We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

What is even happening?

I expect it will warm up enough to melt by the end of church -- it will around here, anyway -- if I went to church, but I'll be going to yoga instead.
It's the going-to-church that has me more worried. The it's only (I think) a little more than a half mile away, but it's pretty much a half mile down hill. I live in just about the highest spot in town. The church is probably at the lowest spot, as it's right next to the lake.

Thanks for the no skidding thoughts, Theo and Nilly. I have to get a move on.

There won't be many people on the roads, so you can creep the car along if you must. I just checked, and the sidewalk in front of my house (and across the street) is entirely footprint-free, so at least my unscientific sample supports my hypothesis....

I guess, not a walking-distance in this weather, right?

I like this sentence, and not only because of the "try to say it three times fast" aspect.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There were no celebrities at the restaurant I ate at last night.

Cass, I am so sorry.

I woke up at 6 something, but wass till tired and went back to bed, getting up now was a much bigger struggle. I do not get it.

I have much to get done today, and really think that I am gonna have to skip church to make it all happen. First up laundry.

getting up now was a much bigger struggle. I do not get it.

I have a theory, that when the body gets some of the sleeps it wants and needs, it gets all "oh, sp that was what I wanted! More! More!" and then it's even harder to get up after that.

I claim Theo's "unscientific sample supports my hypothesis" method of working with that theory, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Our dinner kinda loses the celeb smackdown, but I was out with another Whedonverse fan who...hadn't seen that far into Buffy. And another guy who's never even heard of Buffy.

So I guess it was only cool for me.

Hmm.

I have a headache this morning. It's absolutely impossible to tell if this is because of two plum wines or because I'm me. Ah, well. I have to live around these headaches a wee bit, or go insane.

Rhino Records, an indie LA store, is closing its doors.

oh. I'm sad about Rhino closing! That's awful.

The Memphis Outback didn't seem to be a celebrity dining destination of choice last night either. Though with the vigil at Elvis' grave this weekend and all, I'm sure Nicholas Cage is somewhere in town.

If there's anything you want me to look out for, Kat, I'll probably swing by their parking lot sale.

I have hopelessly non-indie music tastes, but I figure I'll go browse and say goodbye to a store I liked in principle, even if they no longer have a Golden Apple inhouse.
