Best passive-aggressive note ever: [link]
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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There is vegan worcestershire. You can get it at Whole Foods. I think the brand I've used is Annie's, but there were one or two other brands, too.
I've got a recipe for Caribbean Jerk Tofu that's really good, but it's not really simple -- it has about 7 or 8 different spices in it, plus brown vinegar and orange juice and a bit of sugar and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting now.
I've also tried cutting the tofu into cubes, shaking in a bag with some cornmeal and salt and spices, and then pan-frying. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but good.

All of my favorite towels are in the dryer downstairs so it's either wait for them to be dry or break out the less-favored towels so I can be clean for class this morning. Dilemmas!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. We just had an earthquake.
I heard that on the news! Crazy.
Also, anyone with Time Warner cable anywhere can apparently watch our New York 1 people doing Pope coverage. But our beloved Pat Kiernan is on an alternate channel doing the regular news, so you're out of luck there, I guess.

Vladimir Putin dumped his wife and is planning to marry an Olympic gymnast half his age. 24-year-old Kabaeva was known for her "extreme natural flexibility" - she won a gold in the all-around at the 2004 Athens Olympics - but is now retired from gymnastics and has been elected to the Russian parliament...as a representative of Putin's party.

Huh. And I got called into work early today, and my afternoon would have been free.

I think the quotes around flexibility utterly skeeve me out.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Huh. We just had an earthquake.
Which I didn't feel, but my cat did, since she woke me up at 4:40, meowing at full blast. I thought she was just being a brat (she had already woken me up an hour or so earlier, trying to paw through my jewelry box), so I bitched her out and rolled over to go back to sleep. When my alarm went off at 6:15, the first thing the radio news talked about was the earthquake and what time it happened, so I apologized for being mean and not freaking out with her.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm so mad! When I woke up all over the radio it was "OMGWTF Earthquake!" and people apparently felt it as far away as Ohio and I didn't feel one little shake.
Darn that living on the first floor and sleeping on a low bed.
