Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Just image if someone spilled one in a major U.S. city.

Well, if Emily's story is to be believed, and there are those in the "so" called lib"e"ral "media" who would have us not believe the falseness of her story, it's already happening. Sounds very much like a "dry run" for a massive gulping, if you don't believe what they want you to not believe.

I'm not saying what I believe, I'm just saying that my shelter doesn't have room for any more dehydrated potato.

And then the week after that is Thanksgiving, and I'm not sure I want to explain to my mother why I'm suddenly painting my nails blue, especially when I have no explanation.

Sometimes you need to be blue. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

Which probably is why my family has learned not to ask me these kind of questions.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"Honey, why are your nails blue?"

"Well, see, when the sun shines through the air, little water particles split the light into the colors of the rainbow and the color you see is blue. Myself? I see a nice shade of mauve. Need help with the potatoes?"

Oh, just learn to love the Big Gulp.

Uhrgn. Very mild sinus issue. Except a major front is coming through, so minor congestion=PAIN and weepy eye. I hate teh weepy eye. Pretty sure most of my mascara is gone now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My hair is currently in "almost as short as ita's" mode. I have discovered that when my hair is this short and the windchill is 12 degrees F, I really should wear a hat.

Also, white stuff is still falling from the sky. One of the white things went into my ear. I hope I don't go deaf.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Word.

Although it does remind me of the Thanksgiving in high school or so when I broke my glasses that morning (broke the arm right off!) and a family friend having dinner with us asked me if that was a new style. Har.

I have ANOTHER class cancelled tonight for a "family emergency." WTF?? And I still have to hand in my homework.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Someone told me it's not possible to get burgers rare at a restaurant in California. Is that true?

ita, you can also get a rare burger at Mo's in San Francisco, where they very specifically list out the classic French degrees of doneness on the menu so you know what you're getting.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

They probably send to France for the cattle, though. Le Moo

We've got all kinds of snooty, organic beef to be had around here. Didn't I tell you about Prather Ranch? They raise cattle specifically for medical purposes - they use the collagen and cartilage and bone for various procedures. Consequently it has to be completely untainted by antibiotics, or steroids or anything like that.
