Where would I be likely to find adhesive-faced magnetic sheets by the foot in person? (I've found a couple of places online, but I'd rather not pay for shipping if I can avoid it.)

Would a hardware store stock that sort of thing? Or a crafts store, maybe?

Sweet tea is just right and necessary in heat & humidity and no wind.

Nod nod nod.

Jessica, maybe a crafts store. If you're ever around the greater Union Square area, I'd try the art/craft/card/etc store between 18th and 19th, between 5th and 6th. I don't think they really have a name other than like Paper Something Something. They generally have any crazy thing I need. (Ex: the other day I got wired ribbon, blue permanent markers, and popsicle sticks.)

There's more than a few in that area, since it's the paper district.

ETA: and home depot is on 23d.

hmmph... I saw two movies this weekend which is way unusual. both were good ( ok, howl's was excellent) . But all I am reading in the paper is that the movie business is doing terrible. so prices may continue to rise. Are they on crack???!?!! ask me why I don't do what i did this weekend more often? because 10 bucks a movie is way too much for a movie that might be ok. I can get that on my tv. or from a movie rental place for ( being generous here) about a quarter of the price. cheaper still if I go to the library. If movies were 5 bucks - I'd go much more often. even if they were 7. which would also mean more consession money- because I 'd be buying hot dogs for dinner - ( we tend to go to the movies durring the week). of course, I think if the 25 screen multiplex did one non-blockbuster movie in one theater they might get a little more money in them too...

Staples has 8.5x11 magnetic sheets (usually in the same eisle as all the avery labels/nametag thingies), and so does my local stationary store.

I have dinnered, cooked/prepared lunch for tomorrow. I feel like I need to prepack my bag, but really that is just dumb. I should try to get to bed early though.

Well, that jerk pork was too jerky. Still, terribly tender, so I know for next time what worked and what didn't.

Mmm. Pork.

Mmm. Jerk.

And lo! TiVo thinks I need to watch After The Thin Man. Then I'll finish my work.

Mmmmm....Nick and Nora....

Yeah, but that one place has more general crafts stuff than the other places, I've found.

Oh, but the real reason I even came to post was that I'm all bummed that the person I wanted to win the Food Network host show got kicked off! Bah.

Heh. Beth that's the same logic behind transit around the Bay Area. "Hmmm, ridership is down ergo we should raise prices." Which they are surprised to find drives ridership down further. "No one could have anticipated this!"

Unfortunatley we're in a crunch here since gas prices (thanks to evil collusion) are at their highest in Northern California and they also want to raise bridge tolls to finance the new bridge. You're pretty well fucked for choices.
