.

Because books.

Maria, make sure you leave the house sometimes. If you can take it, go to a Starbucks or a Panera and work for a while. The isolation is the one thing I hate about working from home again.

unless anyone can suggest where I'd find a microwave in public...

7-11?

In me-news, it is entirely time for wine, but I have to decide between white (because it's summer) and red (because I still have some truffles that go with a specific red wine - bought 'em back in June so probably they should be eaten up soon).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would have thought it goes without saying that salted caramel is fucking delicious, but I guess I thought wrong.

I like salted chocolate more than caramel. I'm just kinda meh on caramel, which is surprising because caramelization makes vegetables and roasts and what-have-you delicious, so you would think straight up caramel would be even more delicious, but not to me.

I don't really know what snickerdoodles are, though.

Snickerdoodles are awesome. Cinnamon sugar, and nicely chewy if they're made right.

I don't love caramel, either, but I do like salted chocolate. Even as a kid, I loved trail mix when the pretzel stick salt would rub off on the M&Ms.

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

Needless to say, the isolation is why I work at home.

I don't know if my boss knows what a critical path is, or how to efficient crash a project. On one hand, that should make me happy. On the other hand--oh, more work for me to make more work for me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Caramel and chocolate are my OTP. Like, Rolos? HEAVEN.

Salted caramel is pretty damn good, too. TJs has a chocolate bar that's dark chocolate and salted caramel (and maybe toasted coconut), and it's one of the only acceptable forms of dark chocolate I'll eat.

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

I was talking today with my student about Robin Thicke, and mentioned that I was surprised that he was roughly my age. She responded with "yeah, he's really old!" He is younger than I am by about 4 years
