Simpsons really nailed OC tonight, all the way down to the slo-mo montage with the indie-rock soundtrack.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

There was a line in Grey's Anatomy that reminded me of Kat.
Hmm... too bad I'll miss it because it's on too late and I will have to wait until tomorrow. I'll have to remind you to tell me what the line is, Sue, after that.

Whirlwind day. Saw brother before he leaves on weeklong trip, ran a few errands, dropped by work, made plans to see friend's m-i-l and help her with something, got a call 15 min. later from said m-i-l informing me that best friend's grandfather had just passed away, went to be with best friend, spent next 4 hours with the family.
Today was the granparents' 68th anniversary and he passed away napping before lunch. Not unexpected. He had alzheimers and recently had the home health care person move away which lead to a fast decline. He was a funny and loving man who lived a long and good life. He loved his family and they loved him back.

msbelle, I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. Tell Bro if he wants specific info or directions about LYS to call me.

Not mine Kat, my best friend's. but thanks.
He got info on some LYSes near where he is gonna be staying (which I don't know where that is). I think he knows how to get in touch with you should he need to.

So sorry to hear about your friend's grandfather, msbelle.

Man, my reading comprehension is low low low. Sorry. I'm a little burnt out right now.

Gray's anatomy is making me happy. Very very happy.

Had to make a late evening trip to the QFC for diapers etc. During the 15 minute visit I discovered:
- They've pulled all the pseudoephedrine-containing products off the shelves, except Claritin-D. Why you can still get Claritin-D but not any of the Sudafed drug cocktails that have 3, 4, or 5 active ingredients?
- A Tina Turner cover of "I Want To Know What Love Is," except that it wasn't by Tina Turner; Allmusic lists some 125 recorded versions (all of which are bad... except for the Foreigner version, which is meh) but none by Tina. A little research eventually got me the answer -- Shirley Bassey! Shirley Bassey playing on a grocery store muzak system? Huh.
- A cover of Ani DiFranco's "32 Flavors" by what I thought was Jessica-Hillary-Brittney-Ashlee (they all run together for me)... only, again, it wasn't. It was by Alana Davis and came out in 1997. Huh. Apparently, I have a fairly large musical blind spot during my England year.
- They must take half the diapers off the shelf after 8pm just to confuse the sleep-addled parent into buying the super-expensive ones.
- Oh, and this odd food product. 43%? What's the other 57%? Isn't there a law against this?
I'm still a bit peeved that Kroger rearranged everything three years ago when they finally made it a "Kroger QFC" and not "Art's Family Center with a QFC sign." I'm still going to the old aisles and not finding what I need. Art's was so local back in the day. Kroger has done its best to wring the localness out of QFC.
