Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Absolutely, Robin. Whenever you have time; I know this is a big week for you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Next week is good--the week after that, Jason is away and I will have dog duty.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

My mom makes really good corncakes

My grandmother used to make those. They are oh so very tasty.

edit:

I take that back. My grandmother's didn't have an egg in it. It was just milk and cornmeal. The batter was v. thick and not really pourable. She spooned it into hot oil and fried it.

Swouncing

Skippity and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Aimée and miracleman's anniversary.

Also, according to Robin "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 6, 2006 12:51:14 am PDT and counting on my fingers, isn't it also Robin and her DH's elopement anniversary? Or somewhere around now, anyway? Either way they deserve house congratulations, though, no?

So, lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year for all of them!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy anniversaries, y'all!!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Anniversaries!

Not to question the recipe, but wouldn't the cornmeal be kind of gritty with only that much liquid and no soaking time? Maybe if you mix in a smurf?

It does have some texture (they're not at all fluffy like pancakes, much more solid), but that's the way we grew up liking it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes! Hard to believe it's been five years!

We are going to see this band tonight: [link]

We've actually seen them perform quite a few times, but usually in our friend Jake's backyard back in LA. So excited to be seeing them again!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Anniversary, Miracleborns!

Aimee, they're great! They're usually at the Dublin Irish Festival here in town (this year is no different). After they plan in AA, they're heading down my way for the festival this year.

They played the steerage band in Titanic.
