I've seen those pictures before, Toddson. I want to think it's cool and romantic, but it's a horror movie set to me. I think it's the emptiness.
Though it would be a terrific episode of Supernatural.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Toddson, wow indeed! How cool that would have been, to dance there.
Petsitter emailed me finally, I have an unexpected credit with them that almost covers this trip. Cool. Doctor called me back, test results not particularly good but not deadly bad either. High cholesterol, pre-diabetic, high hematocrit. Can deal. Can probably fix, even, at this point. Should really learn to cook, for real. I don't even know what hematocrit is.

After a nice warm shower, I feel some better. Maybe tomorrow will go better.

A high hematocrit sounds like heaven to me. You have red blood cells! Many red blood cells! Okay, maybe too many red blood cells.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Theodosia.
I just made clam chowder from scratch for the first time today. It turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. I used this recipe: [link] However, I used half and half instead of full on cream and added some chopped carrots for color (so it's health food now, I guess).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
my brief Goth-before-Goths-were-cool period.
I had one of those, plus "how do you goth while black???". I do follow the "so goth I'm black" tumblr, and I see I have no imagination.
I was listed on the goth usenet Goth Sites info for a while. I mean, my website was.

We need a red blood cell exchange program. We could call it "transfusion". No, wait, that's something else.
Too many red blood cells means not enough oxygen, I think. Must breathe more. Ah, asthma.

Okay, this band's channel on Pandora is so far EXCELLENT. I love how many devices you can log in from as well.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Mmmm, Calli, that looks delicious. Except for the pork part. What's a good (or anyhow adequate) vegetarian-friendly (for very loose values of vegetarian, obviously, since we're talking about fish soup in the first place) substitute that'll add some nice salty smoky density to it without any actual pig?
Hec has already worked out that for any food involving a cream sauce, shredded smoked gouda does the trick. Maybe it'd do for this as well, since it's a creamy chowder?
