I can't imagine uncomfortable guests with Raquel as host. China will be lovely.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's Friday!!
I painted my fingernails blue last night and they are making me sillily happy. Also? warm weather today! We are supposed to get up to 77. WOO! to the HOO, I might add.
At least it's all ABCs. Green chile doesn't appeal to Greeks at all. Here's the menu so far:
Margaritas
Chips, salsa, guacamole
Tortilla rollups
Green Chile and Sour Cream Enchiladas
Big Pot of Chili (tm)
Watermelon, Tomato, and Feta salad
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
The salad's a Greek shout-out, and while the cheesecake doesn't scream New Mexican, the recipe's from Santacafe, so it counts. Now I need a side dish.

Hrrmph. And they say they invented civilization.
Lies Verizon DSL Support Has Told Me Today
- “Phone lines over 14 feet will, over time, fry your modem.”
- “Your phone lines are like a car. Every once in a while, they need service.”
- “We cannot send a service technician to your house.”
- “I’d be happy to help you today.”
- “It is impossible to speak to my supervisor. My supervisor is Verizon.”
- “This is the ‘North American’ office.”
- “There is not electricity going down your phone line, sir. It’s data. Electricity has nothing to do with it.”
Oh, yum. Too bad you can't borrow my Fiestaware, Raquel. I've got it all boxed up, but I don't think I can get it to Greece by Thursday.
Oh goodie.
A report in the medical journal Psychopathology notes that psychotic delusions increasingly concern the internet, suggesting high-technology can fulfil the role of malign 'magical' forces often experienced in psychosis.
Lies I Have Told Verizon DSL Support Today
- “I am an IEEE-certified electrical engineer.”
- “I would be happy to wait.”
- “I have completed all your tests as you requested, including rewiring my house.”
- “My secondary phase-coupling array shows a positive electricon flow across my end-to-end wiring.”
- “Have a nice day.”
- “I am sorry I used the term ‘totally assed in my face.’”
I love how both my link and Tom Scola's had a banner ad for Verizon.
Mmm... I want to go to Raquel's party. And using the china does not make it a fancy party -- just makes nice plates!
I woke up earlier than I had meant to, based on how late I stayed up, but apparently I was impersonating a mouse under the covers and my cat had to ATTACK!!
Today I will go for the long walk in the park I've been wanting to do all spring. Finally, nice weather!
