I kinda dig a good Carl's Jr burger. And even thought it's not made of anything particularly dairy, a McDonald's chocolate shake on a hot day really hits the spot in the way real milkshakes don't for me--not that I don't love them.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't had a good shake in donkey's years. Now I'm filled with the crave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I really want to go to the Shake Shack. But I'm not going to, because it's still lunch time there, so long lines, and what I really need to do with my free afternoon is go to the stupid post office. I hate going to the stupid post office!

Jesse, I have a package to send. Can you please swing by and take it to the post office since you are already going?

Emmett and I go to Foster's Freeze fairly often. They have great shakes, though I think he likes Burgermeister better.
I'll take BK over McD if those are my choices, but In-n-Out reigns.
I can also go over to the Ferry Building and get In-n-Out quality fresh burgers at Taylor's Refresher, and on Farmer's Market days I can get a Prather Meat grilled burger that's insanely tasty (and healthy, since their meat is pure of all hormones and antibiotics).

So nobody else has heard of Arctic Circle? They could be local.
There's a wildfire up in the mountains a couple of miles away from us. The tanker planes keep going by over head. At least the wind is keeping the smoke away from our building. If the smoke starts seeping in, I'm going home.
That's the downside of working close to the mountains, in the summer, something's always burning.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Who are these people? I keep getting call form 'credit/customer service' about my 'credit card' , which there is nothing wrong with - but I am eligible for lower rates - press 1 to talk to someone... Right, like I will talk to the mysterious and vague people

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I really wanted something utterly disgusting for me in college, I'd drive across town to the lone Arby's and get a beef 'n cheddar with a jamocha shake.
I also loved the beef 'n' cheddar. With potato cakes and a chocolate shake. And a turnover, though apple or cherry would depend on my mood.

I don't know what is wrong with my nerves today. The planes going by overhead all the time are driving me nuts.
