Anyway, I finally did mail something to ita and the damn Post Office lost it. So no worries.

Ditto me and a package to perkins. Silly Post office.

I really liked Portland, FWIW. It's gorgeous, I like the people. The yummy cajun place beneath the bridge? Also yummy. It also has my favorite hotel ever: Kennedy School. My brother lived there for a while.

Yeah, sadly I was only really planning to lend my PADI book and cd to someone I trusted. Not throw it to the wind. It's exceedingly grouchy making.

I am quite pleased with my decision and am looking forward to being up there. And you guys have an open invite to visit. I don't have a place yet but it will have a guest room. And a fireplace but that might not be as big of a lure as an actual place to sleep comfortably.

That hotel looks cool. Maybe I'll just move there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally went to the Kennedy School for first through 8th grade. The school I went to for kindergarten is condos now.

How old is he, anyway?

25, per IMDB.

OK, here's why I love the internet. At this bar tongiht, I heard a mashup of Jay-Z's 99 Problems with 99 Luftballons, and just downloaded it from here: [link]

The Kennedy School is my favoritest hotel EVAH. And they have the best french toast I have ever tasted. Literally. Mouthwatering.

Do they tend to have less slack that can be adjusted with the laces than boots that don't zip?

I've not tried any boots that zip AND have laces, so I'm not sure. I'm willing to lose the 10 minutes or so it takes to lace up knee-high boots.

These, I noted, also have elastic dart thingies. Less rigid than some of my others.

Oh, that's clever.

You know what there should be? Where I can find it? A fashion terms site, with both illustrations and photographs.

Yes, and in a perfect world, it would be manditory reading for every person who sells clothing on eBay.

Oh, with amaretto? Those look delicious. Might have to go there for breakfast once I am back up there. I have a file of places to eat...

Oh, Pavarotti was in excellent voice. Any other opera geeks around to tell me if they transposed that final high note down?

'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"

Sorry, not watching opening ceremonies or anything here. It was SciFi Friday all the way, which meant we scraped one friend off the ceiling after a particular thing happened on BSG.

Now I must be ridiculously busy this morning, because my best window for grocery-shopping commences in about 45 minutes. Because the Killer Blizzard From Hell!!!1! is scheduled for tomorrow. So I won't be able to go tomorrow morning as usual, and if I linger too long today, the grocery stores will be full of panic buyers....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think it's already too late for that. The media has been whipping people into a frenzy. I went shopping last night, and it was mobbed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

The media has been whipping people into a frenzy.

I don't remember the weather folk on the news doing this when I was younger. Is it a semi-recent phenomenon, or was I just oblivious as a child (which is entirely likely).
