Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I don't know that that wouldn't make it worse, Barb...

Kenny Shopsin is a nut. I still think my favorite mac-n-cheese situation was the croquette I got at the new automat. Good times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has anyone else heard anything about this possibility?

Yes.

Well, I just had some very spicy queso-- the upside is my nose is now running so much, I can no longer smell the stinky bath salts. This is good, I think.

The queso was definitely good.

I'm getting uncomfortable visions of them mud wrestling in bikinis.

For some reason, my visions are of them wrestling in pudding....

Barb! I've got your bag and I snagged a box from work to mail it in. Now I just have to get my ass over to the post office to send it out to you, which I will do tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

I was just doing some reading at political blogs, and I'm liking the latest meme of equating McCain with Gollum, which I first saw on TDS last week (I'm such a LotR geek!). The New York Times is doing it now:

Remember how we used to joke about John McCain looking like an old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn? It’s only in retrospect that we can see that the keep-off-the-grass period was the McCain campaign’s golden era. Now, he’s beginning to act like one of those movie characters who steals the wrong ring and turns into a troll.

During that last debate, while he was wandering around the stage, you almost expected to hear him start muttering: “We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious.”

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

You can find it at Publix, GG-- it's called Gordo's and it's in the Dairy case. They have a mild and a hot-- the hot, while spicy, doesn't really sear the sinuses, more pleasantly kicky.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy and Barb, I am in your club today. My sinuses are acting up, due to a nearby wildfire. [link] Yes, the destruction of homes and nature and the dangerous work of the firefighters is important, but will no one think of my poor head? Proportion, people!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Bouchercon was good. As usual with these type of cons, I returned with more books than I started with, and this time I only bought three.(Got 5 books in my goodie bag and a trade of Gotham Central vol. 1 when I attended the Batman:World's Greatest Detective? panel) Oh, and another tote bag.(The books were in the tote bag)
