I just had birthday cake (not mine; for all the january b-days).
There was lots and lots of sugar, and I washed it down with a diet coke.
Fear me.

It's Ken's Steakhouse Lite. Most caesar's do this. No msg, which make my cheekbones feel like they are floating, totally different thing.
Someone go peel Lee off the ceiling.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hmm. Wikipedia says that the horse/hoarse split in the Boston accent is "rapidly fading out of currency." (The horse/hoarse split is the thing where four and store are pronounced as fo-ah and sto-ah, sort of.) Is it really? I know that most of my relatives in my mom's generation pronounce it that way, but I'm not sure how many of the younger ones do. (I know that my cousin who's just about my age says fo-ah for four, but I don't really talk to most of my other younger cousins that often.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I just read this over at Salon, compiled from data from the Congressional Budget Office:
The average after-tax income of the richest one percent of households rose from $722,000 in 2003 to $868,000 in 2004, after adjusting for inflation, a one-year increase of nearly $146,000, or 20 percent. This increase was the largest increase in 15 years, measured both in percentage terms and in real dollars. In contrast, the income of the middle fifth of the population rose $1,700, or 3.6 percent, to $48,400 in 2004. The income of the bottom fifth rose a scant $200 (or 1.4 percent) to $14,700.
But we have a strong economy, our president said so just last night!
Yeah, right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know about that, really, but it does remind me of something funny that I heard: a coworker from MA was telling a story of her childhood, and started off saying the mean girl called her "lame," someone else said, "Is that really what she said? Back then?" And the coworker admitted that what she really called her was "quay-ah." Which, of course, was the insult of my day -- queer ala EMass.
