On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Crap, I was gonna ride my bike to work today, but decided not to. That means my lunch options are sadly limited.

IORelatedN, my bosses are going to sell their building. Which means we'll be moving... somewhere. Hopefully back to downtown Evanston, the place of many fine lunch options.

Mmm, Italian Beef. I still haven't found a good beef place up here, but at least with going to school, I'm just down the road from Johnnie's in Elmwood Park, the best beef in Chicago.

But now I'm thinking that I could stop by Pita Inn on the way home for some chicken schwarma, hummus, and fresh pita bread. Oh, and some baklava, too.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sorry, Dana!

(I'm having empanadas for lunch.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, who wants to write up my meeting notes? ...she asked, hopefully.

I will! But in the middle of the notes, I'll add references to zombies and Godzilla, just to see if people are paying attention.

OK, what should I have for lunch, assuming I limit myself to a grocery store. (We have a microwave.)

That would be so awesome.

I had tater tots for lunch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, man, I could go to the faux-Mexican place that has tater tots. They might even have empanadas. Or "empanadas."

Ooh. I bet the grocery store has frozen, microwavable tater tots....
