There's this quote from a poem by Neil Gaiman that I can't get out of my head. I know there's a story about Rodney in it somewhere, about Rodney and Jeannie and maybe John too, and the difference between how Rodney sees them and who they really are, but I just can't pull it out of my head. So here's the quote, just in case anyone else can yank that story out of its hiding place.
Do not be jealous of your sister.
Know that diamonds and roses
are as uncomfortable when they tumble from
one's lips as toads and frogs:
colder, too, and sharper, and they cut.
- Neil Gaiman, Instructions

And, for no apparent reason, I really want to bake a cheesecake right now, and I want to make it a green tea cheesecake. If it works, and it tastes good, maybe I'll come over to your house and bring you some!
