The mousehousefire story was false

Hee. I saw it on CNN. I still enjoyed the story.

Oh dear, that was at Fort Sumner?

He's just freaking lucky he didn't set the adjoining land on fire. They haven't seen rain since September (some places longer.)

How Bees Fly, finally decoded!

(Short version: They flap their wings really hard. This took us how long to figure out?)

Now I'm hungry....

LORD OF THE RINGS - THE HOBBIT FEAST
DOWNTOWN, JAN 7, 10:30 AM
Peter Jackson, 2001-2003, 35mm, 12 hours, PG, $88

You’ve got to hand it to those hobbits, they sure know how to eat. As any self respecting fan can tell you, it takes a lot of fuel to drive the hobbit engine. That’s why they eat seven times a day. Exective chef John Bullington has created a seven meal feast, one for each of the different hobbit mealtimes (1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, etc.), spread out over the twelve hours it takes to watch the entire middle earth trilogy. Interpreted from actual meals referenced in the books, the Hobbit Feast is the ultimate Lord of the Rings sensory experience.

Awww, man, between the Hobbit Feast, VM marathon and the Bubblegum Movie, the Alamo totally wins The Coolest Theater In America Contest.

tommyrot, be careful with missing the steroid doses. They're usually drugs you have to taper off of, rather than just stop taking, so I'm thinking skipping a dose isn't good.

Timelies all!

Congrats to the flea family!

Hmmm, I just got an invitation to a baby shower for my friend who's due next month.(Yes, the one whose shower I was potentially supposed to host) Looks like her sister-in-law is throwing it at the end of the month...

The prescription notes should say what to do in case of a missed dose.

Okay--I called and bailed on PT. You can tell he pities me, because he doesn't give me any guff. Normally he's a gufferator.

Next up, leave work.

Kate Beckinsale is generic. I guess it's nice that there are generic Hollywood blondes and generic brunettes. It's like variety.

Tom probably already posted this story.
