Drabble & kibble
Those of you who might be interested have probably already seen this, but yesterday I committed iambic pentameter in SGA based on a post and comments at sheafrotherdon's. I suppose it's only fair, after doing the epic House adventure. It is called Rodneyo and Johniet: A Prologue, PG, 100 words, warning for meta and showrunner-bashing. It's at Cate's (beware "Vegas" spoilers up top) and on my website.

My sister and her friend and Ryan came to town last night and left this afternoon; Ryan had a gig and some kind of radio promotions to do. The show was nice-acoustic solo, instead of eardrum-blasting rock-out, although I do like his new(ish) backing band, and it didn't end too long after my bedtime. HI THAT'S RIGHT I AM STILL 50 YEARS OLD INSIDE.* Anyway, it was nice to see her for more than 45 minutes this time. I gave her Goodnight Bush, and she brought up my mail (thank you for the holiday cards, Caro and Catherine!) and some snacks, and, long story short, we watched the inauguration rerun.
* No negative implications intended toward people here of that age group. It is just that I have been accused before.

This is how I ate Mallomars when I was a kid:
- Knock the top of the cookie on the table to crack the chocolate coating
- Pick off pieces of the coating and eat them (this can be done with teeth and tongue or with fingers)
- Nibble around the bottom to get the rest
- Peel the (sticky, chewed-on) marshmallow off the soft cookie base
- Eat the cookie
- Chuck the marshmallow
I don't tend to eat Mallomars these days, because I don't like marshmallows. But my dad sent up a box, so I gave the old method a go. Still works.
They made me want milk, but I don't know if the remaining bit of milk in the fridge is drinkable, and I didn't want to check. It is like Shrödinger's milk: So long as I leave it in there unopened, it is neither okay nor sour.
.
My dad used to tease me for having eaten raisins in multiple bites when I was little. Shh-I still do that, sometimes. Grapes too. They last longer and can be better appreciated that way. They are sensual on the lips, grapes. And blueberries. Come on, how else does one discover that blueberries are green on the inside?

Haven't watched House yet. Maybe I'll go do that now. Before the rest of the House fans defriend this journal.
