I think I might have talked myself into pasta caprese if I can find high enough end mozarella at my first attempt.

I scootch forward as close as possible in left-turn lanes to make sure that, if I'm able to get through, the person behind me at least has a fighting chance of also making it, but at a garden-variety red light or in really wretched stop and go freeway traffic I ALWAYS stop at least one car-length back, usually a bit more if it's dark and rainy.

I've been rear-ended exactly twice, once on the freeway and once on a rainy street at a red light, and both times the gap ahead was the only thing that kept me from slamming into the car in front of me (and, no, the gap wasn't what let me be rear-ended; I was rear-ended because the people behind me were following way too close despite shitty driving conditions, and when we all had to slam on our brakes they had no stopping room at all). So I'm a big, big stopping non-creeper. Two rear-endings is plenty, thanks.

mmmm. sounds good.

I doused sliced grape tomatoes (santa sweets) and chopped up cukes with a caesar spritzer dressing for part of dinner. Ate the whole damned bowl. So good.

Steph- That cast of HIMYM clip-- when they are singing from Les Miz, remains one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I think I have shown it to everyone I have ever met, even people who don't know Les Miz, NPH or Jason Segal from a hole in the ground. Surprisingly, it is still funny.

When I went to school for theatre, I had to hide my love of musicals. Our graduating class was so serious. And serious theatre people who wanted to change the world did not like musicals. And, out of the whole class, only one person is doing theatre as their day job, and two of us are still doing theatre. I think maybe we were a little too serious.

Also, my internet connection just crapped out for, like 2 hours, even though my computer said I was connected and my connection light on the router thingie was green.

I remember walking around the Mall with meara & co (Vortex, were you there?) at night and they kept breaking into song. It was rather hilarious. Couldn't be stopped.

(I do not sing. Not in public, and I spare my own sensibilities in private.)

Nothing I love more than breaking into song.

I watched Dr. Horrible! Good times.

Now I should go to bed, since I apparently have to get up at 4:45 tomorrow. WTF.

I knew the full recording of Les Miz a good 10 years before I saw it and I knew it from hearing it almost everyday for 3 months solid. I oftem break into:

"You in the barricades listen to this- no one is going to help you to fiiiigghhtt. You're on your OWN!..." And on and on. Me singing all the parts. It's possible my brother is the only who does not find this annoying or odd.
