Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Noah and my mom videochatted. In the 7 minutes they were online together, she taught him to blow kisses and almost to say a noah-version of grandma. I'm curious what he will be like after 3 weeks with her at christmas (she and my dad are coming out here).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I get my eyebrows waxed. My skin is way too sensitive for plucking -- I end up with a face full of broken blood vessels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You people are crazy. They are delicious!

Oh good, I don't have to fear brussel spouts in a week.

If we could get my parents on videochat... I think my mother would be in heaven.

Can't decide if it fills me with love or hate! I always wanted a casio electric keyboard. And yet, I already have enough bizarrely atonal electronic music playing from children's toys.

I hated brussel sprouts for years, and then a friend made me awesome brussel sprouts, and then I had a fantastic salad with brussel sprouts in it a month or so back.

So now I like brussel sprouts. The key is not to boil them; you have to braise or roast them to keep them from getting bitter.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I love them myself, but I have gotten out of the cooking habit, so I don't buy a lot of stuff that requires thought and effort.

My parents are on really slow dialup. They can't get cable where they are and for some reason I don't get, are dragging their feet about dsl.
