Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Lily is too cute!

Yay, for the good Aidan news!

I need a brownie now. I think I'll have to settle for hot chocolate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am PMSing so bad. I just mixed up some cake mix just so I could eat the batter.

meara: to jump back a ways - there are good reasons to go digital, but worrying about x-ray machines isn't one of them. They've fixed 'em so they don't muck up your film. I have travelled with lots of film and they've all been fine. (well in Europe anyway).

In American airports, developed film will survive carry-on scanners, but the checked luggage x-rays will destroy it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

From what I've read, film should be safe in a carry-on on domestic flights, but not in luggage anywhere, or in a carry-on for international flights. What I usually do is carry my film in a lead pouch (I think I bought mine at a camping supply store) in my carryon, and ask to have it hand-inspected if I'm going on an international flight.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Nicole's disposable cameras from this weekend in Cleveland were damaged by the x-ray machines at the airport. (I don't know if it was carryon or checked luggage, though.)

You know what would be a great idea for a hotel? If you could request the kind of sheets you wanted. Like, 300-count percale, t-shirt material (my current favorite), flannel (great for winter), or satin (great for man-hos).

I think the Ritz-Carlton offers this. (I know you can request specific pillows, anyway, at least at some locations.)

I'm getting the pig!

They were in the checked luggage. I wish I'd known that the carry-on x-rays were much less dangerous. Damn.

Lily is beautiful, Plei!

I'm so exhausted. I tried to catch up on sleep last night and instead woke up (an hour after I'd finally fallen asleep) freaked out from the worst nightmare I've ever had. It took about three hours for me to fall asleep again.

This from the girl that LOVES horror movies and ghost stories. Odd.
