Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I've made (fairly plain) Mac and Cheese - I'd cook the macaroni, make a white sauce using whole milk, add a LOT of cheddar, some salt, a little white pepper and a spoon of mustard - I had a jar of tarragon mustard that worked well, but a Dijon or spicy mustard works well. I've heard of adding ham to Mac and Cheese, but not peas. I'm opposed to tuna casserole, because I always think of tuna being something you eat cold (as in tuna salad). I like peas, generally ... once came across a recipe for spring peas just barely cooked and ... I'm thinking tomatoes and mustard? can't remember. I'm picky about a number of things ... I've developed an aversion to most meat. And I can't eat lobster (you're welcome to my share).

Ann, that's a ferret.

One of my go-to meals in college was mac & cheese with a can of meat (I preferred chicken over tuna, and Spam works surprisingly well) and a small can of peas or corn. Very yum and very filling and not very expensive.

Allie Brosh from Hyperbole and a Half has a new book! Yay!

Yay! I've been sort of worried about her.

This conversation has me wanting scalloped potatoes and ham.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Whyyyyy is my body betraying me? I slept from about 11:30 to 1, and then was awake until around 4.

I am so happy that there are Vegan mac and cheese dishes available. That is a big comfort food for me.

Bodies are not considerate at all, Dana. I'm sorry.

Since I feel like I often complain about how awful getting out of bed every day can be, I should report that this week has been an easier one for me on those terms. Not that I have been springing out of bed with a song in my heart ready to attack the day, but it has been less a matter of dragging myself through a swamp of despair to get myself to be able to start working, and that should be acknowledged.

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

Mac did not have a fever yesterday and feels all good, so he did not go get tested. He assured me he would keep checking temp and I got an unprompted "love you", so I'll just be up here in the clouds.

Aw, I'm glad Mac's feeling better.
