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.
the best of the fairly middling
Every December, a year's worth of hype surrounding hit songs, bestsellers and blockbuster films culminates in a glut of magazine-ready lists naming the 10 Best This and the 10 Worst That.
23/6 wouldn't deign to foist our opinion on you like that. It's time to ease up on the hard sell and go gently into 2008 by honoring the things that were simply okay. Today, we salute the books, movies and music of 2007 that were perfectly middling.
Helloes! Thank goodness for new thread. I'm still catching up in Natter 55 and I dunno even why I got behind. The painting, I guess. I'm still painting, but we are damn near finished. I'm all in a good mood today because I painted my pantry. O how I love my pantry.
But I'm at home at the keyboard because painting all day meant I came home with sore hands and tired muscles and decided I needed to crash out before the NYE party. Which I proceeded to do. The SO woke me up after about forty minutes and apparently we had a brief but coherent conversation about the football game, leading him to believe that I was awake.
I was not. He came back in, startled, to find that I was not actually ready for the party, but back asleep. Then I fell asleep again, while trying to figure out if I was going to make it to the party or not. Which pretty much meant, not.
So then he forgot to take the mozzarella prosciutto roll things to the party with him, so I ate them. (Okay, a few slices.) Yum. Now I need to find out where I left the Advil so my muscles can stop complaining at me and I can watch tv. He's at the party, but coming back early so we can spend the actual NY together.
Hot bath, Liese, hot bath.
I indulged in one earlier and slatherd myself with body butter. I may not have an exciting life, but I'm clean, refreshed and I smell good.
And I don't have to work tomorrow.
Ah. You are correct, sarameg. I'll go run one right now.
Honestly, Cass, I realized how judgy my post sounded as I got all high horse about Heaton. But in reality, I like Albertson's less than I did when they were Luckys, but more than Ralphs.So, so judgy. @@ (Laughing, and not just on the inside.) ((Because we're all a little judgy, sometimes.))
I am a Trader Joe's girl all the way. Except when it comes to firelogs and other stuff I can't get there.
You should have a word with your doppleganger though. She was buying things like milk.
I was amused by this Wonkette post:
Mike Huckabee, seeking to channel Kang’s seminal policy position from the 1996 debates of “Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others,” ran circles around the abortion question on Meet the Press this weekend. He believes that the scientific evidence shows that life begins at conception, women are victims of abortionists and doctors who accept money for abortions should be punished. From this, we now assume that Huckabee’s position on Roe vs Wade is that abortions should only be legal when they’re free and that “we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.” All that twirling, though, can really make you dizzy, so be careful.
But then Kang and Kodos are always amusing....
Some Albersons are turning back into Luckys. Haven't been to one lately, though. Only a Raley's in my town. TJ's not too far away, luckily.
Happy New Years, East-coasters!
Thanks, tommy! The ball just came down.
Early Happy New Year to everyone else.
Happy New Year!
