All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

researchers are finding hidden side effects of drug interactions by studying web searches.

That's really neat!

I told the annoying coworker I didn't want to have dinner with her and her friend (because omg if I heard her hack and cough one more time...apparently not because she's sick, but her sinuses drain??). Ugh. Instead I am getting crepes. Yum.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

What is this chocolate tea of which you speak? I'll bet the tea place around the corner just closed.

David's Tea. The ones I've tried so far are salted caramel, chocolate chili chai, chocolate orange, read my lips, love tea #7, and spiced carob. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM, I don't know what gave you that idea.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

David's Tea.

Hm. The green room here is surprisingly devoid of tea. I probably should keep some in my desk.

Air is bumpy, yo!

Ha! Yep. I've only been a passenger but yeah, feeling the bumps is actually comforting to me. Kind of like I'd rather be on a rickety wooden ladder than a mechanical lift because I can tell what is happening when the ladder sways.

If I had a bucket list, hang-gliding would be on it. I'd really like to experience flight without motor noise. Not sky-diving though. That's just falling and I try to avoid that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

My rule: Why jump out of a perfectly good plane?

Not a fan of turbulence, but I'm more comfortable with it than I was years ago. I do not like the sensation of the bottom dropping out of my stomach.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My rule: Why jump out of a perfectly good plane?

Because you're falling with style!

I only did skydiving once but it was thrilling.

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

I like planes of all shapes and sizes. Gotta get a ride in a B-17 one of these days.

Eta; Oh, and a blimp.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Was it here that people were talking about Ainsley from West Wing/chick who was on CSI Miami? Man, her face. Not good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I brewed the sencha but could not drink it. I will have to try that again when I feel better. White tea is more my current speed.

That's kind of cute

Pink. Stroller. You can't half it. You have to take all the twee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett came out of his bedroom after homework.

Me: "Did you crush your math homework?"
Emmett: "Conic sections are my bitch."

Now he's taking an ice bath to take care of his precious catcher's knees. He's got back to back games tomorrow and Friday. There's a Saturday morning game too but he's going to be taking the SATs.

Oooh, David's Tea has a Chicago location!
