Got a free breadstick and free extra sauce. Software update did not kill iTunes. Will not be destroying universe today.
Interesting. I wonder if James Bond ever tried free breadsticks as a way of controlling evil overlords.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I so want to wear my Hampden Charm School shirt, but it's not warm enough.
Awww, too bad. OTOH, it is probably warmer than here. It is a toasty 43 out right now.....
I meant to get one for my SIL, but blanked out. I suspect I'll go over there in the next few weeks and get her one for her birthday in July.

I suspect the free breadstick is a tactic best reserved for evil overlords suffering from hangovers or on the Atkin's diet.

Someone over at Oscarwatch just posted this about meeting Jerry Orbach:
I had a chance to meet Jerry Orbach a number of years ago when I worked at an ad agency here in NY. I was speaking with the receptionist, named Juanita, on my floor, when this tall man in a trenchcoat swept in off the elevator. "Juanita, my sweetheart, how the hell are ya?" he called. That was Jerry - he was a fixture at agencies, having done a bunch of voiceovers.
We chatted briefly, and as he was leaving, Juanita whispered to me, "He's on LAW & ORDER, you know." I mentioned to her that he also did a lot of Broadway, and she was surprised to hear he was also the voice of Lumiere in BEAUTY & THE BEAST. Actually, she didn't believe me - until, from a few feet away at the elevator bank, we heard a voice softly start to sing, "Be...Our...Guest..." I thanked him, he bowed and saluted me, and he was gone.
What a great guy.

Sniffling now. I completely forgot he was Lumiere.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I had to image-Google Jerry Orbach, because the name was unfamiliar to me. My first reaction? "It's Dr. Houseman from Dirty Dancing!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yeah, when I told DH before he left for work, he pulled a blank on Jerry Orbach. He's never watched L&O, and he's not a B'way fan, either. But "Baby's dad in Dirty Dancing" and "Lumiere" told him exactly who it was. Man. He'll be missed.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We have no IKEA in my state.Silly New Englanders complaining... Drive, what, ten minutes and you're in a new one! It's freakish. My city is bigger than most of your states. Such cute wee states.
I don't believe IKEA exists.100 tealights for $4... It not only exists, it's a miracle. But I have to go at off hours. I loathe the crowds.
What a great guy.Truly.
I have errands to run. I am not running.

A lot of those New Englanders are in Boston, where if you drive ten minutes you end up in the afterlife.

Trump wants to tear it down and put a skyscraper in its place. He probably set it himself.
That would be my guess. I could do without the nasty smoke smell that filled my office and the approximately 800 news choppers flying around my building for a good portion of the morning though.
And this is only a few weeks after the 7/11 across the street went up in enough smoke to nearly get us evacuated and sent home - damn those efficient fire fighters.
