But it's metropolis, too, right? Or is that Chicago? (Trust me to ask the important questions.)

The standard thinking these days is that Metropolis is NYC. Gotham is in Jersey.

Bludhaven is also in Jersey.

I gather the DC writers don't think much of Jersey.

I suck at the BROQ name the Buffista game.

Noah is sitting on the table, eating Trader Joe's puffed "Veggie" Sticks. He loves those MORE than cheerios and MORE than the nasty Gerber puffed stuff. They are delish. I can't blame him.

Had a busy morning so far. Dropped the dog off at the groomer. Bought a 1/4 sheet cake and a fruit tart from Portos. K's mom's flight from Dallas (on American, natch) cancelled. grrr.

Oh, that sucks. I'm flying American tomorrow afternoon, and I'm hoping that we're not going to be cancelled.

I just got 7901 on Word Sandwich. That's probably the best I will ever do, so I should quit while I'm ahead.

And even though the current push to make it "official" is Batman-movie driven, Gotham was a nickname for NYC about 100 years before DC Comics ever existed.

I was going to say. This is why "Gotham City" can't be trademarked.

Dunkin Donuts is opening in my town on April 7!

Jon Krasinski was on Leno last night (I don't even watch Leno, or The Office) and he was explaining about how he came from New England (and had actually done a couple of commercials for them, in one of which he played a hockey player getting the snot beaten out of him) and he proceeded to lament the total lack of Dunkies in southern California. He said, "I think Sacramento is just too long a commute for your favorite cup of coffee, you know?"

He is planning to bring the power of the Dunkies to Los Angeles, just as soon as the acting thing doesn't work out.

Isn't Baltimore "The City that Reads" ?

That's like three slogans ago. From Mayor Kurt Schmoke's term (erika, he's the one who promoted the idea of legalizing drugs as a crime-fighting tool a la Bunny Colvin. And he showed up on the show as...maybe the health commisioner? I don't remember exactly)

I just got 7901 on Word Sandwich. That's probably the best I will ever do, so I should quit while I'm ahead.

I got over 10000 once, mainly because one of my regular narrowing down words was the word, and I got it on the second guess. I've had to walk away from Word Sandwich, my wrists were starting to ache.

Okay, I am SO getting this outfit for my niece:

Except sometimes DC comics refer explicitly to NYC. So....not sure.

Bludhaven is also in Jersey.

Was. Now it's a crater. In Jersey.
