Ah, the painful beginnings of summer!
My bike's all prepped, so 2 weeks ago I made the 3/4 mile ride to Trader Joe's, filled both (large) bike bags to the bursting point, and successfully brought home around 80 pounds of groceries. Putting that much extra weight on a bike is... interesting. But the all-uphill trek home just wasn't that bad because I have a really, really low gear.
Today during lunch I dropped the Prius off for an oil change (yes, I am a Prius driver!), and biked the 2.5 miles home, which is mostly downhill.
And now I'm just sitting there thinking, "Aw, carp! At some point this afternoon I'm going to have to bike 2.5 miles UPHILL to get the car back!"
2.5 miles should be an easy WALK, much less bike ride, but there's always the post-winter-getting-in-shape period where such trivial endeavors end up being hard.
Bleah.

In my student days, my diet more or less consisted entirely of lentil curry and chickpea curry (12 tins for £1!).
I remember adding creamed coconut to the lentil curry worked well.

Just got a flyer in the mail: "The most trusted profession trusts Bernie."
I IM'ed NobodysWife: "I can understand why prostitutes would support him, but why would he want that on his flyers? And they could have gotten a better-looking model. This one looks all grumpy and has a stethoscope..."
She was nonplussed. "That's the world's oldest profession, dear..."

Hot peppers and tomatoes are planted, still need to sow seeds of corn and peas and plant the extra tomatoes and ambrosia (cantaloupe) melons.
All told I got 6 hot pepper plants, 10 tomato plants, 6 ambrosia melons, 2 seed packets and two bags of garden manure for less than twenty bucks. :-)
What varieties of tomatoes did you plant?

Pah. Fresh produce never killed anyone.

Hmph.
I, Freehold DM, hereby doubt the spiciness of your lentils.
I scoff in their general direction.

Au contraire, mon frère. Everyone rolls a 1 sooner or later.

That is patently false and outright dangerous misinformation, and it is absolutely vital that everyone be properly appraised of the true dangers. I'll let a trained master explain the dangers and how to counter them.

That depends what you do with the marrow...

Also I really want to work on a Worldbuilding project, but I just cannot spare the time, but my brain wants to do that and not the term paper.
It is a fun project. Typically I work with Fantasy Counterpart Culture America Circa Mid-20th Century, which is all well and good, but right now I'm working on Fantasy Counterpart Culture Germany Circa Mid-20th Century. Which means the 1940s, which logically means Fantasy Nazi Time. Except I decided that the Fantasy Nazis got the crap kicked out of them by the Not-German goverment without ever coming close to taking power, and the Republic held, if sometimes tenuously. It's actually really fun to work with a 1940s German culture that lacks fascism and genocide, but still gets cool stuff like stahlhelms, stielhandgranates, panzers with dashing commanders, and really smug not-Prussian officers with weird accents and riding crops they have no use for (who aren't evil, just dorks). And Berlin Cabernet culture is just perfect for my worldbuilding, LGBT elements and all. And Bavaria won't ever stop being fun.

So: second episode of Parks and Rec. Leslie, you need to apologize. Woman, you're proving, by being in that meeting, that your pride is stronger than your love for the children - you are there for no other reason than Leslie insulted you, and you're angry about it.
Jeez.
(Still a great show, though.)
^^I'm going to clarify that this is politics at its worst... but is common^^.
One of the reasons the 3/4E edition wars were so strong, was that is, more or less, exactly what WotC did, "We're going to make changes you might not like, but if you don't support them, Gould feel ashamed of yourself." Man; ... Parks and Rec manages to capture the origin of a decade of grar (and the reasons behind it) in a single episode! Well played...
EDIT: For clarity and making it look more readable.
