Why did I think it was a good idea to drive to Whole Foods at rush hour, in the first rainstorm we've had in weeks, in order to buy yams for Thanksgiving? I suspect myself of sleep deprivation, or possibly excess giddiness from the fact that MY CHARACTERS ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING BESIDES ANGSTING AROUND TALKING.
Yeah, you heard me. They're having sex. Almost 500 words of it. IN SPACE!
(I feel like I should be wearing one of those Science: It Works, Bitches T-shirts except that's nonsensical because where's the science? Unless my invented nebula counts, but somehow I doubt it.)
Random food content:
While at Whole Foods I found a product that puzzled me: Kosher marshmallows labeled "SPECIAL RUN MADE WITH FISH GELATIN." I stood there with them for a minute, trying to figure out why fish gelatin? Why a "special run?" Not for Passover, because the the second ingredient was corn syrup. Finally I realized--these are the marshmallows you can have in hot cocoa if you keep Kosher, because fish can be eaten with milk. I just--didn't know "fish" came in marshmallow form.
(I actually think fish gelatin is marginally less gross than beef gelatin, because the latter comes from the meatpacking industry which is just--blargh. I just think the product could use a better name--something without the word "fish" in it, maybe?)
OMG I think this is the SCIENCE portion of this post. It works, Bitches! :)
