Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Gar, I asked "what do you call?" I didn't ask "what's the name of the ethnic group that?"

So if you tell me that the people in the group I'm asking about resist an ethnic label, I pretty much don't care. I'm asking about what you call the now-Canadian people that came over that land bridge and scattered and settled and were here before the Europeans sailed over. That's all. You can or can not consider it an ehtnic group. I call it a group, and wonder how to identify it semantically.

Voltron got served.

I'm supposed to bring mimosa fixings to a brunch tomorrow. I'm thinking maybe I'll help with bellinis too. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best sparkling wines for this purpose, and a good brand of peach juice?

Prosecco makes a wonderful Bellini. Unfortunately, I can not remember the brand of peach nectar that Deb uses. But, look for nectar, not just juice.

How to talk to your child about the Brangelina baby: [link]

Is the Brangelina baby better than me? The only way to answer this is directly and honestly. Tell them: Yes, the Brangelina baby is better than you. But Mommy and Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa all love you very, very much. Less than they love the Brangelina baby, but with as much of their hearts still available.

Can I be friends with the Brangelina baby? No. He/she doesn't care about you. You cannot even look directly at the Brangelina baby. Explain that photos of the Brangelina baby are shot through special lenses, and that prolonged exposure to the Brangelina baby will make your child go blind.

The Brangelina baby is supposedly named Shiloh Nouvel. That should help ease feelings of inadequacy.

Prosecco. I have heard good things about that. Will see if it's around here.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Why do movie stars lose their minds when naming their children?

Vaughniston is on the cover of this week's EW. I am alarmed by how thin she is. She wasn't that thin on Friends.

Also, I would like a bellini. And a mimosa. Hmmm, maybe I should have brunch tomorrow.

I have to work tomorrow. Possibly a mimosa would help.

So, I posted over in Bitches, but no one seems to be there right now. Either that, or they just don't care that I saw a bear today, in the wild. Ok, I was in a car, but the bear was in the wild. And it wasn't just a brief flash. He kind of sauntered along the road towards us while we frantically rolled up our windows. It was just a black bear, but it was the biggest black bear I've seen that wasn't stuffed. Also, we were through with our hike, so it worked out perfectly!

Hmm. A mimosa sounds good.
