Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ya really shook the pillars of heaven, didn't you, Emily?

This is from day before yesterday, but I wanted to point out that Addison Shepherd was also on the "Ch-ch-changes" episode of CSI, as "Mimosa", along with Maggie Walsh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's so stupid, but seeing people I now recognize on old shows is one of my favorite things about watching them. Like, Stephanie Romanov was Kellerman's ex on Homicide.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

The pop-up book of phobias is an evil, EVIL thing. The designers deliberately made it so that when you get to the page with the (giant!) spider, it unfolds so the legs (that are bigger than the book) unfold out of the center and brush your hands. I made a muffled shriek of terror and dropped the book.

'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"

When I was a wee Theo, I had a non-fiction coffee-table-size animal book from Time Life that had a huge full-page photograph of a caterpillar that I was so scared of that I refused to touch the paper on which it was printed.

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

Back from fun sledding where I cracked two snow disks with my fat ass. Much fun was had but my butt is very sore, and Emmett finished his last run with a crack on the head. Tomorrow we'll try a run with less moguls. I don't really need to catch air.

We got some fun pictures. We'll post them later.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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

craigslist pick-up scheduled for tomorrow. 4 ebay items packed up. dinner eaten.

I need to pack up one more box, and searcha round for one more item. I think I might have actually sold an item that I had already donated to a thrift store. D'OH! Oh well, if that's the case I'll just refund some money.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Know whats nice about the Italians? When they win they all start kissing each other. And kissing each other. And kissing eachother. I'm going to be writing mens cross country relay slash for the rest of my life.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Still no progress on my philosophy of education. Christ. "My philosophy is... when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye and asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Emily always says at a time like that: 'Have ya paid your dues, Emily?' 'Yessir, the check is in the mail.' That's my philosophy."

Ah yes, the Jack Burton/Big Trouble in Little China school of thought.

Finest kind.
