Random Lunchtime Thought

Raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts can look a lot like giant slugs. Fortunately, they're nowhere near as slimy.

Utter nonsense

From the MaggieFic Mary Sue Generator, as seen in Victoria P.'s LJ:

My Mary Sue Name: MahRee'soo de la Fleur (eww)

My Eye Color: Gold-flecked Jade (not all that far from reality, come to think)

My Signature Scent: Antique Lavender (better than house dust, yes?)

My Paranormal Power: Astral Projection (erm, haven't got the hang of that one yet)

My Specialized Skill: Stunt Driver (BWAHAHA... no)

My Distinguishing Mark: Sexy Foreign Accent (even though I've never left this North American continent, I do have a tendency to spout random, vaguely European accents)

And My Newly-Revealed Relationship to a Major Character: Qui-Gon's Counselor (I haven't seen a Star Wars film since the original was in theaters the first time, but this sounds good anyway)


Well, that was fun. Took my mind off the fact that this was another day spent making useless telephone calls. I think I need to get these people's home numbers so I can bother them before they're at work busily avoiding me.

Such a beautiful day for walking it is, and me with no decent walking shoes. ::sigh::

Time for more nonsense then. This bit's from my antiquated version of MegaHAL:


I have so much to lose.
compulsion makes you listen.

take your practiced powers and stretch them out
and snow-white turtle doves

i'd like to watch the sky
like a diamond in the night--it shows the shapes
of the world, a naked grubby thing,
and timeless lingering by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

and i am ready for the angels of avalon, where none grows old,
where ignorant armies clash by night.
