I think the type of chemo might affect how things taste, too. Mom was on cisplatin for her ovarian cancer, I believe. One of the platinum-based chemos, anyway. And she said that everything tasted metallic. I think Dad was on something different for his lymphoma, and things didn't taste metallic to him as much as the texture suddenly became much more of an issue.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

San Jose, as long as the flights aren't too inconvenient/expensive. Smaller, and closer to MV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So, I just heard the term "elephant walk" for the first time. Well, this definition, anyway. Is the hazing-related walk a real thing? Frequent enough to be cited as such? Or just an urban legend to trash talk frats?

What does "elephant walk" mean, in hip urban parlance?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only know it as the name of a Cambodian restaurant.

I had to google it
Just did. Am baffled at the things people get up to and find names for.
edit: Note to self. Don't click on ita's links, don't Google odd things she discovers. Clearly only ita is tough enough for the things in her head.

I wanted, just once, to not have a gross link on my CV. So, you know.
PEOPLE DO THAT?? REALLY???
And it came up in conversation on the internet. You know how that goes.
My sister says they're not going to do the full cancer-buster diet (soon in a bookstore near you--my sister's friend is writing a cancer-curing cookbook), just try and increase her vegetable intake, and cut down meat. Which I have no particular concern about. She's a grownup. As long as she's not relying on it, or stressing herself out, I'm at peace.
