We go hardcore here and eat Oat Bran. With pecans, blueberries and maple syrup.
My oatmeal gets blueberries, unsweetened applesauce, and either a scoop of protein powder or a teaspoon of peanut butter. Also makes a damn fine dinner.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I've told you about the woman who expressed her disappointment and dissatisfaction with her husband by packing him a cold grits sandwich, unseasoned, on white bread, right? You pack the leftover grits in a glass loaf dish and refrigerate it, then the next morning you slice the grits and fry them and serve the slices with eggs. Or in a pique, you slice off a slice of grits, slap it between two slices of Wonder bread and pack it like lunch. No news on the reception and whether he mended his ways.

A cold grits sandwich seems like a metaphor for something

I will take your rolled oats and your raisins. And your grits, assuming adequate cheese is involved.

Isn't that polenta?

There is, as far as I can tell, no difference whatsoever between grits and polenta except what you call them. Either the porridge style preparation or the chilled and fried version are common to both.

You know I am not one to use potty language, but my son just posted a meme that cracked me up.
I'm thrilled to have my taxes go toward anyone's education because the fewer stupid motherfuckers the better.
I know it is a complex situation, and that student debt forgiveness doesn't fix the underlying issues, but I still think the above is a valid argument.

Happy birthday, lisah!
In other news, my manager wants to put me up for promotion and I need to select some reviewers within the next couple of hours. Since this now is the very last thing I want to do because brain weasels, I need to figure out how to bribe myself into doing this ONE TASK.

Happy birthday, lisah!
My vacation starts next Friday, and it is long overdue. I'm forgetting things and getting sloppy at work, and since at least 50% of my work is QA these days, that's very much Not Good. I'm hoping a week and change off will help that.
I rather like raisins in a number of things. I just don't like biting into something where I'm expecting chocolate chips and getting raisins instead. That's not so much anti-raisin as it is pro-chocolate.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yay! (Right? Yay?)
