Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

hip deep in pie

Because of certain talk on this board, I had a big takeout scarf of Indian last night. The butter chicken was okay, but the beef Madras was really spicy. I think channa masala is my favourite Indian dish. And naan.

Steph, you would have loved the butter chicken because they filled that container with sauce.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am also having Indian food tonight because of Buffistas. And I am a hypochondriac who is beginning to think I have ADD, too. And man, was I inattentive in kindergarten and first grade, but somehow I snapped out of it and got good at school? But I feel like I am falling apart as a 40 something. Like, if I had kids or a relationship or anything, I could not do it. I just whirlwind cleaned my house for a rental inspection, and I somehow thought I would not be doing that any longer when I was a real grown up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Zen, there was something on Tumblr about language to use for a chronic illness to get doctors to take you seriously, and I believe the magic phrase was something like "It's affecting my ability to work/concentrate/enjoy my life/interact with my family", or whatever.

Yeah -- "The pain is affecting my ability to do my job" is usually what works for me, when I need it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I ate a normal amount at the 50th anniversary party cookout I was just at.... and then I could not stop shoving cookies in my piehole. WTF.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I ended up napping for an hour and then making cookies, while listening to my new favorite podcast: Science versus.... This episode was on Science versus Organic food, which was great. The premise is that this highly-cheerful Australian woman investigates the actual science behind various issues, like gun control, fracking, and organic food.

Turns out there isn't a ton of science supporting the individual health benefits of organic food. Which justifies me in my reluctance to spend $2.49 for a bunch of kale that costs under a dollar for the regular version.

And now I have a pile of peanut butter cookies, oh no.

Yeah, there are some things where I try to buy organic, but that's a lot more for the environmental impact than the health impact. And I really do need to do more research on that, too, because I know that I haven't read enough about it to actually justify the way I buy stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Watching S2 of Great British Bake-Off, and I am craving like a mofo for some shortbread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm already thinking about an elaborate Christmas dessert, so I don't just start randomly baking all the time. I had been thinking buche de Noel, but maybe there's something wackier from GBBO I should try.
