Et Tu, Crustulum?
A few days ago, I went to a Chinese buffet near my office for lunch. It’s not what I’d call great, but it is fairly good and filling. They have good peanut butter chicken, hot and sour soup, broccoli chicken, garlic and zhà cài (榨菜) green beans, chicken on a stick, and mashed potatoes.
Hey, don’t judge me. Good mashed potatoes are a thing of beauty and one should not look a gift potato in the eyes.
OK, that really took an odd turn.
. . . Where was I?
Oh, right. After I was done, the server brought a fortune cookie. I opened it and got what you see to the right.
Seems like even the cookie is judging me. :)

I’m working on an outline! Kind of. I mean, I’m writing down things, like, what’s going on in the world around the characters, and where the characters are in their own lives, etc. It should help me figure out where the conflicts are. :)

Hmm sounds like a not so subtle hint… ;)

Yeah, I’ve found that when the universe wants to be subtle, it generally ignores that impulse and just drops anvils. :)

Hey I’ve gotten that fortune before. Of course we are practically related and therefore similar right? You should write a book:)

You mean I’m not a unique and special snowflake, and other people have gotten that same fortune? Oh, cookie! I am betrayed! :)
