In other news, I just scheduled a meeting at 7:30am because time zones are cruel.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Cocoa going bad seems especially sad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry the cocoa powder betrayed you, Consuela. You have enough to deal with this week.

Seriously! Ugh, poor you.

My pork/chili hybrid is quite good! Not chili, but a delicious pork stew with beans and corn.

Cocoa powder betrayal? Huh, I totally wouldn't have thought that was likely! I would've also gone "meh, expirations are for things that mold"

Oh, no Consuela! I would not have thought cocoa powder would do you like that.

I don' t know what else it could have been, but I didn't eat anything else and started feeling bad only an hour after the hot chocolate. That said, I threw away the pie crust I was making, just in case it was contagious.

Ugh no, consuela. Bad cocoa seems like an affront.

There's a version of strep going around here that manifests in puking, so be careful.

I was going to say something about this on tumblr, but realized I'd rather say it here: [link] It's 100% true that you guys fill the role in my life that my mother's church plays in hers!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

That seems about right, Jesse. Interestingly enough from my viewpoint with all the cons now and the constant access to the "talent" that fandoms have they are more flash in the pan and flighty. Often more about the "talent" than the product. I cannot imagine that we would have formed as solidly if there had been twitter and tumblr.
