GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

WTF? They put it on hiatus for months, plan to show it on Wednesday a couple times and then move it to Monday for the finale? That makes absolutely no sense.

ION, can my local postal workers be any more clueless? I live in a duplex of sorts. The upstairs and downstairs are separate apartments with separate entrances. I live in the downstairs. After getting tired of the post office putting packages for me on the front porch, I put a label on my mailbox that said "Enter Downstairs, Lower Level" In response, they started putting my packages on the raised side porch that clearly goes to the upstairs apartment. So, I put another label that said "East side of house". This had absolutely no effect. I'm at a loss as to what to do next. I'm tempted to put another label that says "East=towards the lake" but I doubt it will help.

Occasionally I'll get a postal worker who can read and figure out cardinal directions, but they inevitably get transferred to a new route quickly. The only time I've had my stuff consistantly delivered to my door is when there was no one living upstairs and I printed up signs that said "Apartment A" and "Apartment B" on them, with directions to my door on the "A" sign. But then someone moved in upstairs and took down my signs. I've asked the landlord a couple times if he could put some form of permanent labeling on the doors, but he's been reluctant.

Though at least the side porch is kind of hidden and is better than when they wedge my package into or under the mailbox where it's clearly visible from the road. When they do that, I can sometimes tell I have a package from a block away.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

. And then I started making scones with crystallized ginger in them.

That reminds me, last week I tried dark chocolate with crystallized ginger in it. Sooooo good! Ginger can overpower some foods, but the dark chocolate held its own.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to put a bandage on my finger. Do I want bacon, pirates, sushi, or devil ducks?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Bacon. Duh.

Unless it'll make you try and eat your finger.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Lately I'm all about the savory, and thanks to all y'all I am now jonesing bad for a cheddar cheese scone. Which the campus fancy-pastry place stopped selling a few months ago. Mournful now.

Pretty sure that won't happen.

Bacon it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When I was in New Zealand, I got what seemed to be a perfectly innocent scone, which turned out to have bits of ham in it.

Given my own re-watch habits -- I will tape Alias and watch 24 live.

*sigh* Sadly, not an option for me at the moment. I could probably get my brother to tape it for me (ALIAS - he doesn't watch 24), but I'd rather see ALIAS live. Plus, much as I enjoy 24, I'm currently much more invested in ALIAS, despite ABC's best(? worst?) efforts, since I've been watching the prior seasons (Yay! I'm almost up to the point in Season 4 where I started watching live!).

Frank, we could probably tape one or the other for you. We don't watch either, but it's easy enough to program the VCR and give you the tape the next morning on the train.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Mmmm....bacon.

Back from court this morning. A few observations:

1. The chick who stole my shit (aka: Thief) was there. She's on a home release program and is wearing an ankle monitor.

2. The State's Attorney offered her a deal of 40 months in jail. She didn't take it. And, indeed looked like she was thinking, "Like hell I'm going to jail." To which I was thinking, "Listen, bitch. You stole my shit. You're so going to jail." So, we're going to trial.

3. The judge was much nicer than the judges on tv.

4. The detective gave me a Sam's card with all my info on it and her picture so that I could cancel the account. I'm on hold with them now.

5. It's FREAKY seeing a driver's license with all your information on it and someone else's picture. Much cognitive dissonance.

6. The detective handling my case is SMOKIN' HOTT! Dear me.
