hypercubical memo

Hilary picked up a cube of post-its and folded one of them to represent the dawning realization that she acutually kind of had a crush on um. m. It did not take a molecular biologist to realize that this was not a good time for a crush. Hilary, for example, had too many molecules. For some time now, friends and family had been overfeeding her. Or maybe it was the oversized clothes, which she was expanding to fit into like a goldfish. Now, I admit that Hilary's struggle with obesity is a bit of a straw man, designed to mask more complex concerns such as her intrinsic dislike of new people. But whatever. The important thing is that, at that moment, Hilary realized that the post its in contemplation belonged to Kim Lacey.

Update: Hypercubical memo is a googlewhack.

your use of the word intrinsic is notable.

noted, even.

you can make concentrated goldfish growth hormone.

It's all natural, just modified.

wait a minute, wait a minute.... wait!
you know they are hers? and remembered where you got them?
Where are my PJ bottoms?
Where is red coat?
Of all of the things these are the ones I miss the most.

Stop with the so many why nots and nows and be alive. For tomorrow may never come.

poke her in the eye for taking your post its. It is the only way she'll learn. Don't let her cries of pain deter your rightious wraith. (it'll be fun.)

Hahaha!! I thought of my cube of postits as soon as you said cube of postits! I knew they wouldn't last too long... :)

Kim Lacey said...

Hmmm...the poking-eye-thing might work... ;)
and yes, that's my blog

Wait, you took the _whole_ cube? Not just the yellow ones you been eyeing??

all the post-its are goldfish colored.

I fed my fish today. I'll spare you the details, but he was thrilled.

I showed him a picture of some hello kitty stationary. He flapped his gills while hovering in place. Fish usually communicate with stuff they excrete or secrete into the water. I'm not going to try to figure out what he thinks manually. I guess it might be possible to do it qualitatively.

I didn't actually show him the picture of hello kitty stationary. The fish communication stuff is real though.

I met some electric eel people in Chicago. Those things are wild and they taste good too.
