Damn, sarameg. Find house and move fast~ma!
I've got my Gund panda. It's all the panda I will ever need. Other than the panda cam, but I don't think the panda's reach is long enough to be any problem.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

And have I said how excited I am for you about your trip?! SO COOL!!!
I still type the words and laugh like an idiot. I can't believe it.
If you know anyone or of anyone who would know anyone who'd be willing to housesit (!!! I have to get a house before the trip!) as in live in while I'm gone, I'd appreciate it. A week, I'm ok with just daily visits. Something that looks like 3, and I'll have at least 2 freaked out cats in a new place...I'm thinking I need a homeless, reliable college student or something living there and keeping an eye on things.
Yes, I am planning WAY ahead. I kinda need to.

Still behind crime tape. But the cats are cute.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This one is the best:
Tofu vs. Bacon Food Fight! They’re just little bendy characters, but aren’t they cute? I’m especially drawn toward Tofu, mostly because of his mustache, I think. Perfect for a mixed household - one vegetarian, one meat addict.

I've been reading some of the NY Times archive articles about the Milk-Moscone assassinations. One thing I noticed -- they used "coast" in headlines to refer to California. Like "Slayer of Coast Mayor is Free After Six Years" or "US Will Not Prosecute in 1978 Killings On Coast." I wonder when that usage stopped. I don't remember ever seeing it, but it's in the headlines up through at least 1985.

Huh, that's so interesting about the "coast" usage.
sarameg, where do you live?

DH wanted some pasta. Yes, it was after midnight. But I whipped up a cream sauce with butter, garlic, half & half, goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and cracked pepper. Served it over some penne.
When does Sean Penn's biopic of Milk come out?

Milk premiered in SF last week, but I think it opens nationwide on... Wednesday, I think.
I just came back from the new Mary Zimmerman production, Arabian Nights, and it was wonderful. It's a return to the story-cycle technique of Metamorphosis rather than the linear narrative of Argonautika. The set and cast and structure were all just fabulous, and the content ranged from deeply moving stories of lost love and missed opportunities to ... fart jokes. Bay Area types should try to see it, although I'd suggest going for tickets now, because it looks like it's going to sell out.
