I can't even.

You've obviously never sat in the bleachers at Fenway.

Nope, but I was describing the SkyDome/Rogers Centre experience and I have seen both multiple times there.

"it's your tiny ineffectual fists....and you're bossy..."

I'm going to sleep now on my new beech sheets and having happy dreams.

Are the happy dreams related to the tiny fists and the bossiness? Or just Patrick Dempsey?

Hello ITA! I'm not afraid of the asscaps.

Did we know that April 10-16 is National Library Week? So Google tells me. In honor of it, I shall pay my fine and go pick up the two books I have on hold. OK, I was going to do that tomorrow anyway, but now I can wish my librarians Happy National Library Week.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kat is very brave.

I have too many boxes, but I am completely out of tape, so I have to go to Ralph's tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

No. I think all caps is fine and all lower case is fine. It's just wrong for us capitalize the first letter of her name.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Would she be pissed if we lowercased her first letter in asscaps? Like, hey iTA!

In honor of National Library Week, I have lost the library book I was reading in the bathtub (hah, parse that! You know, I didn't lose it in the bathtub, I was reading it in the bathtub and have subsequently lost it.) I can't go to sleep until I find it, because, obsessing.

I don't know. But we'll find out Liese and you can take the hit.

I'm liking Grey's Anatomy.

I am too, and Sandra Oh rocks, but I find the transplant/harvesting stuff oooky.

Yes. Ooky. So ooky.

I'm also amused that the guy from Dead Like Me is on the show as a bike guy. He's still cute.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Indiana Man Wins 'Village Idiot' Award

STORY, Ind. (AP) - Mark Carmichael's blunders won him the good-natured award that's been handed out for years in the tiny Brown County town of Story. The winner is whoever gets the most votes from regulars at the Story Inn's saloon.

Carmichael, the inn's maintenance man, won in part for an incident in which he cut through a live wire while using a circular saw to replace the inn's galvanized steel roof. But he also damaged his just-purchased 1998 Dodge truck - the day after he got it - by getting it stuck atop a whiskey barrel planter outside the inn.

His foolishness earned the 27-year-old a $100 bar tab at the Story Still.

Rick Hofstetter, who owns the inn about 40 miles south of Indianapolis, said the competition for this year's award was fierce.

For example, two Story Inn regulars were nominated for knocking themselves unconscious while opening their car doors. Another was nominated for burning down his front porch after not fully extinguishing a cigarette in a full ashtray.

But it was Carmichael who came out on top. The bar's patrons had more than enough evidence to give him the honor - not least of which was the pig roast incident.

"I cooked a couple of hogs out there on some bed springs once," he explained to a dismayed visitor.

Carmichael had cut the carcasses in half with a chain saw, then used a pitchfork to turn the meat as it cooked. He ended up serving up the portions with a hatchet.

"People loved it," he said. "We called it Louisiana style."
