Chocolate chipotle cakes
I love spicy chocolate things. I don't know why it works so well, but it does. Lindt, for instance, makes a dark chocolate bar with chili mixed in, and Chuao, a San Diego local chocolatier, makes this thing called a Spicy Maya dark chocolate bar that has cinnamon, pasilla, and cayenne. (Also, there's a coffee shop on UCSD campus that makes Spicy Maya hot chocolate, and it is just as good as it sounds like it should be.)

The bar heist
So there I was with Mal Reynolds, Zoe Washburn, Bailey Weaver, and associated other crew, knocking over this cool outdoor bar. Our plan was to incite an altercation, bamboozle the police when they came, and then make off with the money and some other valuable stuff they had.

Peach syrup
Ralph's had California peaches on sale for 99 cents a pound the other day, so I bought some to make peach syrup with. I eat it on sourdough pancakes and it is amazing. Apparently you can also pour it in your smoothies, but I haven't tried this.

Last night's dream
I was on a mission to go to the elementary school and get some of the popcorn they use to feed their class hamsters. I noticed I was wearing a shirt with a personally-identifiable URL on it, and concluded I would have to wear it inside-out and burn the shirt after the mission was over. Then I saw Alex Trebek, who was picking up his kid from school, and Don Eisenbarth posted about it on Facebook.

Let me tell you a story
Stories are incredibly powerful. They are the means by which we humans give structure and meaning to the sequences of events we experience. Accordingly, everyone is continually telling stories to themselves, and to everyone around them. (For instance, a little bug just flew past my desk lamp. That was a story.) I think that the ability to tell stories is perhaps the most important human faculty; without it, I think we would be forced to conclude that life is essentially arbitrary and meaningless, and this is not a world I'd like to live in.

Dreams
So, I just remembered last night's dream (thanks to the Evernote note I wrote when I woke up from it).

What the crap is this sound?

Enchiladas!
I am trying to write up some homework and it is not going so well. A few hours ago, I decided to take a break and go to the store and get ingredients for enchiladas, because I had some of them already. Unfortunately, for no apparent reason, I didn't have a can opener, and I had to go next door and borrow one from my neighbors. The enchiladas still turned out delicious. I stole this recipe from my friend Jess who I think probably made it up.

Wednesday was ridiculous.
