Good things

With the train crash yesterday and work going insane, here's a list of good things today.

1.  Mini muffin tops from Kellogg.  Not big enough for breakfast but just right for a snack; surprisingly tasty and bite sized.  (They taste sort of like wee little pancakes.)

2.  I received five books yesterday from pbs - the next two in the Dies the Fire (Edited: ! XD) series and the first book in the Nantucket series, Jericho Moon and a Dean Koontz book.

3.  I HAS MUFFINS (LITTLE ONES).

4.  Little fat birds that hop away from you and seem to forget that they can, you know, fly.

5.  Having another way into work - I know there's quite a number of folks who rely completely on the metro and bus system.  Being able to have a choice in how I get to work made a whole difference in how my day went today.  I love my car.

This actually is just a snippet from a slightly longer piece I'm working on - trying to get Kirk's voice right for the longer bits...

"So you're all wondering why I called this meeting, blah blah blah," Kirk intoned, throwing his feet up on the table.

"Oh no, never crossed my mind," Bones responded immediately.  "Between checking to make sure all the repairs to the medical bay were completed, checking to make sure that we had all of our supplies restocked, checking to make sure that weird hobgoblin alien hadn't swiped more of my spray-on-bandages-"

"Hey, now!"  Scotty protested from across the table but Bones just glared at him.

"He's got a problem, likes sticky things.  You might want to keep an eye on that."  He turned back to Kirk.  "But, no.  In between the eighty other billion things I had to do today, I didn't once stop to think why you were calling this meeting of "senior staff".  I figured with your mouth, we'd know soon enough."

Kirk gave Spock a woe begone look.  "Do you see what I have to put up with?"

"Fascinating, Captain."

"My own crew gives me lip and he thinks it's fascinating.  Right, does anyone else have anything smart they'd like to say?  Put your hand down, Sulu."
