Do they multiply??

When a mommy string meets a daddy string, they join sockets and then...wait.

This is such a strange cold. Spacy, but very little slime. Just an odd feeling in my sinuses and throat, occasional pointless cough and really evil headache at the base of my skull. Oh, and exhaustion. I don't really know how to treat it now.

why yes, when I'm sick, that's all I talk about. Maybe I think if I describe it to death, it will leave sooner.

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

I have a small cold. Despite that, I went and did a hard workout at the gym. I hate feeling whiny, and perhaps I'll be too tired to do so now.

I am so verklempt over Mac. It's like all sorts of magic. Wonderful, wonderful.

Happy birthday, 'Suela!

Kirk Cameron has come a long way since his TV series. This I knew. However, I just stumbled on this clip talking of how the banana is proof of God's existence (and kindness, really). It's not Kirk's argument, but his co-host's. However, looking at this annotated and slightly longer clip, it looks like he agrees sincerely.

I think the rebuttals in the second clip are militant and over my personal line but I do like the wild banana information.

I'm still looking for an interpretation that has that argument as merely a goof.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Go Allyson, with the Sedaris comparison!

Devi's discovered a new toy. About 2 feet of peach ribbon. She's been carrying it EVERYWHERE. And bringing it to me so I'll swing it around for her to chase.

Nothing like waking up froma nap to a spitty wet ribbon dropped across your neck.

Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes! I got James Bond (which was impressive, such stuntwork!) and I did some writing, and my beautiful new mountain bike came in, and my sister is making me dinner with cake!

So, not a bad birthday at all.

Plus, Mac got to have pizza! Yay!

Now tagless for your comfort.

However, I just stumbled on this clip talking of how the banana is proof of God's existence (and kindness, really).

Um, the overbred fruit that has nearly lost it's ability to make seeds and now depends on man to propagate itself through cuttings? That banana?

Happy birthday, Consuela!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Made the bread from NYT today-- seemed to take up half the day. I guess the hour spent trying to purchase a cast-iron pot is part of the problem. I'm not sure I'll make it again, since it seemed a little time-intensive and undercooked, but the idea of putting flavorings in it like cheese and fruit is appealing.
