I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My mother has confirmed that a king cake is on its way to me in the mail.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

javachick, I emailed you about the thing you asked about a few weeks ago. I may or may not have mentioned in that email, that a decision is being made next month on whether or not to continue doing that, but if I know they are going to stop that policy, I'll let you know and you can upgrade.

My understanding of regular glow tape is that it works, but it needs to be "charged" with light in order to do so-- so if the glow tape is located in a spot that NEVER gets any light, it will not glow.

That's true. Usually we had an ASM go around and charge all the glow tape before a show.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

you might know it from Gallipoli.

Yes, that's exactly where i know it from. Thank you, that would have bugged me a long time.

I have a recipe for sourdough king cake that I will have to try some time, but not today. Today is bagels. Which are sitting on the kitchen counter, taunting me, as I try to decide how long to let them proof before boiling them

I think I'm going to finally hit the crepe truck near my office that I've heard so much about.

I'm contemplating making creme brulee using coconut milk, but I don't have little ceramic dishes, nor do I have even so much as a small blowtorch, which is probably a sad testament to how I've lived my life up to now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think I'm going to finally hit the crepe truck near my office that I've heard so much about.

Wouldn't it be more profitable to hit a bank? Or are you betting that the crêpe truck would be less heavily guarded?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I made a dentist appointment. That sounds much less exciting than what the rest of you were talking about... And now I wonder if it was a mistake, since I'm not desperate to go, and theoretically will have different insurance soon-ish, so maybe I should just wait? I was just so excited that my insurance included (preventive) dental!

I'm betting the crepe truck would be more likely to surrender.
