I don't know how much the national news has covered this, but they found the body of the hiker who was kidnapped. [link] There hasn't been much hope ever since her dog turned up alone. It's played out like a Law & Order episode, except for the dreadful fact that it's not fiction.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

I've never had Dutch Baby. Swedish pancakes, yep. I mean, I got hauled to the Vasa lodge nearly every summer to be shown off to the other grammas.
I didn't like swedish pancakes so much back then, but that may be the lingering crepe crap. (I had a huge meal of blueberry crepes once and was hit with a bout of stomach flu. Put me off any thinnish chewy pancakey things, as well as blueberries, for a long while. Still not a fan of crepes, though I did eat some in Prague.)
My laptop screen is intermittently working again. Still glad I have the external monitor, because it is random. Really need to look at new 'puters. I'd be financially smartest to get a mini or something, but I want a laptop. Even though I don't really use a laptop as a laptop...

... We don't anymore, do we? Well drat.
We don't. We have, what? 13 Coins, the IHOP in Cap Hill, and the SoDo Denny's that's not 24 hours on Saturday nights because of gang violence.
Oh. We do have a 24 hour drive thru Starbucks, I think. (It was at one point, and may still be.)
We're practically Bellevue now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I guess this is why there's no CSI: LA. There's overlooking and then there's just missing some shit.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Wow, ita, that's just...yeah.
As I am finally caught up, I can say:
Many happy returns of the day, MM!
And then, in the way of school teachers everywhere who have to get up too damn early, go to bed.

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

Happy Birthday, MM!
ur CFO had an aneurism over the weekend. She's in the hospital, out for at least a month, apparently. Our COO is still out dealing with the death of her father. Yikes.
Ouch, that's tough, Jesse. Good luck to your organization!! Eesh. Here's hoping not too much of the stress ends up on YOU!
I love that I can make a "Chess" reference here and people will not only get it; they'll RUN with it.
Heh. Wish I'd been around earlier!! Stage managing our production of that was hellish, but there were good points. Still fun to belt out "Nobody's Side" on occasion
We get pancakes one day a year here.
...Ireland hates brunch? And by extension, weekends? I must rethink everything I ever knew about the country. Even if they are good with oatmeal. Damn.
Does this wedding cake indicate a BRIDEZILLA???
That is super super weird. Also, I pity the groom. And wonder.
I assume everyone's going to the ST:TNG place with that and it's not just me?
Hah! I forgot until you said that, but I am NOW!
Dutch Baby! My mom used to make those on special brunch occasions, but hasn't in years now. Hmm.....

OK, I know I hate to get up and go to work in the morning, but I just half-heard a news report about a little boy (10?) who glued his hand to his bed so he wouldn't have to go back to school after the winter holiday. Industrial glue. Took a while to get him loose.
... I just faked a stomach ache.
ah, progress.
