I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Although, given that the eggs remain primarily raw, perhaps best that I stick to pasteurized eggs.

Well, I always think of the eggs as being cooked by the hot pasta. Also, when I do carbonara (in which I will throw just about anything in with pasta, parmesan cheese, and eggs, not just bacon) I also use the local farm super fresh eggs (which I choose to believe have a much lower chance - than the already low chance in farm factory eggs - of having salmonella.) I have been hooked on farm eggs since I first started eating them, about three years ago now!

Wow, that's a lot of paranthetical action there.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

his current job is at a boutique law firm specializing in wine law. How freaking cool is that?

Damn it. I knew I shoulda gone to law school.

....well, no, actually. I don't give a shit about wine law; I just like to quaff large amounts of the stuff.

McCain pulling out of Michigan

Oh goody. More McCain birdcage liners in my mail

Right? Mine, too.

Actually, now that I think about it, all our political mail has been in favor of Obama. Maybe McCain targets his mail to specific ZIP codes; ours is the Cincinnati equivalent of San Francisco. It's VIGOROUSLY liberal, and it has a high percentage of Teh Gays, as well as Teh Blacks and Uppity Wimmins. Maybe Old Guy figured it would be a waste of postage.

What time is the debate? 10? 9?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just slammed Orson Scott Card, taught my students the word schadenfreude, led two successfulish whole class discussions where they made sense of the Aristotle stuff WITHOUT ME and got a kid to register to vote.

Dude. Even without the fever, that's an awesome teaching day!

And on another subject - mammograms are uncomfortable and unpleasant BUT it's once a year, doesn't take long, and may save your life.

Get thee to a radiologist!
