I'm impressed you had the energy to take your inside pants off already.
Me too! I went out, and bought stuff I shouldn't have, and now I am home, with inside pants on again.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
DH went and bought groceries and did a fine job except for he forgot to buy wine. sigh. No wine for a week. I could forego wine easily when I was pregnant, but as mother of two? Not the same.

“Not dead yet!”
I did groceries and laundry and even folded it while it was still warm out of the dryer while I watched Florida State kick the tar out of Chattanooga.
Now it's tea and biscotti while I cuddle Jasmine and try to write some with USC/Ohio State on in the background.
A pretty good Saturday, all in all.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I went for a very slow run, did some laundry, and have spent the afternoon in a coffee shop, writing. Go me.
Of course, it's fanfic, not original fic, but still, writing.

Thrive to spite them
So I'm watching the PBS pledge drive and what's his name that played BJ Hunnicut on MASH and some chick were talking, he said something about her not knowing about the economy or foreign policy and then she joked "I'm qualifed to be Vice President" and he laughed and agreed.
I'm a little fuzzy since it's on closed captioned (I'm at my grandma's) but still Palin is a joke on a PBS fund raiser.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was watching that, too, and I am pretty sure that was Michelle Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas..

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Couldn't find garam masala and developed a migraine to boot, so no chicken tikka from scratch for me tonight.
Cereal sounds doable, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm sorry about the migraine. Just in case you want to make your own garam masala the next time,
2 tablespoons cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 tablespoons cardamom seeds
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
1 (3-inch) stick cinnamon, broken up
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Toast everything in a dry skillet, then grind. Or use the same quantities of pre-ground, if that's what you gotta do. I don't know your usual spice cabinet, but if you only lack a couple of those, they may be easier to find than prepared garam masala -- and it'll certainly be better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the one time I was using garam marsala, I made it myself. Of course, I never used the cardamom after that, but eh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Every spice there but the peppercorns and the nutmeg appear either in the tikka masala recipe or the pilaf, though I don't have them in seed form. Ground or pods, I think.
