The bit where the pastry meets the fruit is the best bit for me. I dunno, the berry pies don't appeal to me much, other than the blueberries. Pumpkin pie I only really like the pastry with a sheen of pumpkin on. Kind of a waste. I should see what CI has to say on the topic.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
But pumpkin pie is KING.
Teppy is pumpkin's bitch.
If I could eat gluten, I would have already bought ALL of the pumpkin-flavored products TJs is carrying. And we would be bankrupt. Pumpkin is a harsh mistress.
But SO TASTY.

I love pumpkin pie, and sugar cream pie, but if you're talking fruit, blueberry is awesome. And rhubarb is up there too.
Tomorrow the Jay Z will not be an issue because I will have to get up and go work somewhere--today was a "work from hotel" day (where so far I've gotten very little done, thanks to this headache, but better today than tomorrow).

Pumpkin and blueberry are my favorite pies, with key lime running a distant third.
Grrr. I could have been working on artwork for a client for the last two days, but they didn't release specs before the long weekend and have now apparently piddled all of today away with inaction. So I'll have two days to do what should have been 4 days' worth of work, and the extremely short turnaround limits how much outside help I can bring in.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm at Panera, waiting for my seasonal pumpkin cookie. That counts for this conversation, right?
The interview that I wasn't psyched about went fine. I'm torn between "I could totally do this" and "they really need someone with an engineering background."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't always, but I like it.

You can let them decide about the second, and then decide if you want the job, no? I had the call with the fancy org today, too, and I don't know -- I feel so awkward doing the call from work, I can't tell how I did.

I somehow did not use enough apples in my pie/cake! So it is much more cake-ish. But still delicious! And I'll do better next time.
