Hec, Owen LOVES doing the Puppet Master. While shopping for new hats & gloves, we found Yo Gabba Gabba sets--Owen picked out Plex and Liv picked out Foo Fah. So freakin' cute.

If they made them in my size, I'd have bought one for me.

Oh, and Liv calls Mudo "Hot Dog."

I've got some sort of death virus with a cough and sore throat. Went to bed at 8 p.m. after phone banking for Obama. While making tea, I did find a packet of miso so that is a win. Nothing feels better than a steaming, hot cup of miso.

Hell, now I want a grilled cheese sandwich and sweet potato fries and it's only 8:30 in the morning.

Went out to dinner last night-- indulged in chicken pot pie which I have not had in forever. Also indulged in a dessert they call s'mores and while tasty, wasn't quite heated through in the center. Eh, only really wanted a few bites anyway, since I'm not a huge s'mores person. But our favorite dessert (chocolate pecan pie with vanilla bean ice cream) has been discontinued.

I now have a writer's group meeting this morning. At some point, probably while I was in a bar, I agreed to speak on a panel on promotion. Why? I have no idea since I'm the world's biggest cynic when it comes to promo for writers, so I'm going to be, as Pete put it in Bitches, "a pisspot full of shunshine."

(Did I get that right, Pete?)

GG, have you heard any Lucia Micarelli? Classically trained, but plays Led Zep and Queen.

I have hear some before but don't own any; however, I'm moving it up my list of things to buy and add to the iPod.

Ditto. I know a place called Hatricks in Tampa Hatricks that makes great sweet potato fries. I might be going to Tampa next weekend. While Hatricks is on the other side of the city from MOSI, it would be worth the trip.

I think "pisspot full of shunshine" is on its way to becoming a new Buffista phrase.

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. Going to hit the mall and the library.

I hate this cold.

I could've slept in some. But like every other day this week, I woke up and can't go back to sleep despite being exhausted.

Which, on one hand...I didn't miss the FedEx guy. Jesus. 9 am. That's just mean.

OMG, you guys, there is a grilled cheese cart in my neighborhood on weekend late nights and it is MADE OF AWESOME! Plus they make maybe the best fries I've ever had. (with malt mayonnaise! yum!!!) you could also get sweet potato fries but I didn't wait around for that. And the guys who run it are totally cute and nice and thrilled that people were into their thing. And there was a band, too, with an accordian. I am loving my neighborhood right now!!!

That's it. I'm moving to Baltimore.

My dad must be lurking. He called me the other day and asked me to make him grilled cheese sandwiches when I come over today.

I a) want a grilled cheese sandwich and b) want one of those carts!

I have a full blown head cold. I should have stayed in bed, but I dragged myself to the farmer's market totally hopped up on cold medicine. Of course I ran into a few people I hadn't seen in ages, and was very spacey and congested and probably acted like a freak.

I think I will go back to bed for a while.
