This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

And on other news: it's morning. I don't wanna work. I just want to sit here, and watch a lot of Gutter Twins youtube videos.

Why isn't there a split computer screen, so I'll be able do both?

it's morning. I don't wanna work.

I know the feeling, Shir. I know it all too well.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Update: it's noon, and I still don't wanna work.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Get a wide enough screen and you can indeed do both together!

I took a Tylenol PM last night, and aside from an odd dream that was composed of a variety of Stephen King novel scenarios and tent-caterpillar-like alien invaders, I slept well and hard and I'm actually pretty much ready for the Day.

I hope.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi Theo! How did the web design presentation go? I'm a skipping skipper so I only saw that it was happening.

And now this Outer Limits has a woman in cahoots with her fetus

kicks things off by roasting them for extra flavour.

This is how I always make vegetable broth. Gives a really nice sort of extra flavor.

I need to put together slides for a talk I'm giving on Friday. I think I forgot how to do math.

NY Times article in which the author agonizes over whether it's OK to let his 16- and 17-year-old sons have a few sips of wine with dinner. [link]

@@ I was allowed to take a sip of my parents' wine if I asked when I was about 6. I can't remember the exact age, but I know that, if we were having wine at dinner at home, I was asked if I wanted a glass by the time I was 14 or 15 or so. Have not yet turned into an alcoholic.
