Hi, Kat!

I need to be asleep, but I have lights on and haven't cleaned up after dinner or brushed my teeth. And I have a cute snuggly cat sleeping in my lap, so I can't get up.

Those mugshots made me laugh so much I cried.

Though admittedly, that's not hard to make me do.

Skipping to the end of Natter this morning was strange, with all the kosher mentiones.

Aunt Berta's Preserves (peach and berry of some kind, which apparently is Beth-El Foods where you are pretty jars. So yummy.

Kat, I don't think I ever saw those preserves in stores here, maybe they don't waste the lovely jars (they're so adorable!) on locals? Also, I'm foolishly pleased that they're so yummy, just because they're from around here.

Kosher glatt from kashrut.com--a fascinating read. Now I'm going through the humour section, and it's rapidly become a weird read.

Now I'm really curious - how did you get to this site? what's so interesting about it to non-practicing? Oh, and what's weird in the humor?

Also, one of the very few times I clicked on one of ita's links without any hesitation (um, well, it's one of the few times I clicked on one of ita's links at all. I'm of the weak heart and the feeble mind and less-chances-taking-links-wise).

And now I have to run, but will be quite pleased to go back and look for pictures of both Noah and Dylan. Yay pictures!

how did you get to this site?

I think I googled to it, long ago. Not sure what for, but the URL is easy enough to remember...

what's so interesting about it to non-practicing?

It read like a legal document, with precedents set in different cases and different states. I had no idea that precedents were being set. And then it'd say something like "In the US lung adhesions usually do not occur on fowl" and I'm left wondering what's so special about American poultry, and how I'd even start to google that one.

And that's all on top of not knowing that glatt meant smooth, and that it was a, well, variant of kosherness.

and what's weird in the humor?

Its rhythm was very...rolling. More like amusement, than comedy. Not precisely sure how to explain it. It just got very gentle.

Also, for the record, while some of my links are very much not your style, I think those are pretty apparent. If I say something's lovely or beautiful or cute, it's Nilly-appropriate. I'd hate to think you missed things like the icebergs.

Though I'm still hurt that everyone missed the Isabella Rossellini insect sex stuff. It was very educational.

Saw Iron Man last night, and my Robert Downey Jr love is stronger than ever. And now I must run off to class!

Gronk. Passive-agressive visit from the insomnia fairy last night (I felt like I was about 5 minutes away from getting to sleep pretty much the entire night). Still not bad for a Monday today, though.

I saw some of that, and had no comment. I was like "...."

Woah.

I am home sick with a headache. I've been kind of headachy all weekend, and this morning it's just worse. I don't know.

OMGWTFBBQ. (BBQ sword. Want!)

(BBQ sword. Want!)

That's brilliant. And better still, I can probably make one out of spare parts.

boo headache!

ramble: I cancelled a credit card last night (that I had not used since 2005!) and applied for a new 0% to roll a balance to, then I did a wee bit of yoga. I still only got 5 hours of sleep before being interrupted and then 1.5 more smooshed in mac's single bed, but fell approx 8 million times better than yesterday.

So I went to my parents' farm this weekend... Sunday morning, I got woken up at 6:30 by the sound of knocking on my window. Then there was knocking on the other window. I got up and looked - there was a crane standing right outside the window.

I wanted to tell my parents, "See, that's what happens when you destroy the natural order of things by sending all the barn cats away." I also wanted to tell them, "OMGWTFCrane!" but they're not on the internets....
