Scola, were you the one that told me about the "eat Cheetos with chopsticks" trick? It's brilliant.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

My local bookstore doesn't have The Book in stock, and they're charging over $18 to order it, so I guess I'll give up and wait for Amazon. Sigh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
the "eat Cheetos with chopsticks" trick?
Yes, that's me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm still bookless but it's because I had to go to a wedding. Will remedy the situation this evening.
The only decision I have will be how many copies to buy for my friends.

Oh good. I've been crediting you with it for long I couldn't remember if that was accurate. Because really the Chopsticks for Cheetos campaign is a good one.
Cass, you are failing at spamming me.Liar. I am being all kinds of spammy.

Cheetos with chopsticks IS smart. Though I only have those 100 calorie packs, so it might be a lot of work fo rjust a few cheetos...hmm.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why are we eating Cheetos with chopsticks?
Also, why are we eating Cheetos?
I managed my errands (although I bought the wrong Bluetooth headset) and watched tennis. I reclined away most of a migraine and am now having phone anxiety.
Which is so not me.
Shortly before cancelling his krav membership one of the students asked me if I was seeing someone. Of course I said yes, and he was all oh-darn-it-shoulda-asked-earlier. As if I'd have been any less falsely spoken for then.
He's a nice guy. I like him and don't want to be mean or anything. I just don't know how to phrase my complete and utter reluctance to see anyone right. I don't know him well enough to want to talk about the headaches. So I've been continually forgetting to call him, and I feel like a shithead for it.
I know there are women who can recuse themselves gracefully. Never been one of those.
Meanwhile I'm giving advice to 17 year old girls on how to get a guy to stop dead in his linoleum-looking-at tracks. Except for her it's easy. She just needs to whip out a picture of Instructor B and call him her ad hoc big brother or even a crush. Because the only picture Instructor B allows us to show of him involves a fair amount of blood and no little amount of snarling.
I just wish I could use it myself.
