My mom's the only brown-eyed, freckly redhead in her family (she takes after her grandmother)--the rest are all Black Irish (dark hair, skin that tans, eyes of varying hues not brown). My niece got the red hair (from both Mom and my SIL's mother, who was northern Italian from the Alpine region, so she had red hair instead of the stereotypical black) as well.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've also been whining about my sunburn while my extremely pale mother tells me that it's not a real sunburn, it's just that my skin is slightly pink. Whatever it is, it's itchy. And also asymmetrical, which possibly bothers me more -- I only got burned on my right shoulder and the right side of my neck.

Oh, I hate asymmetrical burns!! The only good thing about a burn like that is that you have the option of sleeping on the unburned side.
ION, an excellent profile of Rachel Maddow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Free criminal searches on anyone! Do you really know who people are?
Well, I guess it's public info. I did find my brother in there.....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My computer at work totally died today! I've never been so happy about a failure of technology -- this means I get a new one, or maybe get to keep my current loaner, which used to be my boss's. It's very exciting!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I had to spend a large portion of today looking at gun control laws and especially the NRA's challenges to them.
I feel dirty, and not in the good way.

Heh. I read this after my "me too!" comment:
No kidding. Love is too weak a word to describe how some people feel about Rachel Maddow. They lurve her, loave her, luff her. New York magazine's online Intelligencer column recently ran an item headlined Why We're Gay for Rachel Maddow, and the blogosphere is dotted with posts like "I'm totally gay for Rachel Maddow." The "gay for Rachel" meme appears to transcend gender and sexuality. Women, men, straight and not straight: they're all gay for her. In a year in which we have decided to become postracial and postgender, Maddow may embody a media in which adoring fandom is postgay.
