Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I want some information about John F. Kennedy. He was from England, right? Like, London? Also, did he have any military experience?"

My first instinct is to think that the patron might be confusing JKF's dad's position as ambassador to the UK, but on second thought, he was probably just being dim. I doubt very much he has any clue about Senior's diplomatic career. As for "did he have any military experience"--yeah, he's being dim.

I know my sense of taste is screwed up right now due to my sinuses, but I'm pretty sure a blueberry muffin isn't meant to taste like bananas.

In other news, last night I discovered that I shouldn't hop off my bed from a standing position whilst wearing chenille slippers. Chenille + hardwood floor = painful pratfalls.

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

If you have a good view to the WSW just after sunset tonight, have a look for Comet McNaught.

Not as dramatic as Hale-Bopp or Hyakutake, but still pretty.

'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"

I, on the other hand, disproved my lifelong conviction that I'm a klutz the other night, when I was out at the side of my house trying to fix a loose piece of shingling that was flapping in the wind and keeping me awake. I'd grabbed an old stool that had been sitting in my junk pile to stand on, and I guess it had stood out in the elements too long, because as I stood on it, reaching for stuff, it gave way.

I hopped off it even as it was falling and landed safely. In my slippers. In the dark.

I think it's just the chenille part. The word evokes frilliness. I'm sure your slippers are the sloungiest.

Art Crawl!!!

ION, I need slippers. My apartment floors are COLD.

They're shiny and black! And it was really freaking cold outside last night.

I hopped off it even as it was falling and landed safely. In my slippers. In the dark.

See, I'm taking comfort in the fact that I didn't break anything or crack my head open, and most of the pain I caused myself was eased by a handful of ibuprofren and a really hot shower.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have fuzzy slippers with the non-slippy stuff on the bottom. Usually, though, there is a thin layer of sticky, dried apple juice to give me enough traction on our floors.
