I like the ruffles.

I hate knee length shorts. They make me look super stumpier.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

What makes the slow melt popsicles work? The only ingredient in the list that looks like it might do it is the gelatin.

edit: I read to the end of the list. "Ice structuring protein"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate knee length shorts. They make me look super stumpier.

Yeah, that's not so much my problem.

Am I the only parent here who thinks these are a really terrible idea?

Also, terrible because they taste AWFUL. I had them from a sale box I bought at Target. Shudder.

Yeah, that's not so much my problem.

Yep. That's true. So they might be okay. I still would rather have capris.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I noticed that, when I was in New Orleans for a while, my NY/NJ accent would get stronger. Like, I'd somehow start having aspects that I'd never had before, like pronouncing "car" as "caw" or using "youse." (I think the "youse" may have been a reaction against people telling me not to address a group that contained women as "you guys.")

I did much the same thing, my Australian accent got stronger after moving to the US.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was a double bill of You Light Up My Life and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The fog was so thick we couldn't see the screen during the second show and left.

If it had happened during the first, I would suspect divine intervention.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I have a pair of knee length shorts in a very fine wale corduroy and I think they look cute, so THERE!

Punishingly Intricate

In an effort to distract myself, I'm obsessing over Hall and Oates again.

Hilariously one of the ukeleleists my band played with last week is obsessed with Hall & Oates! Oates is her dream husband. She did a kickass version of Say It Isn't So on the ukelele.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think it's probably the gelatin. When they do melt, it's more like jello thank juice.

They are very tasty, though, probably not vegan.
