Last night I had birthday dinner at Wild Ginger, which is a wonderful Asian place in downtown Seattle. My parents came over and we had all kinds of wonderful food. I got a fairly nice candlestick from my parents, but hattifattener got me the really cool stuff. Not only did I get candied ginger and a burned import boot disk that would've allowed me to play Vib-Ribbon if it'd worked, but I am now the proud owner of a cookie press. elynne! Dude! We are making trilobites this weekend! *bounce*

So far this morning, I've found out several fun facts about the beloved (or reviled) Marshmallow Peep. I bought seeds for lemon catnip at PCC, where I also saw seeds for Echium (which is not listed as an aphrodisiac but clearly should be one).

I had a really fun conversation with hattifattener, who was kind enough to drive a dizzy clingy girl to work this morning. He said he'd been seeing a bunch of "Millions now living will never die!" bumper stickers, which I thought sounded like the Time Cube guy. He was pretty sure it was a Christian thing (and was right, though it appears to also be an album title), but couldn't remember the word for that thing that will supposedly make it so the millions don't die. I supplied "the Rapture" but then had to follow up: "You know, the Christian Singularity." Hilarity ensued.

For those not getting the jokes:

Echium looks suspiciously like "ecchi (http://www.derik.org/Gateway/novels/glossary1.htm#Ecchi)".

The Singularity is occasionally referred to disparagingly as the Nerd Rapture.

TRI LO BITE

*sniff* forgot to say a sweet tapir wrote you a little STORY for your BIRTHDAY (one in a SERIES)

But that's so personal and special to me, darling... I was embarrassed by the depth of my emotion.

or the nerve gas included caused you forget eveything that 's happened b/w us?

Wait, you can email nerve gas now? Oh, I know a few spammers who are not going to be happy. *toothy moray grin*

[marzipan-pig.livejournal.com]

you can only email the special kind, the kind that turns you into Sumerian myth or some such, in your fancy cyberpunk EEL GIRL world!

Trilobites! Trilobitten! Trilobaked! w0000000000000t!! Tell me when, and I'll be there with bells on. Quite potentially literally, given the number of bells in my bead collection. ;) I can also bring fun funky ingredient stuff, since I'm not financially challenged anymore. Yaaaaaaaay!! *bounce* *bounce* *bounce*

Christian Singularity - wooohahahahahaaha. :D I will not be able to get that idea out of my head now, I'll think of it every time I see one of those bumper stickers. Or the one that says something like "Warning - in case of Rapture, this car will be abandoned!" or something scary like that. I hate it when aliens Jesus abducts people right out of their moving vehicles...
