Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Librarian Warlord

Some states used to ban interstate wine shipment, but that was ruled unconstitutional within the last couple years.

A former student of mine was one of the lawyers who worked on the case for a vineyard. Another librarian and I helped her get her hands on some documents, and we got a thank-you of a case of assorted reds, each.

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

That is a pretty nice gift!

I can't check from here (BB) to make sure they service LA but two related restaurant sites may be helpful. I know seamlessweb.com works in other cities and is another consolidated delivery site for neighborhood restaurants. I love it. Also, a more elite site than chowhound for finding resto reviews is egullet.com-- that has more of a professional posting base. Chowhound's recs have been a victim of its own success.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

To some Oklahoma football fans, there are things that just aren't done in the heart of Sooner Nation, and one of them is to walk into a bar wearing a Texas Longhorns T-shirt.

That's exactly what touched off a bloody skirmish that left a Texas-shirt-wearing fan nearly castrated and an Oklahoma fan facing aggravated assault charges that could put him in prison for up to five years.

I was in a church service down there where we gave thanks for the Friday night victory of the high school football team. I looked around for the cameras, but I wasn't being punk'd.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My alarm did not go off this am, but somehow I woke at the correct time, which is an hour earlier than usual, despite getting home at 9:45 last night, and drinking a couple of glasses of wine in order to fall asleep! Thank god because we have a class today.

Relately, how many sheet pizza pieces do you allow per adult person? I have 18 people, so I am thinking 2 pizzas? We also will have salad.

Punishingly Intricate

Really? huh. Last time I tried to get wine shipped from CA to MD they couldn't do it. That was about 2 years ago.

dag, I just overheard that the only other woman who works in the office is leaving. We're not great friends or anything but she's nice and relatively normal and I could ask her questions about the other people here without it being weird.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Chicago also has something called Delivery.com that acts as sort of a clearing house - you can scan menus for a gazillion restaurants and place your order through the site.

NYC (well, Manhattan) has Seamlessweb: [link]

Looks like they're in LA too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just got here, and so far have nothing clever to say....

I also, have nothing clever to say.

I was trying to remember last night's dream for a while, but it's gone.

People claims this picture is Courtney Love. I say Courtney's looking a lot like Goldie Hawn these days. It's the hair and the lips.
