I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

I am home and so excited that I am getting rid of a light fixture tomorrow that I do not even KNOW! I need to eat dinner, do a wee bit of paper work and maybe knit some. Can I do all that in 2 hours? Maybe.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I haven't watched SOTU since Clinton. And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!" That whole civic duty thing went out the window when I realized that shooting out the teevee is just so Elvis.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

hurumph. Not only is the East Coast a more issue-oriented coast, but they seem to be able to get their eyebrow waxing done for like, a third of the price.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The cheap personal services thing is one of the main benefits of living in the boroughs -- you get the nail-shop-on-every-corner thing AND the cheaper-than-Manhattan thing. Therefore, $6 eyebrow waxing. I'm seriously considering getting fake nails for when I start my job search.

And I used to be all, "It's important! I have a civic duty to watch even if I don't agree with the dude of the moment!" That whole civic duty thing went out the window when I realized that shooting out the teevee is just so Elvis.

You have a point.

Our wings are not tired.

I think this may be the year I actually don't watch the SOTU. Rock on.

I've skipped it since the first year I watched the Bush SOTU. I think I scared the kids with the yelling at the tv. It really is more than I can take.

Oh, me too, so much. But I haven't been able to make it through a single one of Dubya's -- I watched the beginnings of the first few, but never made it more than 20 minutes in before I had to either turn the TV off or hurt something.

I'm thinking about watching it with beer in hand and abuse at the ready.

Eh, I have beer in hand and unwatched stuff on the TiVo.

The seizure of the illegally produced cheese was one of the largest on record:

Authorities seized 600 pounds of "bathtub cheese" from a small ranch in southwest Riverside County last week.

The seizure of the illegally produced cheese was one of the largest on record in California, according to the Department of Food and Agriculture.

The cheese was seized last Saturday by a multiagency task force that included CDFA officers, Ontario police and Riverside and San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies. Also seized were wooden cheese presses, molds and other items used in production. Two men at the ranch were cited for illegal cheese production.

Officials refer to illegally produced cheese as "bathtub cheese" because of the often unsanitary conditions in which it is made.
