I should not be craving ginger-snap molasses ice cream at quarter past eleven when I'm nowhere near a Tosci's and thus able to go get some. (How does one identify an ice cream joint that operates near MIT? Look at its website and see that it has a periodic table of flavors. That includes a reference to the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.) (Their history includes "4.2 Billion BCE: First existence of ice".) Okay, enough divertedness.

Questions so general as to be completely unanswerable.

Sequels to things that oughtn't have generated sequels.

Not having the effort I put into something very difficult for me acknowledged.

The phrase "face it", especially when used in the context of claiming that A is obviously Q.

And feeling stuck in a place where I have no good options left.

It's very important when choosing ice cream to know when the first existence of ice was. Even if I don't quite think they're right, though if they're limiting themselves just to this planet I'll accept it.

Yeah, they were limiting themselves to this planet.

They have a terrific website.

You know, I read many of your journal entries in the morning and go seeble, seeble, seeble.

Among other things, ginger-snap molasses is one of my favorite flavors of ice cream. Had I known of your craving last night at 11:15 pm, I might've offered to drive down, pick some up and join you in eating it. It probably would've been more useful than anything else I accomplished yesterday.

erispope and I are pondering going down to stare at Old Ironsides this afternoon (which she's never done, and I haven't done since I was hip-high) and then going and hunting down ice cream afterwards. Care to join us? :} We'd probably be going to the one in Central, 'cause that's closest to Kevin's office.
