I would highly recommend that people check their milk for freshness before pouring it on their morning cereal, as my first clue that mine had spoiled since yesterday morning was a mouthful of raisin bran. I guess the power outage yesterday was a lot longer than I'd thought, if it could go THAT rancid in 24 hours.

On the plus side, a state trooper jumped the median in front of me this morning to catch the guy that had just zoomed past like I was standing still (I was doing maybe 77 or 78 at the time). Schadenfreude tastes much better than sour milk.

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

That, IMHO, was the biggest advantage I got from switching to soy milk for my cereal in the morning. It takes weeks and weeks for it to go bad!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thrakazog.

I watched that one too, and really liked it (though it was a bit mucus-filled for my taste). But the villain was great.

yes, it was. But Thrakazog was genius. That name exchange between him and the Tick was priceless.

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

It needs to be noted that the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight was voiced by Maurice Lamarche, aka The Brain of Pinky and the.

Huh. I could have SWORN that it was Dan Castellaneta, since EMBwBaM sounds so much like Krusty the Clown.

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

Top Chef: I really really want to be there for AB taking Tres out for yakitori and getting savage drunk. I love them both muchly.

I think the interaction between Hung and Tres could be interesting-- Tres seems like he could be a fan boy, and while Hung isn't nearly as annoying as Marcel, he is very open about being an asshole.

I thought it was interesting that they chose 2 top people and 4 bottom people. I wonder if Hung and Tres' dishes were just that much better than everyone else's, or if they are switching from 3 to 2 top people.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Teddy news: He had a difficult day yesterday, and the vet recommended he be brought in for IV fluids. This involves an overnight stay with bloodwork at the beginning and end.

We called the vet a bit ago. She said that, based on the results of the bloodwork, they spiked the fluids with extra potassium. Teddy's alert and interested in his surroundings, which is an improvement over yesterday.

We'll visit tonight before the vet office closes.

Art Crawl!!!

TC: I thought that maybe it was that they were clearly the top two but that weakest were weak for different reasons than the top were the top. I mean how do you balance unfinished stuff with stuff that is not very good with stuff that totally sucks. I think that there was some discussion (Tom's blog mentions that they had to check the rules) about whether they could keep Howie in - given that he hadn't finished the challenge and when it became apparent that they could -- then it was obvious that Clay had to go because his dish tasted the worse.
