"It's like teaching someone the ABC's and then asking them to write poetry."

~Said by Navdeep Ojha, whose ID badge at Ohio State University labs says "Visiting Scientist."

Reminds me of my new summer job...is it really a bad sign if, on my first drive through order, I said the name of the wrong fast food place?

Navdeep, called Hobbes on various levels, is also keeping a secret for me that he claimed he'd tell me tomorrow, in hopes that I would forget, which of course I won't and I don't believe he really wishes me to. I'm sure I could have had it from him tonight if I'd really wanted it, but we've nothing else to do so I'll play at wanting him to tell me and he'll play at not wanting and by the time we've gotten around to having it out the secret will probably have changed to a completely different situation already.

Like someone humming a tune without the words, and you can't quite decide if you know the tune or not.
