So, my original impulse was to have the news story be reporting on Frank’s run-in with dinner, but the timing of that just seemed wrong.  Like, I dunno, it just seemed to me that a group like the Hoch’ren Honnee would be able to keep news of a rampaging food monster within the halls of their compound under wraps, at least for more than one evening.  So the story turned into something unrelated, but with a vague detail that only an attentive reader would be able to connect to the other plot point… until I went and openly talked about it down here.  Whoops.

Well, if that wasn’t enough of a clue for you, I’m a bit frazzled right now.  I’m rally, REEEAAALLY trying to get all of Far Out There’s Christmas stuff done before December even starts this year… and it’s not leaving much brain power for anything else.  Case in point, I totally botched getting a new TWC Voting Incentive done last week, and I really don’t know if I can promise there’ll be a new one this week.  I mean, I’m obviously gonna TRY to get one done, but I tried last week too… and then I gave up and went to bed.  So I dunno, we’ll see.
