I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Yeah. Gus. With your food talk.

After all that pizza talk earlier, I want pizza.

Dang. I think I missed stuff that was there before Emliy's edit.

Here is my comeback: Cilantro, baby!

It is all about the cilantro.

Before I edited, it said, "Yeah. Gus." I thought you deserved a little explanation.

DX, you'll be proud of me. Or something. After a day spent driving endlessly, I found no halogen torchiers. So when my final stop was Home Despot, I broke down and bought a replacement dimmer.

Wish me good cursing, cause I think I'm going to need it. I have no idea HOW I'm going to get to the old switch, but damnit, I'm going to try.

And if that fails, I'll resort to the internet. I am reluctant to because a) wait and b) delivery issues.

Also, I need tor drive way the hell up Falls & Greenspring Valley Roads more often. It's a fun, leisurely drive through farms.

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

sara, is the switch in the main tube of the torchier, or is it somewhere else?

Anyway, good luck.

Em: Ah!

DX and sarameg: Nine people in the US have any idea what this torchiere business is about, and six of them are watching PBS.

Thanks to a mix-up yesterday that saw me getting a 15" veggie pizza for the price of the personal one I ordered for lunch, I've now had pizza for the last three meals. I think I'm heading out for a dough-free steak tonight.

Aaand, it's a no go. It's in the tube, which is the problem. There's a closed collar that I can't detatch to get at the damned switch. Which I suspected was going to be a problem, but I hadn't tried that hard to get it out. And now I have, and I can't.

Fuck.
